Why we Love Hervey Bay Whale Watch with Tasman Venture

Hervey Bay Whale Watch with Tasman Venture has been operating since 1991 meaning they know this area, and the whales like the back of their hand!

Their luxury vessel features 360 degree viewing decks and full walk around access on 3 levels for your ultimate viewing pleasure. A custom designed viewing platform brings you right down to the waters edge for an up close and personal encounter with these gentle giants and there is even the chance to view the whales live in the comfort of our air-conditioned underwater viewing rooms.

Learn about Humpback Whales and other marine life of the Sandy Strait including dolphins, turtles, dugongs, sharks and sea birds. Informative and knowledgeable crew will offer talks and dvd’s will be playing informative documentaries.
