    Whale swim and scuba diving

    Tripadvisor traveller

    Paul, Dylan and Moa did a fantastic job across our three days of whale swimming. One day we spent close to an hour with a stationary whale. The crew were vigilant about safety, for us and for the humpbacks.

    Incredible whale swim!

    Tripadvisor traveller

    Magical and special. The staff on the boat were incredibly knowledgeable, they knew which areas to visit and which whales would surface soon. We saw a number of whale pods up close. A must-do experience with Beluga Diving.

    An experience of a lifetime

    Tripadvisor traveller

    Swimming with the whales was amazing and ethical. We only swam with them on their terms, never chasing them. The guides and skippers knew exactly where the whales would be and went out of their way to make sure we had a great time.
