The opportunity to swim with a humpback whale is a rare and extraordinary one that people who have experienced it have described as &quot;life-changing&quot;.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Every day is different on the water, and every encounter is unique. This Swim with Whales trip is approximately 4 hrs, with each trip catering for up to 15 participants. The crew provides all participants with wetsuits and snorkelling equipment required for the adventure. Participants are also fully briefed on the boat about what to expect from the experience.

&nbsp;

Your day starts with check-in, where you&#39;ll sign your waiver and get fitted out for&nbsp;your mask, snorkel, fins and wetsuit. Then, the&nbsp;Skipper will brief you on how the trip will run.

&nbsp;

The trip out of Mooloolaba takes around 15 minutes.&nbsp;After exiting the Mooloolah River mouth, you&#39;ll begin to search for whales,&nbsp;looking out for mainly blows or significant surface activity from the humpback whales; however, it&#39;s not uncommon to also end up spotting dolphins, turtles and other amazing animals along the way.

&nbsp;

After spotting the humpbacks, what you experience is entirely left up to the whales.&nbsp;If the they display behaviours deemed unsuitable by the crew for a swim, you will observe these animals from the boat and give them their space. However, if the team thinks it&#39;s safe for the whales and you, The Skipper will shut the boat off, and the swimmers will slowly enter the water.

&nbsp;

There will be a floating line attached to and trailing off the back of the boat for swimmers to hold.&nbsp;Then it&#39;s all up to the whale &ndash; it is a natural experience and is 100% on the whale&#39;s terms.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Whales are known as curious creatures, so they may come over towards you, or they may just swim past or away. Either way, it&#39;s an experience you will never forget. It is also a case of looking but not touching these wondrous creatures.

&nbsp;

While the crew will do everything in its power to ensure whale encounters, they can&#39;t guarantee that guests will get to swim with these magnificent sea mammals. However,&nbsp;if on the day the boat doesn&#39;t sight a whale, you will be eligible for 50% off your next trip.&nbsp;
