Swimming with Humpbacks

Go on a dynamic educational journey as we search undersea and in the air, following a team of marine biologists who find a pod of humpbacks to the South Pacific near the island of Tonga. Beginning with a mating ritual, we soon come upon a newborn and its mother. We see how the behaviour of the mother evolves as the calf gets older.

This is a truly immersive and goosebump-inducing close encounter with one of the largest and gentlest mammals on the planet!
