Special, Limited-Capacity, Photographer-led Humpack Whale Charter in Tonga
Sep 10-20, 2010
Interested in the best possible photo opportunities for humpback whales? Consider joining our special limited-load charter in Tonga, from Sept. 10-20, 2010. This trip will be unique in that it is a photographer-led charter limited to 12 people. The idea behind a limited load trip is simple. Fewer people means more opportunities to swim with and photograph humpback whales for those who participate. What makes the Naia the perfect platform for this kind of trip is the ability to put a radio-equipped crew in the crow's nest 50 feet above the sea, and deploy both zodiacs as needed to spot in different directions. Guests will have the choice to get on one of the zodiacs or relax on the big boat. Once cooperative whales are sighted it's time to swim and we will rotate small groups in and out of the water. While one boat is with whales the others can continue spotting.
The photographers chartering the boat are Douglas Hoffman and Mark Strickland. Douglas has been leading whale trips for 5 years, offers photography workshops, and is the director of a non-profit group organization called Art For Good Cause. Mark also has significant marine mammal experience, is widely published, and is known for leading dive groups to Thailand and Indonesia that include u/w photography workshops. Douglas and Mark will be providing free photo advice throughout the trip and will also offer several evening presentations. For more information, please contact Douglas at dhimages@maui.net, website: www.douglasjhoffman.com or Mark at markstrickland@verizon.net, website: www.oceanic-impressions.com
