Special Minke whale encounters June & July each year
This is a rare chance for an adventure of a life time in Australia. June and July each year is the season to encounter the Minke Whales. These excursions are for snorkelers and divers!
There are not many people in the world lucky enough to experience this but you can be one of them! The species that we will be observing is the Dwarf Minke Whale, which grows to a maximum length of about 8 metres. As soon as the whales get close to the boat, the skipper will disengage the engine and the boat will silently drift along with the current. Two ropes will be hanging from the back deck and you will be gliding in the water, wearing your mask fins and snorkel and a wetsuit. You just hang on to that rope, wait and see. The scene is set: Showtime!
Minke Whale excursions have a high success rate of in-water encounters around 90% and more. The Whale interactions are sometimes lasting 2 hours or longer.
These excursions are a combination of scuba diving and snorkeling. You get a few dives less than on full dive cruises, but will have lots of snorkeling time with the whales. Contact us for more details.
