# How much time is needed for the whale trips? Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea
mrjack 13:59 UTC 03 Feb 2010 | Hi, I'm thinking of heading over to Tonga in August to swim with the Humpback Whales. How much time is realisticly needed to do this and have a bit of a look around? I get real bored just lying on a beach. What would / should my budget need to be? I'd probably want to swim with the humpback whales for four / five days or so. Regards, Tim |
