Minke Whale and Great Barrier Reef Liveaboard Trip

This Minke Whale trip onboard Mike Ball’s liveaboard Spoilsport offers a unique and exhilarating opportunity to swim with these beautiful creatures. The expedition runs from Cairns to Lizard Island, going all the way along the outer Great Barrier Reef. You will spend time exploring the pristine Ribbon Reefs and exploring the wonders of sites like Gotham City, Steve’s Bommie & Lighthouse Bommie. The trip includes up to 10 dives and multiple interactions along the way with Dwarf Minke Whales.

There are few opportunities in a lifetime where you can experience the thrill of sharing the water with a creature as magnificent as a whale. It’s only during the months of June and July, that we have the opportunity to interact with Minke Whales in the warm waters of the Great Barrier Reef. This is a unique and incredible experience which you will remember for years to come!

On this dive trip, you will not only see the Dwarf Minke Whales, but a huge variety of marine life! From disco clams to diver-sized potato cod, this trip has a little bit of everything. The diverse marine environment on the outer Great Barrier Reef is a diver’s dream, with interesting corals and beautiful creatures at every turn.

The trip includes a low-level scenic flight cruising 300m over the reef from Cairns on the way to Lizard Island, giving you an amazing opportunity to experience the reef from above and below!
