Best experience on the East coast - Very well organized tour with lots of whales, pleasant crew and interesting explanations and a longer break on land with snorkling, kayaking, tubing, dune climbing and swimming in fresh water creek - good food/service and relaxing

An amazing birthday experience. - We had an amazing time on this tour, and we could not recommend this enough. The crew were excellent very knowledgeable, professional and very friendly. Overall the day was very well organised and not rushed. I could not think of a betterway to spend a 60th birthday - snorkelling, canoeing, relaxing on K'gari a beaches and most definitly the whales. Just incredible to see these majestic animals in their natural habitat. Thank you Tasman Venture.

Saw all the whales we hoped to, and then some. - Robyn was friendly and amazingly patient with all my dumb questions. My wife and I did the four hour adventure and it was truly amazing. Our super knowledgeable guide obviously whale loving quite was fabulous. She told us everything about humpbacks and where and when to look. Despite the high winds, we saw heaps and what a display they put on!! The entire crew did a great job and tried their very best to make it a memorable day. It sure was!! Don’t miss it.

Whale of a Time with Remote - Sensational and super professional, caring and well organised tour and staff went beyond to making it a special day for us all. This is my second time doing this particular tour and believe me it's as wonderful as our first tour. Fabulous staff, knowledgeable and personable. Very experienced captain Noel who went out of his way to show us every whale and their behaviour in the bay. The food and snacks were ample, tasty and delicious. The activities organised such as kayaking, tibing, walking in creeks and snorkelling were outstanding. Highly , highly recommended.

Book it, amazing day whale watching and exploring K'gari - Amazing tour to whale watch and explore K'gari island. This tour is for very active people as you will be on and off the boat several times. We started off the morning doing the majority of our whale watching as the whales were out and about. Absolutely amazing experience, the team does a great job of getting you up close to the whales, definitely a highlight of our vacation. We saw so many whales by the end of the day I think some people lost interest lol. Throughout the day we also kayaked, snorkeled, tubed and climbed a sand dune. The snorkeling had cloudy visibility and not alot of sealife while we were there, I would definitely recommend other spots/tours if snorkeling is your main interest but it was still fun to get in the water. Great crew, very friendly and looked after everyone. Food on the boat is ok, drink options (soda and alcoholic) do cost extra. Overall would highly recommend!

Best day!! - Honestly up there with one of the best days of my life, swimming with the whales was absolutely incredible. The day was a perfect mix of whale watching and adventure. The staff were so informative and friendly. I will be doing this tour again and recommending them to friends and family.

Simply the Best - The up close whale experience was beyond our imagination. The whales themselves stole the show but staff on the boat were not far behind. Shame the bus drivers let down the standard as the first and last impression

Whales, kayaking and tubing - Friendly and experienced staff running the tour. As well as the whale watching, our tour included a trip to a rope swing on a beach, kayaking, tubing, and snorkelling. Wasn't expecting it to be such an activity based tour (thought it would be more chilled bushwalking/exploring the island on kayaks) but it was very enjoyable nonetheless! Couldn't swim with the whales due to calves being present but not sure I'd want to disturb them in the water anyway and was very cool just seeing them play!
