Marine Life in Tonga
The whale migration path to the protected waters of the Vava'u Island Group between June and October allows them to give birth to their calves and to mate. The height of the whale watching season is from July to September. Eua and the Ha'apai group of islands are ideal for viewing. Tonga also has spectacular coral reefs that contain many colourful fish species such as clown fish and puffer fish.
