Port Douglas is an awesome place and this time of the year offers an experience that only a small minority have ever had the chance to experience. Swimming with Minke Whales!
Poseidon, a local company that holds one of only three permits issued to day boats by the marine park managers, GBRMPA, allowing passengers to deliberately swim with these curious and friendly whales that grow to 8 meters in length. These curious creatures satisfy their own curiosity and come up to the swimmers who number no more than 10 and are sent out on a floating line once the whales have been spotted. There have been some amazing encounters this year and though not guaranteed are more frequent during the winter months.
With Spring almost upon us, you will have to hurry to get up close and personal with these curious creatures. The warmer months also sees the magestic Humpback Whales entering our waters and encounters with these animals are magical as well with them giving us displays of breaching, tail and pectoral fin slapping.
Come to Port Douglas, experience these magestic creatures for yourself and enjoy great Port Douglas accommodation at the same time at Reflections of PD.
