Product Details

Set sail on Tasman Venture for a half-day whale-watching cruise in Hervey Bay, one of Queensland's top spots for meeting humpback whales.

Depending on your chosen cruise, you can join the morning or afternoon departure and spend four memorable hours watching these giants of the sea from a purpose-built 20-metre catamaran.

The vessel is designed for comfort and viewing, with clear decks, underwater viewing rooms, a hydrophone to listen to whales sing, a unique viewing platform and air-conditioned cabin areas.

Your crew includes friendly, experienced and accredited staff who share expert commentary throughout the cruise. If the whales are shy, your trip includes a guaranteed sighting or return ticket, so the odds stay in your favour.

On the way home, enjoy tea, coffee, biscuits, cake and an antipasto platter while swapping whale stories like a seasoned sea scout.
