Swimming with sea turtles in Australia
About this list
If you want to go swimming with sea turtles in Australia, the useful question is not whether the sea turtles are there but who will take you to them that way. Maptlantis lists only the 6 operators in Australia that name the sea turtle as a target species and actually run swimming. All 6 operators on this list publish prices on their own channels, so you can compare them directly. Estimated prices are not shown. Operators list different seasons, Mar–Oct and Nov–Apr among them. There is no single season for sea turtle trips in Australia, so check each operator's operating period before you set your dates. Operators with structured encounter data list manta ray, dolphin, sea turtle, reef shark and dugong as target species. Ways to meet them: snorkeling, boat-based watching, swimming and land-based watching. Whether you may enter the water and what distance rules apply differ by country and operator. Check the program details and legal status on each operator page first.
