Tonga and the Dominican Republic have legal swim with whales programs.
You can also swim in the areas around Tahiti.
Anywhere else it is ILLEGAL to swim with Humpbacks. Also unsafe.

totally understand your point of view. i limit swims and swimmers. last year due to the very small number of whales in the area we pulled our boat completely. we do whale counts involving all yacht people, villagers, whale swim boats and tourists as part of an education program for the children of tonga. immersion is a way to learn about a culture or a species. not all swim operators in countries where it is legal to swim are safe enough for the people or the whales. some operators are very good

Absolutely illegal to swim with humpback whales in the USA and Australia. I DO NOT do it period where it is illegal.
However there are 3 places in the world where it is legal to swim with humpbacks with varying laws/ rules.
These whales were filmed in tonga where up to four people can enter the water ONLY if accompanied by a trained guide (I am trained and certified, also hire a tongan guide who is operating under a permit). The boat/ company must have a whale swim license (permit). No BS

I'm surprised you guys get that close to them, aren't these the whales that like to jump in the air and slam back in the water, whale crashing down on you would murder you instantly.

@wannabethug7 I am so lucky the whales are amazing gymnasts that never land on me or my boat. HOWEVER i RESPECT the whales and NEVER HARASS them! Very important. I spend much more time not getting in with whales than getting in. I am a proffesional and only swim in perfect conditions including legally, safely and non harassing.
Whales HAVE LANDED ON PEOPLE and boats. REMAIN A SAFE DISTANCE AWAY FROM WHALES
