Most incredible experience EVER!!!!!! Most incredible experience EVER! Loved every minute of it. Nadia put together a fantastic experience— not just the whales (which we were in the water with every day and were spectacular), but also accommodations at Mystic Sands ( run by the amazing Mosi) and fun dinners out (maybe the best pizza outside of NYC!) and Mosi’s home cooking. Def plan to go back.

Great experience from start to finish Great experience from start to finish. Nadia and the team were extremely helpful answering my questions during the booking process and the trip itself was incredible! Everything was smooth and easy. The boat crew were phenomenal, hotel staff were great, location of Flying Annie was perfect, and the list goes on and on. I’ll def be back again next year!

OUTRAGEOUS! Do NOT book with this company! The owner kept my 1000$ deposit since covid started, refusing to give it back even after postponing for 3 YEARS! I begged her to give me my money back when covid hit and put me in a really tough financial position (not being able to pay rent and buy decent food) but never got a single dollar back, and didn't even TRY to make a gesture at all (split the apple in half would have been appreciated considering...). This says a lot about her as a person, and I don't think I even need to elaborate... Plenty of other operators with great customer service if you’re looking for a humpback swim, don't let your dream be ruined by a company like this one!

Experience of a lifetime Experience of a lifetime! From the minute we landed till the day we left Humpback swims team were their for us. I spent 5 amazing days on the water with a small group of 6 amazing travelers and swam with whales with different personalities every day. Mother’s and calf’s, young and playful 1 year olds, breaches everywhere, huge males and heat runs. It was beyond my expectations! Not only in whale swims, but fantastic accommodations. If you are looking for a getaway from life itself. Reach out Nadia to get information. You will never regret it.

Humpback Swims IS AWESOME!!! Humpback Swims Review Where do I even begin? Ah... If you are on the fence about investing in exploring with Humpback Swims... get off the fence immediately. That is where I begin! Go put your deposit down right now. This is not just a trip… or a vacation… It is a soul expanding journey into YOU. Swimming with the Humpbacks is an experience like nothing I have ever imagined. I highly recommend working with Humpback Swims, ESPECIALLY if it is your first time like it was for me. Nadia Aly is the brilliant human who curates these journeys. To say she is ALL IN is an understatement. She went above and beyond to make sure that EVERY single person involved was attended to, safe, and made as comfortable and nourished as possible. From transportation, to accommodations, to the meals, to the boats, to the absolutely EPIC guides… this trip was an absolute game changer for me. Make sure you request Sifa and Simi, they were the crew of the OPA JEAN. They were with us for eight days and they seemed to be even more into it and passionate about it than we were. They were so interested in everything about the whales and were pumped to make sure we were having a blast for the entire 7 hours we were on that boat, every single day. If you can do it for 8 days… do it! I met people who did the five day version and they said they wish they had more time. We stayed at Mystic Sands for the duration of the Humpback Swim trekking. It was probably the safest place I have ever stayed on a trip in my life. The venue’s crew was beyond attentive. Peta, Mau and the rest of the team were awesome. (I hope I spelled their names properly). The owners came out often to check on us too. Nadia is a gem and one fantastic master of creating an experience that I will NEVER forget. I work in nervous system dynamics, emotional navigation and trauma as a coach. I am also a Registered nurse of 31 years with 23 years of Emergency Nursing under my belt and I have to say… I’ve seen a LOT… and this was unlike anything I have ever experienced.
