• Booking Advice: Swimming with whales is a true bucket-list experience, and the Sunshine Coast is a bucket-list destination to match! We highly recommend staying for a few days and booking your swim at the beginning of your trip. Quick 1- or 2-day stopovers leave no room to reschedule if the ocean weather doesn't cooperate, so give yourself a flexible window to ensure you don't miss out on the magic.

• We do not offer refunds but you can transfer your booking to another date up to 72 hours prior or apply the amount to a future tour or retreat (excludes promotions/discounted offers).
