Swim with Whales Gold Coast
Swim with Whales Gold Coast
From
Highlights
Each year between May and November the subtropical waters of Australia’s east
coast host 30,000 humpback whales on migration from Antarctica. They follow
the path of the continental shelf which runs closest to the shoreline between
Byron Bay and the Gold Coast, making this the prime location for us to witness
the whales in their natural environment.
To swim with whales is undoubtedly a remarkable, intimate experience you won’t
soon forget. Cooly Eco Adventures is the first operator on the Gold Coast to
offer swimming with whales and it is our prime objective to give you that
experience in a safe and environmentally conscious way.
We do everything we can to maximise your chance of swimming with whales but
what you must understand is; we don’t swim with whales, the whales swim with
us. While we guarantee whale sightings, we cannot guarantee your swim with
them; the time they spend with us or the proximity they will come.
