Whale Swimming Participants - THIS TOUR IS  FOR 'GOOD SNORKELLERS ONLY'! 


We Will Primarily ONLY Target Humpback Whales for this Tour. 


However If the weather conditions are not suitable, or visibility is low, the Backup Plan will be to look for Whalesharks and this is ONLY if we can't find suitable Whales.

 Being wild animals every day is unique and our focus is on humpback whales, but the visibility conditions and animal behaviours are not always just right enough to swim with humpback whales. We don't know until we get out there what will be accessible, how the whales behave or even if there is a whaleshark in the same area as a backup plan. What we do know is that we will have small groups, our plane and the best crew to get the best results possible on the day.

From June until October we are authorized to operate tours where guests may enter the water when the whales are relaxed, with a maximum group size of 7 swimmers plus a guide & Videographer in the water at the same time. While non-swimming guests observe the whales from the boat whilst manoeuvring as close as 75 meters! This is closer than any other whale watching cruise in Australia. This will give you a very special view for non-swimmers to enjoy the whales as they display their natural behaviours. 

FREE Video & Pictures of the day Included. We will copy these onto one 8Gb souvenir USB for your booking. Pictures and Video will be available at our shop in the Mall next to the bakery, after 9am the following day. If you are leaving early we can post the USB at the nominal postage charge for your home location.

The swimmers, with the careful watch of their guide, will slide into the water and approach the Humpback Whale. We have strict distance guidelines and safety is paramount in these very special encounters. Swimmers can approach as close as 30 meters from the whale which will provide an excellent surface view of the animals and allow the swimmers to hear their beautiful songs. The whales are curious and are allowed to approach us within 15 metres giving us a unique close encounter.  Our dedicated spotter plane pilot personally talks via radio, to the in-water guide to ensure a great interaction.

Before entering the water near a whale or whaleshark, swimmers will be required to take a morning quick in water swimming assessment as required by our license conditions. You must be physically fit, over 13years old, MUST be a good snorkeller and have snorkelled within the past 6 months to be eligible to enter the water with a whale.

We also include a come again at 1/2 priceGuarantee... If you don't get to experience an in water interaction with a Whale, Whaleshark or Manta Ray, you get 50% off the ticket price of your next Whale swim tour.
