"Greatest trip I've ever taken. I've taken a lot of great trips, but this is easily the best! I haven't stopped talking about it since I got back. I took a trip to Tahiti with a different operator and it was a disaster. I was really hesitant to try again - but I'm so glad I did. Tonga is truly a magical place and Lyle is the best guide I could have asked for. His love for Tonga, photography expertise and engaging personality kept me confident in and out of the water. I will be forever grateful to him for suggesting I give it another go."

"We waited six years for this trip, and a lifetime of dreaming about this incredible opportunity. Words cannot adequately describe being in the water as a Humpback mother and her weeks old calf gracefully approach you. We spent 35 hours on the water over five glorious days that will be forever etched in my soul. You absolutely must find the time and the means to do this trip with Lyle!

"Yes the trips are amazing, but Lyle is a great operator! He runs a very nice operation and is very thorough. His knowledge of the local areas is very helpful for our success. I am grateful for Lyle including me, these experiences are life changing!"

"I recently had the pleasure of participating in a trip led by Lyle. He was a very patient and thoughtful guide who gave 110% to keep everyone happy. I've participated in several photography trips and Lyle is one of the best guides I've worked with. He brings the best out of the trip and remains flexible in changing situations. I would gladly participate in another trip!"
