Whale Swim and Watch

Hervey Bay, Queensland

Hervey Bay Dive Centre operates the regions only dedicated whale swim experience between July and October. This exclusive experience is an incredibly special opportunity to watch and swim with one of nature's most majestic mammals, the Humpback whale, a curious, gentle and trusting creature. Guest numbers are strictly limited (maximum 24) making for a personal and fun day on the water. Each sighting is different and every whale swim unique and personal. People that have swam with whales often describe the experience as "life changing". Swimming with the whales is conditions dependant and they only do so with the right whales and on their terms. They provide you with a wetsuit, snorkelling, safety equipment and experienced dive guides. With the smallest guest numbers in the bay you’ll feel like part of the family and they look forward to welcoming you aboard.

Peak season: July to August is the best time to swim with whales. Low season: September to October switches to a unique watch experience due to the number of calves in the bay. It is possible to swim during this period if the opportunity arises.
