The Best Whale Tours in Niue 🐋 [2024]

Niue Blue – Whale Watching and Swimming Tour with Frequent Departures

Join Niue Blue for an educational whale-watching and swimming experience in Niue. Tours start with a presentation about humpback whales, learning about their behaviours and migratory patterns before you head out on the water to see these gentle giants for yourself.

The 3 to 4-hour tour starts with a coastal tour, keeping an eye out for whales and maybe dolphins along the way. You’ll also be briefed on how to swim with the whales, in order to protect these animals (and yourself) and adhere to the strict regulations surrounding whale swimming in Niue – see How to Get the Best Whale Swimming Experience in Niue to learn more.

Every interaction is different but if the whale’s behaviour is suitable, snorkellers have the opportunity to be just 20 m (65 ft) away in the water. Niue Blue also have a hydrophone speaker system, which provides the unique opportunity to listen to beautiful whale songs while onboard the boat.

Tours include all snorkelling gear, light snacks and water. See more of their tours in The Guide to Snorkelling in Niue.
