Go swim with a humpback whale!
Enough of these critical posts! I’m going to redress the balance by sharing something wonderful.
Each year my wife and son and I try to find the time to go on a journey together and have at least one really extraordinary experience.
This year, we travelled to Tonga. Scott Portelli and the team at Swimming With Gentle Giants took us swimming in shallow tropical seas with humpback whales and their calves.
My own little digital camera, while waterproof, was about as clear as Mr Magoo, and it’s taken until now to see the beautiful stills and moving images captured by Scott, who moonlights as a professional underwater photographer when he’s not whale-guiding and being creative at a big Sydney agency.
Here’s a video that really captures what the experience was like. It cost us less than a ski holiday, and was far more memorable. I don’t know how long it will be possible to swim with whales in Tonga, and this is the only location in the world where it’s legal to do so.
So get in touch with Scott if you want to have an extraordinary experience of your own..
