Every whale swim is unique and our 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.

An absolutely amazing experience swimming with the whales - being up so close in the sea with them. To have the whales constantly breaching was just incredible they were happy displaying their skills spinning 360 degrees and exploding as high as they could out of the sea making the biggest slash they could for us. Thank you to the captain Lach, crew Cass and Georgia. Cheers Malcolm

Stunning experience. So peaceful under the water with many species of colourful fish to see, the movements of the underwater sea grass and the motions of the surf. The boat favourite was definitely the graceful turtles. Amazing, beautiful turtles in their natural habitat. Highly recommend the Cooly Eco team, Cass and Joel looked after all our needs and ensured everyone was comfortable in the water. We loved hearing the turtle stories, and importantly ways to keep marine life safe and our oceans thriving.

I had a fantastic experience on this whale-watching trip! We saw many whales, although we couldn't swim with them as they stayed a bit far from the boat. The sea was quite rough, causing some seasickness, but the friendly team assisted us throughout. The captain shared insightful knowledge about the whales. I'd love to do it again on a day when the whales are closer and the ocean is calmer!

Had a great day with Joel and Julia today on the water.
We booked a whale swim. We did get a brief swim which I wish had been longer but at the end of the day you need to keep in mind that the whales are wild and it's up to them if they feel like playing ball.
We had plenty above water encounters with the whales and the Cooly team did everything in their power to make it a great experience

This was one of the most incredible experiences I’ve ever had in my life, coming face to face with majestic whales underwater was absolutely amazing. The tour was professional, informative and respectful to the whales, letting them come to us. Would highly recommend and would definitely do it again! 11/10

Wow! That was insane. Lachie (owner and skipper) was amazing. His knowledge of the water and whales is incredible. We had two up close and personal swims with the whales plus whales swimming 3m from the boat. Highly recommend! How amazing that we can do this on the Gold Coast!!!
