Swim with whales Gold Coast video
Our main tour video shows a humpback breaching right beside the boat, and the clips that follow come from the same tour: a whale spy hopping near snorkellers with Wollumbin behind, a pod swimming underwater, a close pass and swimmers back at the surface after a swim.
Every encounter is different, because the whales decide how long they stay and how close they come. We don't swim with whales, the whales swim with us.
Photos from the water
These photos come from our swim with whales tour: humpbacks gliding beneath snorkellers, a pectoral fin passing a guest's camera, tail flukes at golden hour and a breach close to shore. Swimmers are in the water with an experienced guide, a maximum of 9 at a time, and nobody touches the whales.
Your photos and video
All photos and videos of the adventure are included in the $399 ticket, so you can leave the camera work to us and enjoy the swim. You are welcome to bring your own camera or GoPro too, but flash photography is not permitted. When you join a tour, our terms allow us to take photos and video of you and use them in our advertising, on our website and on related sites such as Facebook.
