Why ʻEua?
While islands like Vava’u are more well known, ʻEua remains Tonga’s hidden jewel for whale encounters. Its deep offshore waters attract whales close to the shoreline, creating ideal conditions for incredible swims.ʻEua has no large crowds and a slower pace of life, every moment feels personal as if the island and its whales are welcoming you home!
From towering cliffs and ancient rainforests to the warm embrace of the local community, ʻEua is wild, untouched and profoundly serene. It’s one of the few places on Earth where whales give birth and raise their calves in crystal clear waters…
and you’ll be there to witness it!
