Full Itinerary
Experience the trip of a life time aboard the NEW Tasman Venture viewing the spectacular Humpback Whales. The Tasman Venture is favoured particularly by photographers because of its clear viewing decks and unrivalled record of 'close encounters'.

The fast speed of the Tasman Venture means that viewing time is not encroached on by hours of travelling time to the Whale Watch area, providing more actual viewing time with the whales. The Tasman Venture also features two airconditioned Underwater Viewing Rooms where you can see the whale up close and personal in their natural environment.

The newest addition to the Tasman Venture is a specifically designed viewing platform that allows you to be at the water's surface and have eye to eye contact with the Humpback Whales. A totally awe inspiring moment can be encountered as a whale passes right underneath you and as you feel the mist from their blow.

There is no other boat in the fleet that offers such a unique up close and personal encounter with these gentle giants. Come join us today for the experience of a life time that is second to none.

Please note: Student, Children and Family rates available. Please ask for details.

Also available from Sunshine Coast, with coach transfers to meet Tasman Venture included. Please ask for details.
