Home of Humpback - Niue Island

- Two years ago we got a call: "There is this island in the middle of the Pacific where whales are in their dozens, relaxed and respected. You can hear them blowing from your window!" Really? We did some online research, asked around, but were sceptical. Things very rarely end up the way you imagine them to be, especially in the ocean. But what if this time, they actually do?

I lived in the island 35 years ago and lived with and did free diving with Niueans. Even picked up,some of the language. At no time did anyone ever mention the whales. Have they always been there or have they been coming back over the past few decades? I saw many more of them in my homeland New Zealand, and zero in Niue. No one offered tours back then. There was almost zero scuba services and no one in the only thing vaguely resembling a dive shop mentioned them. The country was very raw and rugged. Very fond memories. Pretty shocked at the fees I just saw on line for the whale tours I just googled. Used to be you could buy some beers for a friend and they would take you out to catch tuna and wahoo on hand lines. Guess that’s “progress” 😅
This is new, since everything now is all starting to be commercialized. Good promotion though. Some locals watch whales from the shore like its not a big deal.
It truly is a fantastic spot - we were in Niue at the same time. The whales are amazing and to see them while you are having breakfast and hearing them at night was awesome.
Niue is simply a special place! We will never forget the experiences we had there!
Brilliant Peter! You're a genius, I really enjoyed meeting you in Niue and I hope our paths cross again one day.
Thank you so much! Niue really is a very special place and I will always carry my time there in my heart!
Amazing footage Peter! Great shots! Dived there in 2002, absolutely loved it, hoping one day to go back.
Thank you, Niue really is a very special place!
An absolute work of art sir! 👏👏👏
Thank you very much! For me, the time on Niue Island will always be a very special one that I will never forget! It was a great pleasure for me that we were able to spend this time together !!
Pls hire me 🙏
Such a lovely footage. Congrats team!!! ❤
thank you!
Congratulations, team, it's a magnificent piece of work.
Whales are beautiful creatures, maybe one day we will dive together and shoot together.
With love
Thank you very much! That would be great!
Stunning footage of what I can only imagine was absolutely awe inspiring experience. Thank you for sharing with us!
Thank you very much 🙏🏼
Wieder ziemlich geil,Peter. LoveIt
Vielen Dank! so ein fantastischer Ort macht es einem auch nicht besonders schwer 😉😂
Sehr geiles Video Peter 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Vielen Dank Oli 🙏🏼 Was ist dein nächstes Projekt?
Incredibly fascinating animals, and you have showcased them wonderfully. Once again, a very beautiful video.
thank you !
Takes my breath ...
Thank you. We are very pleased and grateful that we can share our experiences.
I read that because of the exposed location, it tends to be difficult to go out and see the whales, because strong wind can make it difficult to get the boat on the water and ofc swells and other factors. Can you share your experience with the weather and the practicality of the trip please?
It's actually very rare that you can't get out on the water. It's one of the easiest places in the world to find whales. They're usually within 500m of the coast.
For me there is no place on our beautiful earth to watch humpback whales! i love Niue 🫶🏼
wow
❤❤❤
Thank you so much Nadine !!
