Sightseeing
The Tasman Venture is a top pick operator, offering whale watching in Hervey Bay. Their half-day whale watching tours are a must-do. Tasman Venture has a small vessel than some others, but this makes for an intimate tour and gets you closer to the action. Their boat arguably has better viewing spaces than some of the larger vessels. Their friendly, welcoming staff and passionate, knowledgeable wildlife guide only enhance their offering. We can make bookings fo you on this, or their longer tours that include Fraser Island.

The Boat Club half-day whale watching is a local favourite. The Amaroo is a larger vessel for those who appreciate the extra stability on the water and Captain Phil House has been leading people out to the wheels for more than 20 years. Highly recommended. We can help make bookings for you if you'd like.
