Julian Rocks Marine Sanctuary in Byron Bay is rated as one of the best dive sites in Australia. Our on-board Marine biologist will guide you to the best spots to see marine life.

Enjoy the sights of the Byron Bay coastline onboard our comfortable, purpose-built vessel "Wardjum" - Bundjalung for a mythical sea creature.

In a small group with a maximum of eight people we will spend 3-4 hours offshore with the Humpback whales. There are over 35,000 Humpbacks on Australia's East coast so sightings are guaranteed although the whales decide if they want to swim with us. Our skipper is highly experienced swimming with whales around the World and is very familiar with identifying happy and curious whale behaviour. Our group size is kept to a minimum of just eight swimmers to increase the chances of a unique and special encounter. Despite their size humpbacks can be shy and large groups of people in the water are definitely not ideal for a good whale interaction. To keep you warm we have 5mm freedive suits with hoods and quality masks and fins. Our boat is fast and comfortable and gets us to the Whales quickly.
