Some tours are for whale-watching only, while others offer swimming with humpbacks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Full-day tours typically offer reef snorkelling as well as the humpback whale experience. Guests are often split into groups for snorkelling and swimming to ensure safety &#8211; both yours and that of the natural environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Migration season for the whales is between July and October. Please note that though the tour operators do their best to make the day memorable, there are no guaranteed sightings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several tour companies run tours, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/coralbaytours.com.au\/tours\/humpback-whale-adventure-tour\/\">Coral Bay Tours<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coralbayecotours.com.au\/swim-with-a-humpback-whale\">Coral Bay Eco Tours<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photo credit: Tourism WA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1068,"template":"","categories":[109],"activity-type":[107,108],"time-of-year":[],"class_list":["post-1077","events","type-events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tours-cruises","activity-type-tour","activity-type-whale-tour"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
