    Enjoyable trip with a very friendly and knowledgeable crew. The commentary was very educational and covered a lot of information that we did not know about these amazing creatures. The boat was smooth through the water and was a good viewing platform.

    The crew of the Tasman Venturer were terrific. They located many pods of whales and made sure everyone had space and ample time to take videos and photos.

  • Well worth it

    This was an experience no one should miss, beautiful whales in their natural habit doing what they like and putting on a show for us. Tasman tours showed their experience with the crew sharing their knowledge very helpful.

    We have done many whale watching trips but this one was spectacular. Whales galore breaching, tail slapping, pec slaps and even lucky enough to see Narla tail up feeding her calf. Thanks to all the staff for an incredible experience
