"I am so beyond stoked that we booked our tour with MWE. Right from the very beginning Sarah, Carmen and Matt were just outstanding hosts. I could tell right away from the initial emails these guys were 100% who I wanted to book with. Ha'apai was just beautiful, the accommodation at Sandy Beach Resort just amazing,.. . and of course the whales.. . just incredible. After getting out of the boat after our first humpback swim I remember thinking that just that one swim was worth it all "

QUESTIONS

be on the boat for usually about 6 hours each day -What else is there to do when i'm not whale swimming? Kayak, snorkel, lay on hammocks reading books, horse riding, bike riding -What are our chances swimming with whales? They are wild animals so we can never give 100% guarantee but we do everything possible to maximise the chance of swimming with them. We do 5 days on the water for this reason. We can say that so far we have never taken a tour that hasn't swam with the whales and some even swim on all 5 days. So the chances are high. I have dietary requests, can these be catered for? Yes of course, just let us know upon booking
