Hi there and Malo e lelei!!!
We are the Tanoa Expeditions group in Tongatapu. We operate a brand new boat from the international hotel, where there are less than a handful of licensed operators, lots of whales and no internal flights needed. Your money is fully protected and every aspect of travel looked after on a one-to-one basis. Our package 5-day trips start at little more than AUD3,000.
We are delighted to have the chance to introduce you safely and sustainably, to Tonga's largest and most charismatic inhabitants.
When you contact us, we will get straight back to you. We encourage you to read our FAQs page first, as this contains the most important information to consider before booking your trip to Tonga. Enquire about or book a tour here. Click here to view a list of departure dates.

Barracuda is brand new, outstandingly stable in rough seas (which often happens), fast, dry and even has an inside toilet.
If you're swimming every day and multiple times a day, you need somewhere comfortable to travel. There isn't a better equipped vessel on the island.
We are based on the main island of Tongatapu in Nuku'Alofa. The flight takes about 4.5 hours from Australia. There are also direct flights from New Zealand. Though we usually recommend going via Fiji as the schedules are a little more regular.
