Little do you know that Tonga is considered the safest place for humpback whales to breed offspring during the journey toward the Antarctic. With the ideal calm shallow waters near the island, Tonga allows whales to hide their newborns from killer whales and other enemies. Young whales, often 4.5 meters long, will spend two months here to get stronger before starting a journey across the oceans.

Whales are competent swimmers in the sea despite their huge bodies. Once they know you have no intent to harm them, they welcome you with their unique dance. If you’re lucky enough to meet these amicable guys, you’ll have a chance to see them swimming two feet away from you while waving their enormous fins in front of your face. These intelligent mammals know that humans are small and fragile creatures compared to them, so they behave as carefully as possible.
