5Amazing
Best experience of our three week trip in Australia.
5A huge thank you to Tasman Venture for an amazing whale-watching experience in Hervey Bay today! 🐋🌊
We were lucky enough to spend time watching humpback mothers, calves and escorts, with some wonderfully playful behaviour along the way. The crew were friendly, knowledgeable and shared plenty of interesting information about the whales and their behaviour. A truly memorable experience and a fantastic way to appreciate these magnificent animals in their natural environment. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Hervey Bay during whale season! 🐋💙
5Whale of a good time
We had a marvellous morning whale watching… from the complimentary pick up to the drop off, the crew were all amazing. The whales also go the memo and put on a fabulous show. It was an overcast/ showery day and that did not detract one bit from the experience.
5Bucket list dream now complete
The number of whales we saw was beyond expectations. the commentary extremely informative and all questions were answered with in-depth knowledge. The crew were very attentive and available.
5Awesome
Great tour: bigger faster boat, so it went right out in the bay, 2 decks with access all around the boat. Apart from amazing whale sightings, the onboard marine biologist Zoe provided a lot of interesting information and all the crew was very helpful. Super!
5Great outing.
We went out as a family and my grandkids enjoyed it. Lots of whales and great commentary. Informative and plenty of food.

About Hervey Bay
Hervey Bay is a relaxed seaside town on Queensland's Fraser Coast, with calm water, a long pier, visiting humpback whales and ferries to Fraser Island.
Hervey Bay is a string of beach suburbs, Pialba, Scarness, Torquay and Urangan, facing a wide, sheltered bay that Fraser Island shields from the open Pacific. A paved esplanade runs for kilometres along the shore, with parks, cafés and a cycle path, and at Urangan the long timber pier reaches far out over the shallows, an old cargo wharf now used by anglers and walkers.
