Yes! We welcome solo travellers for Amar retreats. One of Amar's values is for us to find our tribe around the world and what a better way to find friends on an adventure like this one!

Those travelling by themselves will be sharing a Fale with a fellow solo traveller.

No, we will be snorkelling with the whales.

For your own comfort, you can bring your own snorkelling gear but if you don't have any, everything will be provided on the trip.

It will be the tail-end of winter, it won't be that cold but pack some warm clothes just in case and definitely pack a windbreaker for the boat when whale swimming.

Movement and meditation will consists of yoga-based movements along with some breathwork and meditation. All sessions are beginner friendly and aimed to relax the mind and body after a morning of swimming. It is also optional. Mats are provided and a confirmed structured itinerary will be given before the tour.

Before the tour, a detailed trip bulletin and itinerary will be provided but here are some things you should bring: Beach towels (bath towels provided), toiletries, sunscreen, insect repellent, medications, hats, reef shoes. Mosquito nets are provided.

Main meals such as breakfast, lunch and dinner will be provided. Any snacks or drinks consumed otherwise will be charged and can be paid via credit card at the end of the trip. Vegetarian meals upon request subject to availability as it is a small island and not everything can be sourced.

You will arrive in Tongatapu International airport. From there, all transfers will be arranged for our whale swimming adventure!

These are wild animals so there is never a 100% guarantee. The tour does everything possible to maximise everyone's chances of swimming with whales which is why we have 5 days in the water!
