Noosa Wellbeing Experiences

## 🐳💙 Whale Immersion Experience – Noosa 💙🐳

Imagine slipping quietly into the ocean as humpback whales make their annual migration past the Noosa coastline.
Join WildZen Adventures for an intimate Whale Immersion Experience — an unforgettable small-group journey combining whales, ocean, nature and connection.
This is much more than a traditional whale-watching trip. There is the opportunity to enter the water and swim with whales, along with the possibility of encountering dolphins, turtles and other marine life.
With a maximum of just six guests, the experience is deliberately small, respectful and unhurried, with everything happening entirely on the whales' terms.

### 🐋 What to Expect

The experience includes:

• Full boat charter with experienced whale and snorkel guides
• Welcome circle and intention setting
• Whale and dolphin encounters and marine interpretation
• The opportunity for an in-water whale experience
• In-water guidance from whale and dolphin experts and researchers
• Healthy mid-cruise snacks
• Approximately 3–4 hours on the ocean

The boat is skippered and guided by Peppie and Albi from WhaleSongs Noosa, experienced local ocean guides.

### 🤿 Important – Before You Book

This experience is for competent swimmers/snorkellers aged 16+.
You need to bring your own:
wetsuit, snorkel, mask and fins, plus a towel, warm layers, hat, reef-safe sunscreen and water bottle. Seasickness medication is also recommended if you need it.
Please arrive 10 minutes before the designated start time.
The experience may not be suitable if you are pregnant, cannot swim, or have certain medical conditions or injuries.

### 🐳 Nature Decides

This is a completely organic wildlife experience. While there is the opportunity to swim with whales and dolphins, an in-water encounter cannot be guaranteed.
The whales' wellbeing and everyone's safety always come first.

# Author Talk with Stephanie MacFie at The Doonan

Join us for a relaxed afternoon at The Doonan with Stephanie MacFie, author of the new novel Once Upon a Breakfast Show, published by Text Publishing.

### About Stephanie

Stephanie brings plenty of real-life experience to her writing, having spent close to two decades working in Australian media.
Her career has given her an insider's view of the fast-paced and sometimes unpredictable world of television and media, while behind the scenes she was also navigating motherhood, family life and the challenge of balancing personal ambitions with a demanding career.

Stephanie will share stories from those years, how her experiences influenced her writing, and the journey from having an idea for a book to seeing her debut novel published.
Once Upon a Breakfast Show takes readers behind the scenes of breakfast television - a world of big personalities, ambition, relationships and the difference between what happens on camera and what goes on when the cameras stop rolling.

During the afternoon, Stephanie will share:

• Stories and insights from nearly 20 years in Australian media
• The realities of balancing career, motherhood and creative ambitions
• The inspiration behind Once Upon a Breakfast Show and her journey to publication

There'll also be an opportunity to hear about the writing and publishing process and ask Stephanie questions.
Books will be available to purchase on the day, with Stephanie available for signings.

### Meetup Host

Jan Ford will be hosting our Meetup members for the afternoon.
