The entire trip, from beginning to end, was a truly incredible experience. Don's relaxed and welcoming presence made for an enjoyable day out on the water. The trip was very informative and gave us a great idea about the marine life around the islands as well as general history of Tonga! After a snorkeling at a few stunning spots and... More

We had an amazing day with Don, just my husband and I . He paced the day very well for us so we got to see a variety of Tongan underwater life.This was the best coral life we have seen and my husband having been bought up in Fiji was extremely impressed. Don was a consummate host and we loved... More

We had a wonderful day out seeing all the sights and under water magic. Lunch was simple but enough and in a beautiful spot. This was well planned as he avoided the crowds from other tours by going at the opposite time they would. Great value for a full day out.

My family & I went for a day's snorkel trip in Vavau with Don at the end of October 2012. This was by far the best day we spent in our two weeks in the Tongan Islands. We visited Swallows Cave, coral gardens and other numerous snorkel sites. My seven year old daughter got to help drive the boat on... More

We were in Vava'u at the end of the whale season (late October) and even though we got to see the whales with one of the whale operators Don's snorkel tour was the highlight of our trip. We had an excellent host (Don), snacks, lunch and plenty of water. Don also let us use his underwater camera and then made... More

A day with Don is just the best way to see what Vava'u is really all about. Our first day we went over to the east side and with Don's warm personality and knowledge we felt like we had a day specially for us. The water is of course warm, the islands are like those from a movie -golden sands... More

A days snorkeling with Don is like nothing else. His laid back but informative and fun attitude mix perfectly with the pristine reefs and coral gardens his tour guides you through. Don has a great sense of humor, top equipment and by far the best spots of any snorkeling operator in Vava'u. I would highly recommend booking with Don and... More

I highly recommend heading out around Vava'u with Don. He is a great guy with a heart of gold. I found the trip was really well set up to be unique for our group, as Don was flexible to the needs of our group. The snorkeling was like nothing I've ever seen before, with so much healthy coral - a... More
