A full day of fun and adventure
We did this tour last week and I would highly recommend it it to anyone
The whole day was watching wales play and teach their young how to breach out of the water it was amazing . as well as exploring, tubing , kayaking climbing the big sand dune, and having fun on the rope swing in the fresh water creek
The scenery was incredible the spots we stopped at were truely beautiful the remote parts of Fraser were sensational, I didn’t think it could get much better but it did
The lunch on board was lovely and the staff the whole day were great
Thank you for a truly amazing day and experience that we will not forget
I cannot rate Tasman adventures high enough
And if your thinking of doing it
Stop thinking and go do it
It’s amazing!!

Best day ever!
Can't describe how awesome this day trip was - kids said best day ever! The crew were amazing, super knowledgeable about the whales and great at spotting them! The stops for a short kayak/tubing and later in the day for the dune climb/water hole were perfect. Personally maybe would have liked to explore a little more of the island, but that would have meant less whales!
Operator response

Best combination tour with small passenger numbers!
This is by far the best tour we have been on, small passenger numbers and friendly knowledgeable staff. We set out with morning tea and whale watching, then for a kayak up a fresh water creek and tubing off beautiful Fraser Island. Delicious lunch followed by more spectacular whale watching. Finished with a climb up the sand dunes to a spectacular view and a dip in another fresh water creek. Would definately do again.

Great tour but more people on board than expected.
Unfortunately it was raining quite heavily for the first couple of hours but once it cleared up, we had a great time! We were surprised at the number of people on board given that the details provided on your website detailed a maximum of 20 people (there was probably double that number).
Operator response
Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re glad the weather cleared and you were able to enjoy the K’gari and whale-watching experience. We’re sorry for the confusion regarding the passenger numbers shown on our website and understand how this could have affected your expectations. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. 🐋🌴

An amazing day out!
We had such a fantastic experience onboard the Tasman Ventures boat. The crew were incredibly knowledgeable and we learnt so much about all the humpbacks we saw (of which there must have been about 100!). We really enjoyed climbing the sand dunes and kayaking in the mangroves too. Would highly recommend!
Operator response

Magical- must do!
We had an absolutely magical day on the water!! We saw countless whales and observed lots of amazing social behaviours including pec slaps, mugging, rolls, and chasing. We even had some incredible interactions with curious whales coming right up to our boat to check us out and put on a show.
The crew were so knowledgeable and passionate, the whole day ran perfectly. The activities on K’gari were great too, really good value for money.
