Remote K'gari (Fraser Island) & Whale Experience

We were able to observe the whales from very, very close; they gave us an extraordinary show. The stops and the kayak and tube activities are very nice. The entire crew is smiling and attentive. Thanks to Carolena for her explanations in French. A very beautiful day, very well orchestrated at a cool pace.

One of our favourite days on our East Coast road trip. Incredible experience to be so close to the amazing humpback whales. The trip felt such good value for money, we spent a good amount of time whale watching, and time on K’Gari Island with fun activities like the rope swing into the creek, kayaking and tubing. The food was lovely and fresh and the crew were all so kind and friendly. 100% recommend this excursion, I’m sad it’s over!

Really fantastic experience. So many whales and so close. You could almost touch them. Also nice kayak trip between the Mangroves. And lots of beautiful pictures of K’gari. Super service oriented staff. And very good guidance and explanation. Really top big compliments.

These guys were incredible. Absolute must do when visiting the Fraser coast, in fact I would travel here just for this experience! Excellence in every aspect of our day, very helpful, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The tour structure built throughout the day and at every step we had the option to go for an adventurous activity or a relaxing one which caters to everyone’s different tastes and needs. Really impressed Tasman Venture!!

A wonderful trip overall — whales, water sports, and a crew that really made the days special, we bought the 2 day package and ended up been given a free 3rd day - that was an exceptional bonus to say the least. Carolena and her crew made the days even more special than it already was, running whale sightings and activities with real energy. Special mention to Thomas whose an absolute gentleman who knows exactly what people need and when. His commentary on what we were seeing throughout the day was excellent and added a lot to the experience. The captain was focused and safety-conscious which is a good thing to have on the water. The vessel could have been cleaner, with wet cushions on board. Not a great first impression, but the staff more than made up for it and dished out towels to sit on. The first day was full of activities as well as Whale watching which was a highlight, Snorkelling is a sandy bottom, so not much to see. Kayaking was excellent fun down through the mangroves, Tubing was fun for the young ones and climbing the sand dunes and exploring Fraser Island was just so serene. The second day of our whale watching package was not so dramatic with not so many whales but we did see some. However big kudos to the company they offered everyone on board a return ticket which highlighted what a great company they are and we are glad we chose them. Our second day was epic with breaches to start the day and breaches to end and everything else in between. Hervey Bay is one of the best places in the world to see whales as they stop to rest relax and play in the beautiful calm waters of the bay sheltered by Fraser Island. One more thing … only 3 boats are allowed to view a pod at a time, so there is zero crowding of boats which I was really grateful for. With Tasman Venture you are guaranteed to see whales which is a real bonus. A great 3 days, we highly recommend this company for your whale watching and exploring Fraser Island.

Wonderful 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.

Had 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.

We 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.

The 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......

This 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
