Tour & Travel Agents and Operators in Tonga

"Kia Orana,

I am writing to introduce Pacific Schooners, our ship â.€.œ.Tiare Taporoâ.€.. and myself.

â.€.œ.Tiare Taporoâ.€.. when she commences regular voyages in April 2012 will be the first trading schooner delivering cargo and carrying passengers under sail in the South Pacific for more than a generation. We believe that these soft adventure voyages will have a wide appeal to many of your clients.

The Cook Islands located as they are in the central western Pacific with French Polynesia to the east and the Samoas to the west are a diverse and spread out group of fifteen islands, with Rarotonga as their capital. Pacific Schooners will operate three voyages around the islands of seven, fourteen and twenty two day"

"The idea of WhaleSwim Adventures began in 1997 for it’s owner Rae Gill, from a eyeball to eyeball encounter with a humpback whale off the coast of the Dominican Republic. She knew that her passion was to make available this experience (under strict guidelines) to as many people as possible to raise the awareness of the vital importance of the conservation of the whales of our oceans.

Since then, each whale season in Tonga, July - October, Rae and her team of whale conservationists, marine biologist and professional wildlife photographers are there, providing the best 7 and 9 day expeditions for people from all around the world to snorkel with the humpback whales.

Rae also works with other whale-watching tours operators in Canada to provide the best expeditions in each l"

"Friendly Island Experience was first established in 1993 by Mrs. Waltraud (Maria) Quick of Germany. When first established, the "now called Friendly Island Experience" was then named "Reisedienst Quick Tours Ltd" (after its owner), which translation means "Travel service Quick Tours Ltd". Throughout the years, as the operation grew, Mrs. Quick further established another tourism venture in 1994, the "Heilala Holiday Lodge" (located on the main Island of Tongatapu in the village Tofoa).


Even today, the Friendly Island Experience is still a small and very personal operation being managed mainly by Mrs. Quick’s son "Sven" and his Tongan wife "Kalolina" who have now also been involved in the operation since 1993. Due t"

"There is an abundance of white sand beaches and the swimming opportunities are excellent. Most beaches are protected by a coral reef which makes them unsuitable for swimming at low tide. There are no sandy swimming beaches in Nuku’alofa township. The best beaches on Tongatapu are to be found at ’Anahulu, Laulea, Oholei, Fua’a-motu, Monotapu, ’Utukehe, Fahina, Ha’atafu and Hufangalupe. On the islands of Ha’apai virtually all the beaches are exceptional. Vava’u has Ene’io, Keitahi, Toula, Talau fanga and the castaway island of Nuku. Conchologists rate Tongan shells as amongst the finest in the Pacific. there is a rich collection of almost all of the shells to be found in the Indo-Pacific area. The clear lagoons, colorful reefs and beaches of the Ha"

"Whale Discoveries was formed with the goal of promoting whale watching in Tonga as a means of conserving the South Pacific humpback whale, which came close to the brink of extinction following decades of whaling. Whale Discoveries is not exclusively a commercial venture; it is more importantly an opportunity for us to celebrate with others the gradual recovery of Tonga’s humpback whale population and to heighten awareness at the local, national and international levels of the value of preserving these magnificent creatures.

The name "Whale Discoveries" reflects our philosophy that the more we learn about whales the more there is to discover about these complex mammals. The name "Whale Discoveries" thus also serves as our reminder to maintain an attitude of "
