Sea bird colonies nest
on Eua's cliffs and the windy east coast is a good place to see
them. Soaring great frigate birds, with their distinctive pointed
wings and forked tails, are a impressive sight. There are two
white sandy beaches in Eua where you can swim. Ufilei Beach is
just north of Ohonua Towne and Tufuvai Beach is  approximately
a 5 minute walk from the Hideaway Resort. The safest place to
snorkel is in Ononua harbour, Ufilei Beach just 2 km north of
the wharf. |

of a lifetime. Some whales are so tame that they like to have
their noses scratched and they often poke their heads out of
the water to watch the whale watchers watching them.

that they like to have their noses scratched and they often
poke their heads out of the water to watch the whale watchers
watching them. Delight in watching the mama whales frolicking
with their new born calves. A breaching humpback whale is a
thrilling sight. This exciting behavior, which is sometimes
repeated many times may be a form of communication or a play
activity in young males. It is also thought that breaching of
the male whale occurs to show off their size. Your whale watching
