About This Experience
Hervey Bay is the mecca for exceptional whale watching experiences in Australia, but did you know you could get even closer with these gentle giants? That's right! Join this incredible whale watch and swim tour in Hervey Bay for a chance to slip into the waters and share the space with the majestic Humpback Whales!
Cruise to the Great Sandy Marine Park aboard the ‘MV Arcadia‘, a purpose-built whale watching vessel. Once a whale is spotted, you’ll cruise to its location and stay within a 100m distance – then you wait for the whales to come close to you!
We encourage our swimmers to use snorkel gear for their swim as the whales don’t like bubbles. You can get as close as you like to the whales, holding on to the 20m mermaid line attached to the stern of the boat . The sheer size and grace of the whale up close is truly a sight to behold – you might find yourself eye-to-eye with a curious whale!
Swimming with the whales in Hervey Bay is dependent on whale behaviour and sea conditions. Even if a swim isn’t possible, you’ll still enjoy one of Australia’s most spectacular whale encounters – no wonder why Hervey Bay is a popular whale watching hotspot.
The tour includes lunch, morning tea and afternoon tea to keep you energised throughout your on-water adventure.
So, don’t wait up! Cross off that ‘swim with a whale’ off your bucket-list today! Book now!
