About Us

Escape to Paradise: Your Eco Retreat Awaits

Sea Change Eco Retreat is based in the outer islands of Ha’apai, Tonga. We are located on the small island of Uoleva, which can only be reached by boat. To get here you fly to the main island of Tongatapu from either Auckland, Sydney or Fiji. From the main island, you take a short flight to Ha’apai, and we pick you up at the local airport. After a beautiful 15-minute boat ride you will arrive on our beach and begin your life-changing holiday. Sea Change is completely off the grid, with solar for power and treated rainwater for drinking. We provide all the creature comforts – with fantastic beds, amazing food, and hot water showers in your private bathroom.

We offer life-changing encounters with humpback whales during the months of July to early October. We also offer charter fishing packages in the months of May and June. Please watch our short overview video below to get a better idea of what Sea Change is all about! Please note we are only open for adults and children 12 and over.

Dear Guests,

Welcome to our small remote island paradise!

We are delighted to have you join us in this tranquil haven we have created, where the azure waters meet golden sands and the gentle breeze whispers through the coconut palms. Here, you will find a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, which in this day and age, we believe is desperately needed.

We have curated every aspect of this retreat to ensure your utmost relaxation and enjoyment. Explore the pristine beaches, swim into the coral reefs, or simply unwind in a hammock under the shade of a coconut tree. Each day here is a celebration of nature's beauty and your well-being.

As your hosts, we are committed to making your stay memorable. Whether you desire an adventurous excursion or a peaceful afternoon, we are here to assist and guide you. Our island offers a variety of activities and experiences, from snorkeling and hiking to stargazing and, of course, swimming with whales.

Let the island's charm envelop you, and may your time here be filled with joy, peace, and unforgettable moments. We hope you, too, come and have a Sea Change.

We look forward to hearing from you.
Maria and Clint
