DESCRIPTION

Bring your friends and family and share the experience of visiting and learning more about the wonders of our local aquatic life together. An intimate experience, creating memories to cherish forever.

Just a short 15-minute drive south from the Gold Coast Airport and a mere 600 meters off the shores of Fingal Headland lies the volcanic marvel of Cook Island. This captivating sanctuary hosts a permanent community of Green, Hawksbill, and Loggerhead Turtles, thriving amidst the vibrant tapestry of hard and soft corals that adorn the reef.

Venture into this underwater paradise and discover a bustling ecosystem teeming with life – from playful clownfish darting amongst the anemones to the elusive wobbegongs lurking in the shadows. Keep your eyes peeled from June to October for the majestic humpback whales as they journey along their annual migration route. And during the balmy summer months, don’t miss the chance to encounter the elegant and entirely harmless leopard sharks.

As you embark on this remarkable journey, be prepared to be accompanied by a pod of dolphins, their playful antics adding to the magic of the experience. This tour is not just an excursion; it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to immerse yourself in the natural wonders of the Tweed Coast.

Prepare to be spellbound by the beauty of the Tweed’s underwater world, and we assure you, the memories of this extraordinary adventure will linger long after your holiday ends. Get ready to recount tales of your Cook Island escapade for months to come – it’s bound to be the highlight of your trip!
