We had an amazing day out with Cooly Eco Adventures! Staff were amazing and incredibly helpful, Jemma was a very skilled skipper and put us in the best positions for our swims, and Hayley did a fantastic job keeping everyone safe and ensuring everyone saw the whales. They were both so informative and really knew their stuff, with lots of amazing facts and answering everyone’s questions. Could really they respected the whales space and that our interactions were on the whales terms. Highly recommend!

A whale of a time
Whales are such magnificent creatures and to get so close was truly an incredible experience! Lachie, the skipper and Tash were excellent and passionate guides. Lachie had a wealth of knowledge about humpback whales and the small boat size was perfect for a safari experience. But naturally, the whales stole the show! The whale interaction in the water, and from the boat felt really respectful to the whales, with the whales being able to dictate how close they got to us and how long they stayed. An unforgettable experience ✨

You need to do this!
The whale swim experience was absolute perfection. The crew worked so hard to get everyone on board the experience we had all hoped for. We had 5 swims with 3 of the 5 close encounters with the whales. They were knowledgeable, kind, fun and made sure everyone felt relaxed and super safe. Their passion for the whales is evident in the way they speak, their adherence to rules and regulations about how close the boat can get and what everyone can do to ensure the success of the east coast population.
The swim itself was like nothing I have ever experienced before. We have swum with whale sharks in WA, Sharks in Hawaii and Kayaked with dolphins in Byron Bay and snorkelled the Great Barrier Reef and this experience topped the list for wildlife encounters.
10/10 recommend. One for the history books!

We are completely blown away by this review! To be ranked above experiences like swimming with whale sharks and the Great Barrier Reef is the highest compliment our team could ever receive. Thank you so much for recognising the hard work, passion, and care our crew puts into protecting these incredible animals and keeping everyone safe. Five swims and three close encounters is a day we won't forget either! Thank you for sharing the water with us, it was truly an honour to host you.

Most incredible experience of my entire life!
I went on a whale swim experience yesterday and it was honestly the most incredible experience of my entire life. The whole tour was just run so well from start to finish.
What I really loved is that the group sizes are small, on a smaller boat, and everything is done completely on the whale's terms, it's not guaranteed that the whales will swim with/near you, and I think that's exactly how it should be. It makes the whole experience feel so much more special and respectful of the animals.
We actually got to swim near the whales and saw so many breaching too, it was absolutely breathtaking, words can't describe. The staff were so kind, patient and knowledgeable, and I loved how they wove in information about the whales alongside the environmental impact humans have on the ocean and the whales' food source (krill).
I genuinely cannot stop thinking about it. I will be recommending Cooly Eco Adventures to absolutely everyone I meet, and will 100% be booking again! Thank you so much!

Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to share such an incredible review! 🐋💙
Reading this truly means the world to our whole team. We love that you appreciated our small group approach and our commitment to putting the whales first. Every encounter happens on their terms, and while that means nothing is ever guaranteed, it also makes those moments when they choose to interact with us so much more meaningful.
We're so happy you experienced breaching and were able to swim alongside these amazing animals - those are the kinds of moments that stay with you forever. It's also wonderful to hear that you enjoyed learning more about the whales, the ocean, and why protecting their environment is so important to us.
Thank you for your kind words and for recommending us to others. We can't wait to welcome you back on board for another unforgettable adventure. Until then, keep those whale memories close! 🌊💙

INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE!
I honestly couldn’t recommend Cooly Eco Adventures enough! From the moment we stepped on the boat, it felt less like a tour and more like spending the day with friends. The crew were so welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do.
Swimming with the whales was one of the most incredible experiences of our lives, and the team made us feel safe, comfortable, and excited the entire time. Their respect for the whales and the ocean was really evident, which made the experience even more special.
If you’re thinking about booking a whale swim experience, do it and do it with Cooly Eco Adventures. It was an unforgettable day that we’ll be talking about for years to come. Thank you for such an amazing experience! 🐋💙🌊

GO DO IT- Be Brave
Truly a once in a lifetime experience. Went out again I loved it so much. You can feel the love of whales and the Pacific Ocean from the crew, so full of knowledge and energy. I would/will be coming again! Also can Cory let me know where gets his coffee from so that I can regularly that energized and enthused at 6:30am? Cheers !
事業者からの返答
Thanks so much for the awesome review! 🐋💙 We’re thrilled you felt all the whale love and Pacific vibes—our crew works hard to bring that energy! As for Cory’s secret coffee… let’s just say it’s part magic, part very strong caffeine ☕😉. Keep it up and you’ll be matching him at 6:30am in no time! Can’t wait to have you back for round two on the water!

What a feeling!
We enjoyed a beautiful break of more than 5 hours with 2 friendly and motivated companions, who share their respect for cetaceans and their way of life. Diving with whales, watching from the boat and walking at sea: everything contributes to a slow and calm timeless moment
