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 swim is never guaranteed.

These are wild whales in open water. We enter only when their behaviour and the conditions allow it, and there is a package for anyone 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.
