Gold Coast: Swim with Whales

4.8 (14 reviews)

Before you book

The group limit differs by source: the listing gives 8 participants in one place and no more than 12 passengers in another, and Cooly Eco Adventures' own booking page says at most 10 swimmers go in with the guide. Ask when you book if the number matters to you.
