About us
We take you swimming with whales in the ocean around the world!
Operating for more than 24 years, our WhaleSwim Adventures team is your most trusted and experienced Tour Company to go swimming with humpback whales, orca and blue whales. 
We are away from the crowds in some of the most exceptional locations, for you to experience magical encounters with different species of whales (and sometimes, other marine mammals!).
We offer 7 or 9 night package tours that include great accommodation, multiple whale-swim days and most meals.
Everything is taken care of, you just have to join us, relax, slip quietly into the water & experience it all in wonder...



Our amazing team are passionate & experienced professionals who have been working closely with whales for the longest time. Our skippers & guides are frequently fondly called ”Whale Whisperers".
Every encounter is guided with the most respect for the whales, the environment and your safety. We care for our oceans and they give it back to us to the highest level. We are always in gratitude!
Please note - we do not offer day trips with the whales.

Swim with Humpbacks
in
VAVA'U, TONGA - late booking special on now!
Where our love for the whales began 25 years ago!
The Vava'u archipelago in northern Tonga is perhaps the most famous place in the world for swimming with humpback whales— and for good reason. The islands form a natural nursery for migrating humpback whales between July and late October, allowing them to raise their calves in peace.
Swim with Orcas
in
ALTA, NORWAY
Close your eyes and picture yourself in one of the most beautiful backdrop swimming with Orcas. This liveboard is for our passionnate ocean lovers. In the comfort of a dry suit, jump in to meet for a week one of the most beautiful and misunderstood underwater creature, the Orca.
Join us for an adventure you will never forget!

« I cannot put into words how amazing this trip and company were. The entire crew was exceptional. They all made us feel very comfortable in the water and were true whale whisperers! I also liked the fact that they were very respectful of the whales. If there were too many people in the water we would go look for other whales and were always able to find them. This was by far the best trip of my life and was truly life changing. I could not recommend this company enough and would love to come back some day! »
Carmen, Melbourne
« I knew when we booked this tour it would be special but i had no idea how life changing it would be. Each day on the water provided a different and equally incredible interaction with the whales. From seeing babies come up from below, mothers and babies swimming together, hearing whale song as we swam, seeing juvenile whales and breaching whales it was as close to a spiritual experience that I could imagine. A big heart fell thank you to the whole team for the most amazing and unforgettable experience of my life.»
Rafa, San Diego
« My wife and I had an experience of a lifetime swimming with whales. Words cannot do justice to how amazing it was. The crew made our trip unforgettable, they treated us like family. Thanks to their expertise, we were able to swim with Humpback Whales every day, and they made sure we were all safe while providing an extraordinary experience. Another note, the food prepared by Emma was exceptionnal! We could definitely come back just for the amazing dishes she prepared!
Thank you so much for this amazing week!»
"The moment you lock up with the eye of a whale, you will want to do it again, again and again"
