The whale that we swam with
Malo e lelei Everyone
I have done many exciting things in my 22 years at sea. I have swam with the dolphins in Mexico, snorkeled with the stingrays in the Grand Cayman and snorkeled with sharks in Moorea.I was lucky to have a few more hours off in port this cruise.
Today’s port of call was Vavu’U in Tonga. I had the opportunity to swim with the humpback whales, which was one of the best things I have ever done. It was a little bit scary at first, but it’s so amazing seeing those big mammals in the water with you.
We stopped in a spot near a mother and her calf and we were able to get in the water and swim with them! You will see from the photos just how beautiful these creatures are.We had a fantastic trip, from the minute we left the ship early morning to our return in the early afternoon.
After our spectacular and exhilarating swim with the whales, we went to a private beach for lunch and then we went to the Swallow caves to have a swim which was also amazing. If you are ever in Tonga check it out, you will never forget it, I am still smiling ear to ear.I will chat to you all soon about our mail drop off in Tin Can Island.
What a fun packed cruise this has been!
Ciao for nowJane
