“This experience was even more unique and magical than I imagined. Being so close to the whales and the intimate moments with them is a memory I’ll never forget. Karim was so charismatic, and extremely knowledgable, and the locals were just the nicest happiest people l’ve ever met. I’ll never forget this.

“I felt like I was on a National Geographic adventure! Wondering if it is worth it to swim with humpback whales? There's no words to describe what it feels like to have a baby humpback come over and play with you. Lite changing. No regrets. Happy memories I’ll keep for my whole lite and share with my kin and friends. “

“ It was one of the best trips, maybe even the best trip I’ve ever taken in my life. Karim had a good balance of appreciating the wildlife as well as getting awesome photos of the group, which I really appreciated. Karim is also a very lovely, fun, and interesting guy, and I think he attracts a certain type of customer, which really worked well for me. Most people on the trip were around a similar age from early twenties to late thirties, who love the ocean, love traveling, very like-minded people, the whole group had a great vibe.”

“What an experience of a lifetime! My friend talked me into going on this trip and we both had an amazing time. Karim was great with communication when it came to what to pack, buying plane tickets, and helping us to know what to expect. The accommodations were comfortable, the boat captain and crew were wonderful and the people of Tonga were so friendly. The other participants who went on the trip are now lifetime friends. Thank you Karim!”

“It was amazing! Being able to see just a small part of a humpback's world was an indescribable experience. They are so massive yet so graceful and gentle. Tonga itself is such a beautiful place to see with all its unique islands and coral reefs.”

“This trip was incredible! As if a trip to explore Tonga's islands, reefs, and ocean isn't enough... it's paired with the insane experience of swimming with humpback whales. What I thought was a once-in-a-lifetime experience has turned into an annual one. So excited to go back next year!”
