Whale Retreat | 10-12 September, 2027

A$1,800.00

Imagine being on the water as majestic humpback whales make one of the longest migrations on the planet — traveling thousands of kilometres from Antarctic feeding grounds back toward tropical waters (and back again!). For just a handful of days each year, these incredible giants pass through Jervis Bay on their southbound migration, sometimes slowing in its calm, sheltered marine waters to rest, play and connect with their calves — a rare behaviour that doesn’t last long and doesn’t happen everywhere.

A Rare Ocean Experience in Jervis Bay

Imagine being on the water as majestic humpback whales make one of the longest migrations on the planet — traveling thousands of kilometres from Antarctic feeding grounds back toward tropical waters (and back again!). For just a handful of days each year, these incredible giants pass through Jervis Bay on their southbound migration, sometimes slowing in its calm, sheltered marine waters to rest, play and connect with their calves — a rare behaviour that doesn’t last long and doesn’t happen everywhere.

This retreat is built around those fleeting days — an opportunity to share the water with humpback whales, dolphins and seals in a way few people ever get to, guided by experts and held in a small, intentional group.

Limited to just 10 spots…

This isn’t just another trip — it’s a deep ocean immersion designed to connect you to the natural world, your own breath, and the extraordinary presence of whales during their southern migration.

From 10–12 September 2027, you’ll join a select group of women in a supportive community to:

  • Swim with humpback whales during the rare window they visit the waters of Jervis Bay on the southern migration.

  • Snorkel in the incredible Jervis Bay Marine Park, known for its aquamarine waters and abundant marine life.

  • Build breath‑hold ability and comfort in the water with intro freediving sessions — regardless of your experience level.

  • Learn about whales and ocean ecology, deepening both knowledge and connection.

Engage in ocean‑mindfulness and breathwork practices designed to cultivate calm, presence, and inner resilience.

What’s Included

  • Two nights accommodation in a stylish coastal beach house retreat

  • All wholesome meals and snacks

  • A private 6‑hour whale boat charter to see, swim with and listen to whale song in the bay

  • Freediving session to build confidence and breath awareness

  • Sunrise swims and ocean breathwork sessions

  • Marine education & mindfulness activities

  • Tools and practices to deepen your connection with the ocean

  • Journaling and reflective practices to integrate your experience

(Retreat transfers and travel costs not included; optional gear hire available.)

This is more than a retreat — it’s an invitation to slow down, see the world from a different perspective, and experience nature with depth and intention.
