My friend and I booked a swimming with whales experience and we had the most amazing experience that we could have asked for!
It was an incredible day, all thanks to Monica, our guide, and Adam, the captain.
Monica was awesome and made sure we were well-prepared and comfortable the whole time. You could tell she is really passionate, and her good energy was contagious! Adam did a great job by getting us to the perfect spots to see the whales up close and swim next to them. He made sure we had a great adventure!
The tour was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, we also got some cool photos and videos, and having such an awesome team made it even better for us!!! We will be forever grateful for it. Thank you so much Monica & Adam, keep doing a great job!! Absolutely unforgettable day!

This diving centre is the best in gold coast. I’ve been to many other diving centres but I believe they will be the best soon. I done the swim with whale adventure with Adam and Mike. They both were so kind and experts on this area. We faced whale so many times and finally able to swim with them 2 times(also with dolphins!!!). I will be back here again and have another chance for this great experience. Big appreciation for Adam and Mike!!!
We booked as a group of 3 friends, and we all had a whale of a time! (Excuse my pun)
Despite one of us getting a small bought of seasickness due to the slightly choppy water, we still got to see many whales and also dolphins.
The guys were very well informed, had great senses of humour and were also very kind, and took their time to make sure we saw as many whales as possible on our trip.
On our boat we also had some people that booked to go swimming with the whales so that was an also experience.
Was a very very good day…Happy smiling faces all round!
Highly recommend 😎

WOW what a day 🐋
Thank you Michael and Adam for an amazing
day out on the water🐋
Great guys and great knowledge, with great respect for these beautiful creatures 🐋
Something I’ve wanted to do for a long time❤️
Had the pleasure of seeing a young calf❤️
Whales breaching, fin slapping and spy hopping.
To top it off when I got in the water a whale swam under me❤️🐋
A memory I will never forget
Thank you once again ❤️🐋❤️

What a trip - an experience that made my heart sing. From the start to finish, can’t fault this opportunity and think it should be on everyone’s MUST do list. LOVED the smaller boat experience, just a handful of us on board, great crew. I would go again tomorrow… from the fresh sea air, the views of the city, the whales, the sharing of info and personable staff - and totally rate the skipper, handled the ocean like a pro.
Best experience EVER!! We had a whale of a time. Excellent crew. Can not recommend them enough. If you sit in the front be wary you may get wet so have a change of clothes and a towel. It was worth it though.
An excellent experience! Terrific, small, swift, comfortable boat. Knowledgeable,helpful and friendly crew.(thanks Mike and Adam)They were also respectful and passionate about the whales and dolphins. It was a great morning for those of us who watched the whales and dolphins but even more special for those who swam with the whales.
We will be back !
Sorry, my photos don't show how fab the experience was.

One of the best experiences I had around Australia! Mike and Adam were really nice and knowledgeable! I'm glad I chose a small boat for whale watching it is the best choice to do (especially with them)!
The conditions were stunning! Whales and their calves came so close to the boat it was unbelievable and as a bonus we even saw dolphins!
I obviously recommend 100% Aqua Adventures! Thanks again to the crew😁

Fab morning out doing a first time scuba with my son. Instructor was great and very patient. Good value for money. Saw plenty fish and was diving for around half an hour. The boat trip was good too getting to the dive site.
I booked with another firm originally but I changed to this one, paying a little more for them because each time I rang with a question (4 different times!), my call was answered by the owner of the business. My teenage kids did the scuba dive, both first timers. Both had a fabulous experience and saw plenty of marine-life including a small stingray! Highly recommended.
My son did his PADI open water course, Dave the Dive Instructor was really patient, he really ensured my boy understood and was aware of all requirements. Dave a massive thank you, LJ was full of compliments and praise for yourself and the team see you soon for some more diving.
DO NOT RECOMMEND this company. If you are traveling as a family, keep in mind that your child may be refused boarding on a small boat. A trip on a small boat was booked, it was discussed that we will be with the child, we were told that the child does not need a ticket, the trip will be free for her (I have a correspondence with the tour operator where it is clearly written that the ticket is free for our child). When we arrived to go on a trip, Sofia (the owner of the company, as she said) told us that we could not take the child with us, because we needed to buy a ticket for her, and therefore we were denied the trip. I offered to postpone the trip to another date, we agreed, but no one postponed it. The money was not returned. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS TRIP WITH CHILDREN TO ANYONE. If you want to save your nerves and money, avoid this company
We had a fabulous time on the whale watching trip. Everyone was so knowledgeable and helpful. We saw so many whales, up closer than I thought we ever would. We didn’t go swimming but everyone who did seemed to have a marvellous time.
I would recommend this tour as the small groups make it so much more intimate and they really cared about the whole experience for everyone. We saw a number of the bigger cruise boats overloaded with passengers and I’d have to say I’m so glad we did this trip.

Really good today guys, thank you for taking care of Phil (aka Squirrel), a dedicated kite surfer and sailor. He is vision impaired and suffers from aspergers syndrome and is required to be permanently helmeted on water, he really enjoyed his discovery dive dive time here.
His first time underwater at Manly Aquarium some 8 years ago.
He will be back on the Gold Coast late July for round 2, after engineering a custom solution to fit his mask and helmet safely underwater.

We hired kayaks and the process was quick and easy.
We were provided with life jackets and given clear instructions.
We kayaked along the opposite side from Sea World and were very delighted when we spotted a dolphin only 20mtrs away from us. It was affordable and very fun. Highly recommend.
