Whale Waters Tonga is based on vegan principles, environmental sustainability, minimum impact, waste free, recycling and self sufficiency.
At this stage, Whale Waters Tonga is a concept, following the success of the Passeck family in remote Exmouth, the gateway to Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia. Axel & Eske started in 1997 the then 2nd hotel in Exmouth and were heavily involved in creating a world class eco-tourism industry, based around Whale Sharks, diving and natural attractions the region has to offer.
Over 20 years they created and operated the Sea Breeze Resort by converting a former US Chief Petty Officers Quarters, inside the Harold E Holt Naval Base. But their lease phased out in January 2018, ending their highly successful business.
In search of a new challenge they visited Tonga and immediately fell in love with the sheer beauty of Vava’u, it’s crystal clear waters, people and of course, the Humpback Whales! Axel has a special connection with Humpback Whales he developed during his 25 years of diving and 4 years running Humpback Whale Watching Tours in the Exmouth Gulf, skippering his own 12.5 metres dive charter cat.
