Hervey Bay whales with Tasman Venture
Although the weather wasn’t great we had a memorable time and saw many whales including mum with calf and attendant males. The crew were top class and commentary was very informative

A truly great day
My wife and I had a fantastic time whale-watching on Tasman Venture. Staff were very polite and helpful from the moment we stepped aboard. The commentary was very informative and helpful, we both learnt a lot about our ocean dwelling friends. Whales were amazing, sometimes only 2 metres from the boat. We saw roughly 20 whales of all sizes and genders on the tour. It was a truly amazing day, one we shall remember for the rest of our lives.

A great day
Disappointed to not see more whales and close up. We didn’t see any breaching or blowing.
