It's Hammer Time...again
Beautiful weather and great conditions, teamed with surprise encounters and wonderful company, showed off Fiji at its finest and built lasting memories.
A Sharks Tale
Every kind of shark, mantas, pipefish, pygmy seahorses and some kicking current kept our guests on their toes in bountiful Bligh Waters!
Bula Vinaka & Isa Lei
Jemma and Scott, on their first voyage as NAI’A’s new Cruise Directors, saw 30 hammerheads, a black manta and Mellow Yellow at its best. Good start!
A Trip of Firsts
We loved feeling the excitement verging on disbelief of a whole charter of divers new to NAI’A experiencing our crazy magical undersea world!
The Old and the New!
Pilot whales, mating octopi, rogue hammerheads, an all-black manta and even a mystery pipehorse made for a trip to remember!
There’s No Place Like Home
Our stunning Fiji reefs welcomed us home after two months among whales in Tonga. There’s truly no place like home!
Turn Up the Heat (Runs)!
Last Tonga charter: super-interactive moms and calves, song so loud we could hear it above water and the hottest heat runs of the year!
An OverWHALEming Experience!
Multiple high-adrenalin bull runs, a gorgeous little calf playing peekaboo from under momma’s fluke and a mom-calf-escort trio noisily chit-chatting to each other
Wonders in the Whale Playground
Old babies, new babies and fierce competition to father next year's baby. The action heats up in the middle of the Tonga whale season.
Full Circle
Rowdy bull runs, hyperactive breaching babies, whale song you could FEEL, and an escort throwing its weight around, shared with Secret Sea Visions.
No Words!
The world's friendliest humpback, a dancing duo and a few proud mommas showing off their calves: words and photos don’t do this trip justice, but what memories!
Good Things Come to Those Who….Try, Try, TRY!
Among the great rewards on this charter: a 3 hour non-stop, multi-whale breaching display and a peaceful 90 minute mom and calf session of dreams!
Magic Moments!
That magic moment when you first make eye to eye contact with a 45' humpback whale will stay with you forever!
The Final Countdown
Our final trip before the Tonga humpback whale season produced quality time with our Fiji favorites: hammerheads, infinite barracuda and soft coral like nowhere else!

“We loved every minute of our time with you in Tonga! It could not have been any better. Each and every member of the NAI’A team was outstanding and each of you made our whale expedition unforgettable. The whales, the hospitality, the guides, the skiff driving, the dinners and the singing and kava… Everything was wonderful. It was the best honeymoon ever!”
