5.00Wonderful tour with a very efficient and simpathetic crew. The team excels in punctuality, efficiency, and knowledge of the sites visited. We also had the opportunity to explore beautiful locations and spot several whales in different situations and at different times of the day.
Perfect day

5.00Had such a great day! The crew were incredibly friendly and made the day so enjoyable. I learned a lot about the whales and got to see plenty of calves. Also managed to see stingrays, dolphins and turtles. The places you visit on K’gari are absolutely stunning — I’d do it all again.
Great experience.

5.00We had a great time and would recommend to anyone. Better than just a whale watching tour, as we saw heaps of whales up very close to the boat and then got to explore some parts of Fraser that are difficult to get to and very special.
I would book this tour again at any time

5.00The day tour we booked was a direct hit. Early in the day we started by boat for whale watching, the first whales were not waiting. We were on one of Fraser Island’s most beautiful beaches, snorkeling in the sea, you could go canoeing, bathe in fresh water and we saw whales full. The day was accompanied by very good food and a very professional team. No questions remained, and during whale watching we were told a lot about the behavior of the animals. This tour is a must for any Australia holidaymaker......
Great Whale Watching combined with Great Activities on K'Gari

5.00This was an excellent tour combining excellent whale watching opportunities with a visit to Fraser Island (K'Gari) and some activities on and near the beach. The crew lead by Carolina, Angus, CJ and Mara were excellent. Knowledgeable and attentive to everyone's needs. Whilst the boat on arrival at the marina doesn't look as upmarket as some of the others and looks more like a dive boat, it turned out to be much more functional and offered great vantage points from all over the boat. Carolina told us at the beginning that we would be sitting in every part of the boat at some point during the day and she was right. Everyone moved freely around and you didnt have to worry about securing a good seat/vantage point which we had to on another trip the next day. From the very young to the very old and everyone in between, everyone was catered fort and well looked after. Highly recommend this fabulous day out
Beyond 5 stars!

5.00We had a wonderful day with Tasman Venture! We spent a month traveling through Queensland and this was our 5th and most favorite boat tour. Crew- The entire crew was great - friendly and genuinely cared about everyone having a good time. The main guide (I wish I could remember her name) provided commentary and clearly has a lot of experience with whales. We appreciated the information that she provided about the humpback whales - we learned a lot! Thank you to Taylor for watching our 6 year old while we went up the sand dune! Boat - We were on the Pure Dive boat which was spacious with plenty of room for everyone, with seats inside and outside and an outdoor deck in the front of the ship perfect for whale watching. The ride was smooth - no issue with seasickness. Food- The crew went out of their way to accommodate our vegan request. They made sure we had food for every snack and lunch. K'gari - Crystal clear water and beautiful white sand beach with no one on it. We kayaked in a creek and played on the beach, then went back on the boat for lunch and whale watching, then back to the island for the sand dune climb and creek swim. I wish we had more time on the beach but I wouldn't have given up the whale watching. If you do this tour outside of whale season then I think you get more time on the island. Whales - We spent a few hours whale watching, which was spread out in the morning, lunch time, and afternoon. We saw a lot of whales including moms and babies (which stayed close to the boat)! As the guide said, there are so many whales it's hard to decide which ones to focus on. Every time I looked around there was a fin, tail, breach, big splash or blow hole mist in eyesight. THE MOST MEMORABLE PART OF THIS TOUR WAS GETTING IN THE WATER UP CLOSE WITH TWO WHALES!!! There are no words to properly describe the amazing whale encounter! This is a must do tour!
Great experience 😁

5.00The crew is fantastic, so much pleasure in the job and friendliness in dealing with the guests we have rarely experienced anywhere. Thank you and keep going! We saw a lot of whales at the end of August and were taken to places that are not as busy touristically. For us that was a reason to book this tour. Depending on the conditions, the crew offers what seems reasonable, with us there was no swimming with whales or even no tubing, as the waves were too high. Overall a great experience that we would definitely recommend.
Good activity but lie in the description

3.00I hired with you some excursions in Spanish. I valued many options and finally hired this one for the language. No one spoke Spanish, very disappointed
Perfect day!

Outstanding day out with Tasman Ventures in Hervey Bay

5.00What an amazing day! We shared the ocean with humpback whales, but were well supervised as we did so which meant the whales came to us. The trip took us out to the bay where the whales were, and we could go into the sea within strict limits as the whales swam past. The Tasman Ventures staff were all professional, hospitable and knowledgeable. They knew where to find the whales, and were adept at interpreting their behaviour so that we had some idea of what to expect. The food and drink was generous and the whole atmosphere was friendly but professional. In the afternoon we explored part of Kgali which broadened our knowledge of this unique part of planet Earth A fantastic day, but the crowning part was being in the water with them, as seeing humpbacks up close, witnessing their curiosity and watching them breach, too.
