Swimming with Whales at Hervey Bay

I love wildlife and an opportunity to swim with humpback whales in Hervey Bay was on top of my wish list. The day trip with Hervey Bay Dive Centre to swim with the whales was beyond all my expectations! Understanding the natural world and its unpredictability I chose to go out 4 days in a row so to ensure a good experience. I need not have worried - the "Arcadia" with small passenger numbers and a professional and friendly crew made each day memorable. When you are floating in the water looking down at a beautiful humpback as it swims upside down beneath you the squeals of delight coming out of the snorkels is the same in any language - as is the smiles as we climb back up the ladder onto the boat. The most important part of this trip for me was the respect and safety of the whales that was paramount and that the crew had so much knowledge and understanding of these beautiful creatures which they passed onto each and every passenger. I will be going back next year and sincerely recommend this experience!
