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 the morning tour, there is the unique opportunity to swim with the whales, creating an unforgettable encounter before the crowds arrive.

Whale swimming is offered on all our morning tours 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.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Swimming with whales is subject to strict regulations and cannot be guaranteed. This experience is included in your ticket should the opportunity arise. We operate under a licensed permit and strictly follow all regulations, including not entering the water with mothers and calves. Our crew will always aim to provide a safe and respectful opportunity to swim; however, this is dependent on conditions and whale behaviour. As we are interacting with wild animals in their natural environment, their welfare and comfort will always be our top priority. For the best chance of a whale swim, we recommend booking between July and early September. Later in the season, sightings of mothers and calves become more common, and in-water interactions are not permitted. While a whale swim cannot be guaranteed, every tour offers a unique and memorable experience observing these incredible animals in the wild.
