The annual whale watching season, August through to October, sees the stunning humpback whales glide into the protected waters of Hervey Bay on their migratory journey north to warmer winter waters.

Witness the mammals teach their young to breach, tail slap and lunge just meters from you, all from the comfort of the luxury Tasman Venture II.  Travel out to see the whales in style at a twenty knot cruising speed, guaranteeing you'll have maximum viewing time of the magnificent creatures.

Carrying only sixty passengers, the Tasman Venture II offers the luxury of uncrowded viewing with small numbers guaranteed.  The 15.6 meter catamaran has been operating in Hervey Bay since the launch of the whale watching industry, local knowledge and experienced crew guaranteeing an informed and pleasurable cruise.

The half day cruises depart twice a day every day during the whale watching season, and include morning or afternoon tea as well as the opportunity to get up close and personal with the mammals through under water cameras as well as listening to their magical calls echo above the surface with the hydrophone.

Reach out and almost touch the barnacle dotted skin of the whales as they spy hop right beside the boat, breach and then glide straight under the boat where you can catch a glimpse of them through the under water cameras. 

If you miss the under water action then just watch it on the cruise back to Hervey Bay, all the day's footage is recorded.

The Tasman Venture's Large viewing decks, fully licensed snack bar and fast cruising speed all present you with a comfortable, enjoyable whale watching experience.  Guaranteed sightings also assure you that if no whales are seen then you can return for another cruise free of charge, so why not join the friendly crew for your Whale Watch adventure on the popular Tasman Venture II for the adventure of a life time.
