Funny things

My husband and I were sat out on our deck this morning watching the sunrise and talking about the arrival of the Humpback Whales in Vava'u. There is never a set time, it happens every year between the third week of June and 1st week of July approx. As we finished our conversation, we heard a tremendous noise behind us. Lo and behold not a 100m off our deck was an adult and sub adult humpback whale, who took four breaths before they dove again. What a great way to start off a day, and to know that our waters are safe for these whales even if for a short time, there are no hunters here.

Tonga declared a whale protected area in 1979, the first of the South Pacific, we will continue from here to fight for further protection on their migration route and to the complete protection of this wonderful species who will surprise you so early in the morning.......

Many more stories to come as the season builds, new plans, more research, education and a whole heap of whales
