An adventure-packed tour that promises excitement at every turn!


Step aboard Wipeout, the fastest vessel in Hervey Bay, for a premium small-group adventure where you get to be first on the water with the whales. By limiting our tours to small groups, we provide space, comfort, and an intimate, personalised experience that larger tours can’t match.

Feel the thrill as our expert guides navigate the calm waters of the Great Sandy Straits to bring you up close to majestic humpback whales. On our tours, there is the unique opportunity to swim with the whales, creating an unforgettable encounter before the crowds arrive.

Whale swimming is offered for guests who want an immersive experience. Swimming with whales is strictly on their terms and follows our license guidelines, and is not guaranteed on any tours. The best whale swimming opportunities are from mid-July to August, as from September onwards, more mothers and calves enter the Bay. You don’t have to enter the water, whale watching is fantastic throughout the season.

  • Fastest vessel in Hervey Bay, be first with the whales
  • Small group experience, space and personal touch

  • Our tour offers the opportunity to swim with whales

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Swimming with whales is not guaranteed. This experience is included in the ticket price, should the opportunity arise. Our team will make every effort to provide the opportunity for this incredible encounter, but it depends on certain conditions and the behaviour of the whales. We are working with wild animals, and we are in their space. Respecting these creatures is our number 1 priority. To increase your chances of a successful whale swim, we recommend booking between July and early September. After this time, mother and calf sightings are more common, and swims with them are not allowed by law. Please be aware that a swim with whales is not guaranteed, but we promise an unforgettable experience as we explore the world of these magnificent creatures.
