鯨尾｜生命的延續 鯨媽媽從南極千里長游到此處生產，並停留近一年哺育鯨寶寶。 還記得嗎？我提過在東加很幸運遇到全球最大的動物保育協會主席。 在我們的東加旅程最後一天，他們夫妻倆和我們分享他們正在努力的其中一件事情；他們說全世界大部分的動物都備受關注和保育，而鯨魚的保育並沒有太多人投入或是進行；我當時想海洋生物這真的不容易；而他們剛設立並投入資金建立了鯨魚的全球追蹤系統，透過鯨魚尾巴的資料上傳圖片建立，能為此鯨魚命名，鯨魚尾巴就像是鯨魚的身分證獨一無二，未來專業人士也會在鯨魚身上建立衛星定位追蹤系統。 還有聊到鯨魚的主要食物，正被漁船大量撈捕，鯨魚的體型很明顯的縮小，有可能因此沒有足夠的體力進行遠行&哺育小鯨。 等我瞭解更多詳細資訊，我會好好分享相關資訊， 謝謝為大翅鯨努力的偉大人士。 #大翅鯨 #母子鯨 #東加王國 #vavautonga #vavau

Join us in celebrating the majestic giants of the ocean this World Whale Day! Let’s honor these incredible creatures and work together to ensure their protection and conservation for generations to come. Whales are essential inhabitants of our oceans, playing crucial roles in marine ecosystems. As the largest mammals on Earth, they help regulate the food chain by consuming large quantities of plankton and fish, and their nutrient-rich waste supports the productivity of marine environments. Additionally, whale migrations transport nutrients across vast distances, contributing to the health of ocean ecosystems worldwide. However, whales face numerous threats, including habitat destruction, pollution, climate change, and entanglement in fishing gear. Commercial whaling, although significantly reduced in recent decades, still poses a risk to certain whale populations. Learn more and swim with these magnificent, magical mammals on an 8 day retreat with us in Tonga. Head to our website and or send us a message to find out more. #whaleday #worldwhaleday #whale #whales #whaleshark #whalesharks #whalewatch #whaletail #whalelife #swimwithwhales #divewithwhales #dive #oceandiving #freediving #freediver #freedivers #freedive #oceanphotography #photography #whalephotos #jonoallenphotography #photographer #tonga #vavautonga #whalestonga #conservationphotography #conservation #oceanlover

While on my cruise when I went to Vava'u I was surprised to see so many dogs around the island is so small apparently people's dogs will just wander around and still wouldn't be fair from their homes, I did get a few photos of them, but this is definitely a favourite. #dog #animalphotography #vavautonga #travel

We come to Vava’u for the whales, and fall in love with its caves at the same time! • As well as stunning underwater scenery, the caves are often home to fascinating creatures…..such microbats, mudskippers, and various colourful reef fish. • During your tour with us, our professional photographer can help mentor your photography, and our marine biologist will be stoked to discuss all things critter-related!! • Photo by @scott.portelli in #vavau • #tonga #caves #underwatercave #underwaterphotographers #underwaterphotography #uwp #uwphotography #uwwideangle #vavautonga #swallowscave #naturallight #travelphotography #ocean
東加碎片/ 燕子洞 #swallocave 位於Kava Island 因其洞穴內棲息大量的燕子而著名， 洞內覆蓋著天然的鐘乳石， 靠近洞穴附近的海域清澈見底， 洞口附近的生態也非常豐富，魚群不少。 而這裡最好拍的，就是潛進洞口內， 由攝影師由內往外逆光捕捉的剪影。 顏色真的是渾然天成的透藍～💙 啊⋯沒試過無蹼的我 也在這裡試了一次🤣 真的是⋯必須要多練練 圖/影片債 看來要發到明年了 想念東加的天氣跟🐋 📸by @owenyen0911113333 #AvatarTheWayofWater #AVATAR #heatrun #WhaleInTonga #HumpbackWhale #NewZealand #KingdomOfTonga #手寫機票 #比蘭嶼更蘭嶼 #國外必去潛點 #東加王國 #東加潛水 #東加潛旅 #大翅鯨 #auckland #swalloscave #vavau #vavautonga #tonga #crazywhale #freedive #freediving #tulkun

The fin of humpback whale is longer than my height 東加海水溫度約25度，即使外面出太陽船上風吹很冷，如果天氣不好風浪超大，還可能遇到船無法出海的情況，會暈船&怕冷的建議要帶暈船藥跟船潛外套。這邊為了避免打擾鯨魚生態，每次下海只能4位+一位在旁邊確認狀況的嚮導。感謝 @candywang7446 側錄我們追鯨日常，被海浪瘋狂洗臉的影片(每個妹子都尖叫跟笑 🤣)，當天我還從船邊滾下來，又被朋友們幫忙拉回船邊等下水，根本顧不上有沒有烏青，船長如果把我們丟到好的下水點，還會自己拍手鼓掌，有夠high的 📸: @bolin0519 📹: @candywang7446 #tonga #vavau #diver #freediver #freediving #freedivingphotography #underwaterphotography #onebreath #freedive #自由潛水 #uwphotography #travelphotography #潛旅 #divinglife #divingphoto #divingtrip #humpbackwhale #大翅鯨 #humpbackwhales #tonga🇹🇴 #vavautonga #whale #whales #鯨 #naturephotography #whaleswim #whalewatching #nationalgeographic #swimmingwithgentlegiants #kingdomoftonga

從東加回來後，看到照片的親友， 除了被問不覺得很可怕嗎？ 最常問的還有： 你有沒有偷摸牠一下～？ （是不是會被罰錢啊～～等等） 1. 完全不可怕，我們的第一天出船， 不過才剛離開岸邊20-30分鐘，就看到一隻鯨魚 在海面上噴氣，心情是很興奮、很壯觀、很感動、很期待！ 下海之後～除了要應對浪況不穩、時不時的呼吸管進水，更多時候，是忙著要跟上他們的速度，當看到媽媽跟寶寶鯨，真的在海裡很想流眼淚🥹 那是一種～美夢成真，夢幻到很不真實的感覺，牠們是海洋中最溫柔的巨人。 2. 完全沒有，照片中～仔細看～是有距離的好嗎！ 只是恰巧這個角度，這個畫面～看起來超像是牽手手！ 試問：今天如果是你，悠閒的走在路上，隨便有個路人經過就刻意摸你一下、搭你的肩，你覺得～如何呢？ 又或者像你帶著小孩出門，也不會希望別人：哇～好可愛喔！！（手戳臉、摸頭～～），當下就髒話都飆出來了吧！ 別人的話，我是不知道，但學了自潛以來，不論是海龜或是任何生物，從來都沒想過要特別去碰觸，如果今天他們是可以溝通的生物，禮貌上～當然可以詢問：但可惜是～沒有習得海下生物溝通語言啊！ 其實🐋感知能力是超強的～會自己很巧妙的閃過你！ 對於任何一種物種，都予以適當的距離，是對他們也是對大自然的尊重，我們身為人，自然會對萬物都有好奇心，但且止於觀賞、欣賞，能有東加這個天然環境在一定規範下接近他們，真的已經是一件非常幸運且夢想成真的事情！ 也很希望，未來有機會到這裡的每一個人，都能有這樣的尊重與禮貌，讓這一件美好的事情，可以一直一直地維持下去 剩下我們能做的，就是少用塑膠袋、多做環保了吧！ 圖一： 📸by @owenyen0911113333 圖二： 是超級遠～但也有拍到的Heat Run~ Retouch by MiLki PS. 海下與大翅鯨的照片影片已經差不多要告一段落了啦～ 嘿嘿，還有陸地上的沒發呢～～哈哈哈哈哈 #AvatarTheWayofWater #AVATAR #heatrun #WhaleInTonga #HumpbackWhale #NewZealand #KingdomOfTonga #手寫機票 #比蘭嶼更蘭嶼 #國外必去潛點 #東加王國 #東加潛水 #東加潛旅 #大翅鯨 #auckland #swalloscave #vavau #vavautonga #tonga #crazywhale #freedive #freediving #tulkun

There’s so much peace and tranquility being present in nature. Not only being in nature, being present with animals in their own habitat. 🐋 First photo is of the heat run. We counted 16 males swimming after 1 female. All of them were competing for her attention. Second photo is of me capturing the beauty of a humpback calf. The absolute cutest and most playful calf who would twirl around us and show off his beautiful personality. Photos by the amazing: @katherineluphotography

If you dream big, your dreams might become a reality. But if you live big, then your reality might feel like a dream. I have been living big for a while now and could not be happier. #tonga #vavau #vavautonga #swimmingwithwhales #humpbackwhales🐋 #humpbackwhales #justgo #gosomewhere
小牛：來呀！我有媽媽當靠山 龐大的鯨魚媽媽，把她的翅膀張開，小牛就乖乖的窩在下方，頓時讓我覺得這小牛的靠山好威😈 我們的確不太敢在向前， 而下一秒！ 大翅鯨媽媽就朝我們游動， 我們馬上轉身向左向右跑😅 #2024東加追鯨報名中 #喬飛潛旅團 #jovifs #東加 #東加王國 #tonga #whale #whalelove #大翅鯨 #humpback #Humpbackwhale #vavau #vavautonga #東加追鯨 #自由潛水 #freedive #freediving
Living out my dreams in Vava’u, Tonga. 4 years ago I messaged @cassie.jensen.photography about this trip and here I am with an amazing group of friends on a trip that is beyond what I dreamed it could be. #vavau #vavautonga #tonga #swimmingwithwhales #humpbackwhale #justgo #gosomewhere
Photo Credit: @lisaskeltonphotography Going in for the kiss! Check out all the whale lice around the lips of this guy… yuck! These tiny crustaceans feed on dead skin and are spread through bodily contact. A huge thanks to @swimmingwithgentlegiants @scott.portelli and @grantthomasphotography for an amazing week. #whale #whalewatching #underwaterphotography #wildlife #igs_oceania #yourshotphotographer #canonaustralia #ig_naturelovers #ig_nature #animal #humpback #nature #travel #ikelite #swimwithwhales #underwater #diving #tonga #kingdomoftonga #vavautonga #humpbackwhale #marinelife #vavau #naturephotography #underwater_world_ #canonchallenge #spotmydive #snorkelling #ocean #whalesofinstagram
