Best of Tonga's Whales - 2016 Pictorial
Alright, for the third straight year, we bring you the 2016 Best of Tonga Pictorial! We have combed through the hundreds of photos contributed by dozens of photographers from this whale-swimming season in Tonga to come up with the 30 best! We divided photos into several categories: breach, calf, surface activity, single whale, group of whales, mother & calf, snorkelers with whales and non-whale photos. We congratulate those who made the cut and commend those who didn't on a job well done - we know the competition was fierce.
Of course, it involved many difficult decisions, but here they are... THE BEST OF THE BEST!

“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!”
