Dreams come true!

Every year from June to November, humpback whales of the Pacific Ocean come to the islands of Tonga to rest, acquire offspring and possibly find new friends. Humpback whales are among the most inquisitive mammals and actively interact with humans. We are given a unique opportunity to see how they live.

Whales have the largest brains and the largest hearts. They are masters of communication beyond words and speech patterns. They exhibit a clean and powerful flow of energy. No matter how hard we try to explain it, these are just attempts as it’s impossible to deliver the incomprehensible with words. The power remains in the heart and soul. Something that makes you drop social attitudes and look at what is happening with a clear vision. Once you feel this X-ray on yourself, you will no longer be able to live as you did.


Stepan conveyed a piece of this experience through video. Watch with headphones and full screen.
Why Tonga?
Highest Chance to Swim with Whales
This is one of the few places on the planet where, in addition to watching from a boat, you can dive into the water and watch whales in their natural habitat. The chances of interaction here are higher than in any other place. Of course, this is wild nature and no one can give any guarantees, "it's all about being fortunate.""
In the middle of nowhere
The Kingdom of Tonga is a small island nation located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean in Polynesia. The feeling that you have reached so far from civilisation has a powerful effect. This is a real adventure along the routes of grandfather Kusto.
Compliance with rules and following protocols
We choose Tonga because whales and their habitats are respected here. Swimming with whales is regulated by law. At the same time, a maximum of 5 people can be in the water and no more than 30 minutes with one whale. There are not a lot of boats and crowds of tourists.
"Spaceships with the highest level of consciousness. For millions years they have become unsurpassed masters of transmitting audio-visual images. If the receiver is tuned, then a good broadcast is ensured"
Stepan Artemev

"When you feel this look on yourself, so deep and full of intelligence - time stops. No doubts and questions remain!"
