Tasman Venture
Whale Watch

Half Day Morning Cruise 8.30am to 12.30pm
Half Day Afternoon Cruise 1.30pm to 5.30pm

Tasman Venture’s half-day whale watch encounters depart twice daily from the Hervey Bay Marina.

Passengers enjoy a tranquil cruise through the Great Sandy Strait, along the remote pristine western side of World Heritage listed K'gari (Fraser Island) to Australia’s ultimate humpback whale playground.

The fast and luxurious catamaran enables you to travel to the whale watching area in the fastest possible time. This means more time with the whales for an unforgettable tour in the whale watch capital of the world.

Be on the lookout for Humpback Whales and experience the thrill of getting up close and personal with these majestic creatures as they frolic in the calm, clear waters of the Bay. Immerse yourself with these gentle giants from the purpose designed vessel’s large decks, including our famous water level viewing platform and our underwater viewing windows.

"The jet ski tour was a fantastic day! It is a superb showcase of the marine park and the Hervey Bay waterways. Stuart is an extremely professional guide and ensured every aspect of the trip was a great experience. We all loved it and will be back again."
