Swim with Whales

Join us and experience one of Australia's most extraordinary wildlife encounters with our Swim with Whales adventure in the pristine waters of Jervis Bay.

Bookings open soon
The whales decide

Our crew watches for the right whale behaviour and the right conditions before anyone enters the water. These are wild animals in open water, on their terms, and that is what makes it worth doing. There is also a package for guests who would rather stay on board.

What happens out there

Wild animals, on their terms

Join our experienced crew as we search for migrating Humpback whales along the stunning South Coast. Once suitable whale behaviour and conditions are observed, guests may have the opportunity to enter the water and witness these magnificent giants from a respectful and environmentally responsible distance.

This intimate experience offers a rare chance to connect with nature in a truly unforgettable way. In addition to whales, you may encounter dolphins, seals and a variety of marine life that call Jervis Bay home.

Three ways to join

Choose your package

Every price is per person. Because the swim depends on the whales, there is a package for guests who would rather stay out of the water and still be there for it.
