Why you HAVE TO visit Tonga! Travel Vlog
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лип 2024
- I traveled 36 hours to the South Pacific and ended up on one of the islands of the Kingdom of Tonga - Vava'u. From there it was easy to enjoy the blue ass water and explore the deserted islands all around. But why you have to visit is to swim with humpback whales! It was a bucket list trip and one of the most amazing experiences! Join me in exploring the island of Vava'u and then out to sea in order to search for whales and the chance to swim with them!
I give you tips and insights of what to know about Tonga and what you can expect from being on Vava'u and taking on this bucket list adventure.

Hey I'm from India
I love this place ❤❤
Omg I’m from Tahiti and you’ve made me want to go to Tonga!!!!!❤️❤️❤️
I'm all the way from Kenya, and in love with Tonga, seeing it in your videos makes me feel like I'm there with you seeing all these beautiful sceneries.
Tonga is such an incredible place! I've always wondered about writing a small story with Polynesian characters, and information is pretty limited. But it's fun and I learn a lot!
That's fantastic, all the best with that. Sounds like a very interesting project :)
Life by Linda Thanks! It hasn't been easy with Google's lack of details. If I knew anyone willing to help with my project, that'd be great!
@@TheNerdyKiwi Hi how are you
You have the same silly grin we wore for our week last month at Tonga Blue Lagoon resort.
8 guests, 4 fales, 2 boats - wonderful hosts, food and our own island.
Swimming with Humpbacks in Tonga - so awesome.
6 hours a day on the water was peppered with diverse whale experiences each day.
3 Heat Runs with males chasing a single female - we swum with 2 of these on our first day.
Males hanging vertically motionless just below the surface singing.
Mothers and calves - logging at the surface so we could just hang out with them.
Calves surfacing & driving followed by mum and sometimes one or two male escorts.
One calf came up from the depths within 2 metres of me, eyeballing me as it went past.
Also saw 4 breaches - one 30 metres from the boat.
The tenderness of mum and calf is so delightful, and they are very tactile.
We had booked this in November 2019 - 2 from Australia plus a friend from Bulgaria...
Still wearing silly grins and now devouring every You Tube video with humpback swims.
We bought T shirts with humpbacks - "LIFE IS A BREACH..... AND THEN YOU DIVE.."
Your video is so beautiful! Thank you for showcasing our lovely island the way you did. Blessings
Wow..tonga is so peaceful. Will definitely visit this beautiful place.
Amazing video , thank you so much for sharing that with us ! The baby whale at 7'30 is so cute ! Love it !
Yes, it was so cute!! You could see it from the boat, trying to imitate the grown ups... really sweet
Awesome Info. 2023 let’s go!!
Thank you for sharing this video, makes me so proud to be from Vava'u!
It's a beautiful home you have, you should be proud :) I can't wait to visit again

I didn't know about Tonga before. Such a beautiful place it is. Also the rainbow raising from the deep blue ocean. Simply breathtaking. Best of luck for your future adventures. Take love from Bangladesh
I didn't either until earlier this year and it's spectacular! Thank you so much for watching and I'm glad I got to share this beautiful place :)
great video, incredible footage! what an experience :)
Thanks so much! It really was - I can highly recommend it, just alone for the color of that water :)
I became interested in Tonga i believe was America's Most Wanted found a tech kid hiding out here. If not than it was another reason.
You were fortunate to go. Have fun and success

Life by Linda Binge watched your all videos for nearly 2 hours now haha
@@dikshyachapagain5442 ah yay :) glad you enjoy them, thanks so much 💙
Malo 'aupito for showing our country, as someone who grew up as a Tongan in Australia and grew up constantly visiting Tonga every year, made me want to show the world how pretty our islands can be... we really do be underrated sometimes...
I agree, such a beautiful spot in the world you can call home :)
__________________________ Everyone I've met has never heard of Tonga. I've always wondered what it's like over there.
@@TheNerdyKiwi it's a great place. I go every year and it's full of humble people and kind locals, they still has the culture thriving there too, and most islands there have great tourist places to visit like Pangaimotu and 'Eua. I know people don't usually know what Tonga is but I like to call it a secret treasure
__________________________ That's so cool! It's a dream of mine to travel outside the U.S. to places like Samoa or Tonga in the future.
__________________________ Oh yeah, another dream of mine is to make a comic, with two main characters who are Tongan/Samoan. I try to write them as people, making them relatable and fun characters! However, it's been a bit hard finding resources on how to write Polynesian characters. I'm probably being too hard on myself, but I want to give some positive representation. :0
I think it’s Tonga time.
I’ve been to Fiji Tonga and Hawaii and it was the best!
Fantastic! I definitely have to explore more of the Pacific. Hawaii is on the list for sure!
Love this video did you capture that on a go pro ? Would defs try this one day for sure!
I am Egyptian and I will come to Tonga. I love Tonga and girls. Tonga will welcome me or not
you can go to Tonga anytime, Local people are friendly
هتروح تونجا ؟؟؟

N its so True.Tonga keep the Sabbath day Holy.The Day of Thanksgiving n Praise God ,The day of preparing a good food ,Go church, come back enjoy the food that have been prepared n rest. Thank s for visit Tonga.
@@lataifaleofa9998 are you tongan?????
@@mostafamax2081 😂👍
Beautiful
Glad you mentioned the trash on the beach. It is common for a build up of sand trash to occur after storms that wash ocean trash onto the beaches. AND some trash is from lazy individuals who have yet to learn. Enjoyed your video.
Thanks for sharing that! That's why it's super important for us to each do our part and be mindful of our waste x
Well! It’s now has erupted!🌋
Have you never seen Mascara's goal in Tonga?
Greetings from India. Please do visit us. Andaman islands are just as beautiful as Tonga
Been there, done that.
Omg so incredible!!!
It really is! Needs to be on your travel list too ;)
This video is the best ! Love whales !!
I know, right?! They're amazing
What impressions!!! Wow! What’s the name of that little island you spent in that charming hood? And what’s the name of this „resort“ please? Regards from Hamburg, Germany 🇩🇪
Gosh.. My family is tongan, and I just found out that i'm actually from vava'u~
(edit; a little story my mom told me)
she said that she always went swimming in the blue waters with the chrome white sand. And it was amazing!! I then asked, "what was your reaction when you came to the new zealand beach?" (where we live)
"horrible... But as we came to the beaches often, I got used to the dark seaweeds lurking about."
me: xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD (but sad that tongs beaches were way better..)
I also live in new zealand
im tongan and my dad was born in vavaau
I want your account on Facebook
Vavau is the beautiful place to spend holiday on it 🥰
It really is :) absolutely worth the journey there
I wish I was there😭
What is the name of this resort in Tonga.?
Can you comment with the name of the company you booked your whale adventures with or a link to their website?
Hi! I actually went with an inclusive photography expedition - fantastic group and great expedition leader (www.scottdavisimages.com/services#photoquest )
Dale like si lo ves en Enero del 2022 despues de la erupcion. Like if you see it in January 2022 after the eruption.
Video 2020 no comment past.
Listen Linda...
Hahaha
My moms side is Tongan and I’m from Nuku’alofa
I'm so jealous!
It's definitely worth a visit :)
That looks amazing! What's the name of the resort where you stayed?
It was absolutely stunning! I actually didn't book a resort directly but booked a photography expedition here ( www.scottdavisimages.com/services#photoquest )
@@lifebylinda OMG this is really expensive.Over 9.000 $ and more. Did you really pay so much for 9 days? 😱
@@myworIdofexperience For the first time in my travels I did it the most expensive way since it was a specific photography expedition, but there are plenty of options to do it for much less than this if it's on your list as well :)
@@lifebylinda maybe not at time. Because on the website I only saw the expensive experience.
@@myworIdofexperience ah ok, yes that site will only have the same trip I did. The cheapest way of doing it will be to book a hotel on the island and then multiple day trips with one of the tour companies there
I came here because I wanted to see the beautiful island before the earthquake and tsunami
I hear the surfs is meant to be pretty good in 2022...
All countries pray for Tonga people's 🙏🙏
أريد أسافر شلون أحصل على الفيزا من يعرف
Is it Tonga Time? I think its tonga time
WOW! Sold your house so you can make the trip. Hope you enjoyed every second of it.
Damn, being rich sounds awesome
Is it Tonga time?
I think it’s Tonga time
In Tongan
Hi how are you
Tonga, pensei que era uma mulher boba... Mas é um país também
Hi
Tonga is better for job ,can u plz guide me.
My cousin hated going to Tonga & he's Tongan
Was he born and raised outside the islands? Which would explain a lot if so. A lot of Tongans that are born and raised outside the islands that feel the same way like your cousin does is usually because they're not used to the living arrangements and conditions there.
How is this country related to Tonga people of southern Africa?
Its not, two different places & people
Very different people's
Fifth harmony’s member Dinah Jane is Tongan y think
She is
I am a tongan
That's great, welcome :) such a beautiful home you have
I want your account on Facebook
Thought it said tenga
A ena ia 😂😂😂😂
You were close on the pronunciation, it is pronounced "vahvah oo"
I got to Samoa OMG so beautifull its crazy
Right?! I definitely need to explore these remote islands a bit more in the coming years
Arraial do Cabo Buzios e Ilha Grande no Brasil são muito melhores
Im so sorry but you guys hit a tsunami!😭
Malo MMT
RIP tonga due to global warming
Very good. Thank You. .....to much Your Person ....sorry.
Tonga? You mean China's latest colony?
you are beautiful ♥️
Now it has become why we shouldn't visit tonga
Surrounded by ass water?

RAM NARAYAN RAM
Chant this Mahamantra irrespective of your religion-nationality-caste and colour. This mantra is not originated from a particular religion(so-called). It is a concentrated form of the universal tune. Neither this RAM represents the Ram of the Ramayana, nor this NARAYAN represents the Narayanan of Satya Yuga. This RAM is the echo of the endless void and this NARAYAN is the echo of the visible world.
The human race has advanced a lot in terms of agriculture, science, technology, medicine, astronomy etc. But when it comes to humanity, then we see that the trend line has almost touched the bottom limit.
Our true self has been covered with our bad deeds and ill thoughts. Because we have gone far from the tune of our conscience and nature. We are drowned in the dark ocean of ignorance. We have to lit the fire of knowledge up. For that we have to generate heat. Sound energy can be transferred to heat energy.
By repetitive chanting of the Mantra heat is generated. That will wipe out that darkness of ignorance from within. We are nurturing our body with food but we are not nurturing our consciousness. To nurture our consciousness we have to feed it with Dhwani(sound). That is RAM NARAYAN RAM. At the time of chanting you have to put Omkar - RAM(O) NARAYAN(O) RAM.
What ever you do, where ever you are, what ever your belief may be, which ever deity you worship, that doesn't matter. Just go chanting this MAHANAM (great name). That will help your conscience to abloom and guide you perspicuously. When you will follow the directives of your conscience, then you will commit no sinful act. If each and everyone becomes conscientious then there will be no need of any spiritual leader or preceptor to preach what to do and what not. Then the tune of the whole human race will be at par with that of nature. Then the world will become the heaven itself.
🔱RAM NARAYAN RAM🔱
Nice vid, what program do you use to make your vid @lifebylinda
Wow
