Whale Watching:
From June through to
late October, the Humpback Whales are in our waters to mate and give birth to
their young. Vava'u is unique as a whalewatch centre as whales can be seen very
easily when out fishing or within the island group, often only minutes from the
inner harbour. When fishing, these whales are able to be seen during a normal
day - an added and impressive attraction.
If you just wanted to take a day off from fishing,
Kiwi Magic has been
associated with the Whale Watch industry in Vava’u, Kingdom of Tonga since 1991.
Keith, Skipper, of Kiwi Magic first became aware of the amazing Humpback Whales
when taking his first sport fishing charters back in the early 90’s. Over that
time, the Whale Watching industry has grown to the stage now where there are 10
companies offering Whale Watching in Vava’u.
Kiwi Magic management
has been actively involved in the growth of the industry and has worked with
international organizations such as I.F.A.W. and S.P.R.E.P. to assist with the
setting of guidelines which are recognized internationally.
Our company
specializes in small groups of up to six persons to give the optimum opportunity
of being able to swim with these amazing creatures. We also offer photographers
exclusive use of the vessel for their needs and can give references from
international photographers who have chartered with us.
