'EUA ISLAND
We offer tours in one of the most beautiful and pristine waters around Tonga. 'Eua Island is located only 17.5km eastsoutheast from Tonga's main island, Tongatapu, and it’s the oldest of the Tongan islands. Situated at the southernmost point of Tonga, 'Eua Island has the longest whale season of the Kingdom, offering an extended and unparalleled opportunity to witness these magnificent giants in their natural habitat.
The Fleet
Auhia 'i Moana, Kiko's 32ft boat, tailored specifically for whale watching, showcases Tongan craftsmanship. Designed to accommodate a maximum of 8 guests, it features a raised deck at the front, providing an elevated platform for a panoramic view to spot whales. Built in Tonga, the boat reflects a blend of local expertise and quality construction. The vessel includes a sun shelter for added comfort during your whale-watching expedition as you embark on this unforgettable adventure.
