Twelve months of Cookson Adventures

B LOWHOL E S Search for the whistling blowholes on Tongatapu which burst from coral reefs up to 18-metres into the air. This spectacle happens when volcanic rock allows water to forcefully blow through its crevasses and create a plume-like effect. D I V I NG With stunning reef systems, shipwrecks, drop-offs, chimneys and underwater caves, diving in Tonga is a spectacular experience. WAT E R S POR T S If you’re visiting Tonga by yacht, you can enjoy a multitude of tenders and toys in its crystal-clear waters. We will find the perfect yacht for you to ensure days filled with entertainment. CORA L R E E F S Animated with activity, the coral reefs in Tonga are teeming with fluorescent fish, inspecting the nooks and crannies of the bright soft and hard coral gardens. HUMPBACK WHA L E S This is the best time of year to view visiting humpback whales and their newborn calves. Despite being known to grow to the size of a school bus, these creatures can perform almost acrobatic moves, leaping out of the water and splashing back down with force. LOCA L MARK E T S & A COOK I NG E XP E R I ENCE Wander through the fresh produce markets and pick your ingredients for an afternoon cooking lesson.
