Tongan Beauties and a Mermaid's Garden

While the sparkly sapphire waters of Tonga are remarkable, so are the rainbows, the botanicals and the singing whales. Being on the ocean, weaving between the swirling winds, waves, and islands of Vava'u to swim with the largest creatures on the planet was an adventure. I shared this journey with mermaids and mermen from Singapore, Japan and the United States.

There are many beautiful flowers in Tonga that caught my eye. 

 On our last day in the ocean, we visited a coral garden that was stunning. As we dove down deep, we could hear the whales singing in the distance, it was dreamy. The greatest medicine of being near or on large bodies of water is observing and participating in the magic of nature.
