The Interaction
Humpback Whales are curious by nature and at times seek interaction with humans, other times we have the pleasure of just observing
what they do naturally. All interactions are on the whale’s terms and in accordance with our licence conditions.
We restrict group sizes to a maximum of 7 passengers per group, and use only the best equipment and resources to find and interact with the
most suitable animals, but ultimately the quality and duration of the swim is solely dependent on the whales willingness to be apart of our tour.
In most cases if a particular pod is not comfortable with our presence we will continue searching to find something that is more cooperative.
All swimmers taking part in a Swimming Interaction must be over the age of 13, a confident snorkeler, competent swimmer and be able
to swim efficiently unassisted for extended periods of time.
People wishing to observe are also welcome at a discounted rate.
Your Day
Once on board the vessel you will be given a comprehensive safety brief and boat induction. After departure you will be served a light breakfast as we cruise through the Exmouth Gulf. Once you have finished your breakfast you will be given a Whale ecology talk, snorkel briefing and fitted with all necessary equipment. Then it’s time for a snorkel on the reef which Whale Watchers are encouraged to enjoy as will as any swims that take place that are not a part of the Humpback In-water interaction.
After your snorkel you will be invited to enjoy some morning tea and go through the whale interaction protocol.
Then it’s time for action! Our private aircraft will be scouring the reef searching for the best animals for us to interact with. Our vessel and aircraft have some nifty ways to get you as close to the whales as possible and keep you safe.
A qualified snorkel guide accompanies each group of up to 7, whilst a company photographer takes photos of the Humpback Whales and other marine life sighted throughout the day. These photos are then given as a gift to you.
There is also opportunity to search for Turtles, Dolphins, Dugong, Rays, Sea Birds and other marine life throughout the day.
A very talked about feature on all Ocean Eco Adventures cruises is the delicious gourmet food featuring fresh Western Australian produce.
A variety of menu choices are on offer throughout the day with all dietary requirements catered for (with notice).
After lunch we take things much slower and enjoy a cruise through the Gulf whale watching our way home.
Let the Ocean Eco Adventures team guide you through the adventure of a lifetime on the Humpback Whale Swim.

Children under the age of 12 are not permitted to be left on the vessel unaccompanied, this includes when an in-water activity is taking place.
