# Whale watching in Tonga Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea
champ2109 10:48 UTC 03 Dec 2007 | Hi, I am planning on travelling around Tonga for a couple of weeks in July 2008. My main objective is to swim with the whales. Am I better off booking a whale watching tour before I leave or is it easy to book once in Tonga? Do they book out. Thanks for your advice |
dadams 22:06 UTC 04 Dec 2007 | Whale watching is best done in Vavau or Haapai. It is easy enough to book once you get there. In Vavau there are a couple of operators so you should be able to find one that has a few spots left - we never had a problem making a booking (they aren't always full). | 1
