October humpback whales are mating and courting, calves are getting bigger and it’s a time to witness one of nature’s great events. Humpback males escort the mother and calves waiting for the opportunity to mate before heading back to the Antarctic waters to feed. The weather is getting warmer. Your day is filled with excitement and admiration only stopping to explore the coral gardens, caves and abundant marine life that inhabit Tonga.
