  • Overview

    Each year between May and November the subtropical waters of Australia’s east coast host 30,000 humpback whales on migration from Antarctica. They follow the path of the continental shelf which runs closest to the shoreline between Byron Bay and the Gold Coast, making this the prime location for us to witness whales in their natural environment.

    From departure to return you will enjoy stunning coastal scenery along with informative and captivating commentary from our experienced skipper and crew. We guarantee you will encounter whales and be mesmerised as you observe them in their natural habitat.

    Cooly Eco Adventures provides the closest and most intimate encounters in the region due to the eye-level viewing offered by the safari-style vessel. 

    Every whale watch 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.

    Fabulous, helpful, and accommodating tour guides. They were thorough in preparing travellers for the experience. The boat ride was fun, and we saw dolphins on the way to the island. While snorkeling, we saw a variety of fish and three large turtles.

    We went to do the swimming with turtles in Cook Island and we really had an amazing time. The quality of the snorkelling gear was really good and well maintained. I would recommend this company and this tour it to anyone!

    Highly, highly recommend a Swim with Turtles experience with the Cooly Eco Adventures crew. Lachie runs a professional outfit with excellent safety standards, quality equipment & a very clean craft. His knowledge of the local marine & bird life & his respect for the environment is next level & we felt in very safe hands on the boat. Cass was very informative whilst snorkelling in the water, pointing out different species of fish, turtles & other marine creatures. Excellent morning out for all topped off with numerous dolphin sightings! Will definitely be booking again soon.
