TONGA - Swimming with the Humpback Whale

[@terrismith9662]

She has every reason NOT to trust any human being......and yet, there she is, curious and kind, majestic and beautiful.

[@yeseniagarcia5809]

Wow beautiful words, exact emotions!!!

We get it, eco-edgelord #5bil56. humans are harmful, etc etc

[@jakeribraithwaite4023]

@My Name Is Daniel command not make poorly

[@khatarootube]

I'd give a kingdom to have that experience. How blessed you are to get that close.

[@pinkysunshine2423]

Thank you. All that baby calf knows is to love and shared that with you. God speaking as clearly as ever! Moved me to tears.

[@rowdy5453]

it doesn't even look like the humpback is in water it moves so free. damn what a great vid to watch as I'm tokin

[@joannewlands4438]

Thank you, Ollie! How wonderful that your dream to swim with the whales has come true. I think that the whales can somehow hear our hearts yearning to see them...So, I will keep believing that one day my dream will come true too!

[@jennifermay543]

🐋🐋This Mini Doco🐳makes my eyes water, bringing absolute 🐋joyfulness, happiness and awareness🐋. We as humans, need to make sure we protect the environment of our Oceans🐳, so we can see more clips like this one🐳🐳.

[@maris5888]

Oscars should go to films like that. Thank you.

[@kathybradbury]

I’m a wildlife artist and love all of nature...but have never had the opportunity to travel and experience the many marvels I get to see because of film and video. It truly is a blessing.

[@tyecurtis7228]

Thanks for such a wonderful video. A cowboy that will never see it in real life.

[@robinrouwen4580]

Wonderful, truely wonderful! With amazing relaxing music, I felt I was diving with the whales myself.... Thank you for sharing!

[@itBurns1390]

Just had my honeymoon there this past July - stayed at the same resort, swam with the same tour company, visited the same caves. I must say, you captured it all so beautifully. Great video!

[@jackielarkin1044]

You have inspired me to plan a trip to Tonga!! I want to swim with the whales.

[@alexanton9349]

Oh my... What an soul touching and amazing experience. Sometimes one forget what's to be alive until one see these breathtaking moments. Thanks for the video. 🐋😎👍✌

[@stephenberry1205]

Fabulous photography. Awesome Experience. We booked in November 2019 and finally realized our dream of a week swimming with humpbacks in September 2023, coming from Australia and Bulgaria. Heat Runs, Singers, Mother and Calf logging at surface, or diving out of sight to rise gently and be eyeballed by a calf within 2 metres. Spell binding. Mothers and calves large and tiny, with and without one or two escorts. Captivating ....

[@msi9209]

Goosebumps everytime hearing the beautiful sounds of the whales. 👌😍

[@xenenlighten7970]

That place looks like literal paradise

[@tomtalker2000]

Simply beautiful...!!! We MUST preserve this before it's gone. Because once it is that's it folks.

[@Manuel-hs7gw]

Amazing shots ! Such a beautiful world, such a biodiversity, such a wonderful nature and so many enchanting creatures. How can it be that among so many creatures that in no way do harm, must be one living being that causes so much suffering and must bring so many destruction ???

[@joannewlands4962]

Truly magical...to be able to swim with these gentle and majestic creatures, I would believe I was in Heaven amongst angels...how blessed you were to experience these lovely and trusting souls. Your video brings me to tears, and I feel the whales calling me, touching my heart- I am determined now more than ever to see these incredible whales just once in my lifetime. Thank you for sharing your remarkable video!

[@ollierayer9957]

I have felt their calling to come swim with them for over 5 years. And just recently, I have been given the gift to go to Tonga in August to experience this magical miracle to be in their presence. Keep your desire strong, and they will see to it you come swim with them. Trust!

Dear Ollie, we have whales here in Piura, Perú. But authorities say that it is prohibited to dive with them because their behaviour is different when they are mating.. It is an irony to travel to other country when they are near to me :'(

[@donnakawana]

@ well it is true whilst mating they are more dangerous. As they have one thing on their minds SEX.An you don't swim with a sea of horney males. The females have it hard enough an their size for each other. Then throw in a bunch of nosey well meaning humans an money hungry businessmen an yeah your government is at least smart....

[@deeanncommons8550]

Ballet dancers of the sea. Stunning!!!!!

[@emah9748]

Thanks for showing our beautiful 😍 Kingdom Vavau ❤️! Making me miss home so much ❤️

[@musicbox2466]

I wish me and my family could live with them underwater. I belong with creatures that mean no harm and live in unity and harmony. People are too much at this point, they attack those that are kind and respectful towards them and suffer those that mistreat them.

[@tomtalker2000]

I COULDN'T AGREE anymore with you remark. Well said...!!!

[@UKnowMeIMURDaddy]

Are you gay?

[@denmarknb2]

But they harm planktons who are minding their own business..

[@donnakawana]

The expression" to suffer a fool over kidness is an endless mistake.

[@donnakawana]

@@UKnowMeIMURDaddy are you....nope ur just rude?

[@user-re7eu9hq6r]

This is so beautiful! And the tears of love flow! Art, beauty and intelligence dancing with life!❤️🙏🏼🌻🕊🌍🐋🌈❤️

[@tinkerbellblue5142]

Most beautiful video ever 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@RealMargaridaVieira]

What a magical encounter 💫 I wasn't even there and seeing these whales being so friendly and still majestic, it makes me lung for the day I will be able to experience something like this. It makes you want to protect them from the dark side of humanity, the peace they exhale does not deserve to be lost. Thank you so much for sharing this moment 😌

[@littledebbie8107]

God bless you for sharing something i didnt know i needed. What a healing video! Cheers!

[@sarahpaulus8744]

Looks like an amazing experience!

[@travisgrant5608]

Stunning! Beautiful! WOW!

[@verdadesevaidades]

Thanks for this video. Amazing how shows the harmony these animals demonstrate among them and the ocean. We should learn some of that to be better beings in this blue planet. Who’s the intelligent specie ?

[@peterandalisajack3200]

such beautiful editing. I had this amazing experience in Tonga (Eua Island) last year and my heart is so full. I will never forget the trust and the love that I shared with the whales we encountered and it truly is an encounter that touches your soul in a very deep way.

[@ahmermirza]

the water is so so clear!!!

[@crazybutcool5150]

Looks beautiful. Amazing experience. Thanks for sharing!

[@dariuscoleman581]

This was perfect

[@greciagarcia8908]

Beautiful Breathtaking Experience! Such Gentle Creatures. 😍 I loved watching every minute of this video I want to travel to Tonga and break away from the routine!! Thank you SO much for sharing this wonderful moment! 😆

[@stephenberry1205]

Northern Tonga is superb.. September 2023 we chose Tonga Blue Lagoon - a family run whale watching resort for 8 guests, its own island & lagoon, down from Vava'u near the whales. Wonderful, hosts, whales and food... we loved it all. A friend from Bulgaria joined these two Aussies.

[@PhilipThurston]

Sounds unreal!!! 💙🐋

[@onewithnature1WN]

Awesome! Inspiring! I love all animals but there is something so special about humpback whales, I really want to see them in my life time, even just one time. It would be so awesome!

[@MrsMJfan1]

so beautifully shot and explained! I spent a week swimming with the whales this year and is such a life changing experience. We had some special time with a very curious calf and her Mum and escort and she too swum clumsily over to me again and again and again (It felt like I was her favourite!!) - Mum turned to me at one point and rolled on her back within inches of me and you are right, they are so situationally aware it is just amazing. No words can really explain but your video did great justice to the experience. Thank you.

[@christineMaccallum-uo3qx]

Nature is fabulous and fascinating facts and story ❤❤

[@catarinabatista2237]

This video made me so so so happy ! I’m so in love with Wales and the ocean! My dream is to be able to go and swim with wales one day Great video

[@julianandjoysadventures6944]

I'm going to Tonga! Paradise still exists

[@lillyt1mix]

[@donnakawana]

I agree with you.I've always loved the sea.an wish I had the $ to just once see them.... I'm on the adventure of homelessness so no whales for me just vicariously living thru your gift....thanks for making my life better that way....

[@wappynightnurse]

an absolutely brilliant video!

[@Jackie_blue_12]

Beautiful video.

[@pinkysunshine2423]

This will be my heaven ❤

[@inspiredlies]

Awesome video! I was wondering where you got your shirt from? I would love to support!

[@karenlumba5377]

we're planning to go at the end of july. is that a good time to see the humpbacks or is it too early in the season?

[@mike1884]

Beyond amazing.

[@ClioMako]

Great video!

[@arielgordon2522]

my love for these amazing whales is the world so curious friendly and loyal. By far in my opinion these creatures are by far my favourite ❤🐋 god bless these whales😊

[@psychedlicsouljam1995]

I cried it was so beautiful :') i came here because I was trying to get over my fear of the ocean. I've always loved nature but more recently I'm afraid of swimming in the ocean.

[@Grizzly420M]

i dont think their being nice i think there just chillin and dont give a fuck

[@beanster53]

Breath taking

[@margaretwise5434]

Outstanding place. Soon I will be there. I hope we meet one day there. 😁

[@scamela21]

Amazing just amazing...

[@raymondj8768]

Whales are pretty darn smart they can go werever they want and look were they hangout tonga Hawaii smart yes they are !!!!!

[@WyndhamCrest]

They're are so angelic!

[@belialuedke1880]

[@darakim8208]

[@matthewausburn543]

Beautiful video, just out of interest what company did u do the whale dives with?

[@katherenreizel4972]

Just plain WOW.

[@atharvasaudagar2039]

i love whales

[@alanagee6043]

Such sweethearts

[@mrwhite-zw7wr]

Very inspiring

[@UseADamnCoaster]

6:05 I swear it's like Dr. Evil and Mini Me lol full-sized shampoo and travel-sized 😂

[@FSEVENMAN]

Protecting a species means nothing if it's not enforced why we allow Japan to consistently kill these beautiful creatures is beyond me something needs to be done

[@donnakawana]

For years green peace an sea Shepherd has done so much risked life an limb its a sad shame

[@Manda11.11]

lovely video and awesome shirt want one !!

[@moped975]

Ich will ja gar nicht die Wale sehen, sondern nur den Typ, der mit ihnen schwimmt! Ich will hören, was er redet und ihm dabei zusehen! Kein einziger Wal kann so sprechen und mit dem Propellerflugzeug irgendwohin fliegen! Wie interessant!

[@ryansellars1875]

Mate I'd love to get some tips to go there myself for this experience. Let me know how I can get in touch better thanks!

[@psychedlicsouljam1995]

Whales: Elephants of the ocean

[@platelifter6151]

I saw like 30 whales diving out when I was a kid it was a beautiful experience like if I was in heaven

[@nostromo4269]

I’m just curious what other place you can swim with whales? Other than under water

[@marlineharrold1937]

Thanks. :D

[@sdaqtniftliyeva5645]

Interesting!!!👍👍👍👍

[@kingtigershark7197]

I love whales ❤️

[@expressmimi6631]

Oh wow

[@robertivey1227]

True ! She has every reason . But in my time with ocean creatures , they have always treated me with curiosity and affection . Go figure?

[@1264bells]

magic

[@jjsmama401]

If I had only one day left to live, I'd like to swim with these whales.

[@Only60GamesPlayed]

There is a video somewhere on here that showed a juvenile humpback in no doubt his/her first migration to wherever, and it swam too close to shore and beached itself...they were unable to get back into the water! I’m sure it died...broke my heart!! Whales are the true giants of the sea!!! We gotta figure out a way to keep those damn japanese from killing and eating them...might be the reason for their earthquakes!!!

[@jasonplayz2484]

MEOW MEOW IM A WHALE

[@umranlovato5875]

I think this is freaking scary

[@donnakawana]

Why is it scary? Do u think of jaws or some other movies ment to put fear of beauty in you. The world is a vast scary place. But the most deadliest creature is us. Humans are by far the most frightening things on earth!!!!!

[@AiMadeWithLove]

❤

[@elijahglasser1421]

perfect humpback whales

[@tarahaugo6522]

Wow

[@lapieuvreoptimale]

Next try swimming with whales on land

[@sandinyabumcrack]

👌

[@donderwalvis6772]

Now i can see the whales...

[@than217]

Really could have done without the commentary. Just wanna see the fucking whales.

[@vesnamartinec1428]

mother, dad send baby .. nice

[@jetty2415]

My parents are from Tonga and they never talk about the whales. I don't think our culture embraces them. That's weird 🤔

[@tongaboxing5376]
