5.0
(10 reviews)
Fraser Island, Australia

4 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

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.
