About

Look beneath the surface into the world of the majestic Humpback Whale. Enjoy an unforgettable eye-to-eye experience with these gentle giants right here on the Gold Coast.

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 their prime objective to give you that experience in a safe and environmentally conscious way.

Doing everything they can to maximise your chance of swimming with whales but what you must understand is; they don’t swim with whales, the whales swim with you. While they guarantee whale sightings, they cannot guarantee your swim with them; the time they spend with you or the proximity they will come.

Every whale swim is unique and the highly experienced skipper and crew are on hand throughout to make this experience personal as well as professional. They have a wealth of knowledge and passion for whales and the stunning Gold Coast region they look forward to sharing with you.
