Hervey Bay Half-Day Whale Watching Cruise

I took two half-day whale watching tours with different companies in Hervey Bay. The Tasman Venture tour was in the afternoon, departing at 1:30 PM and returning around 5:30 PM. Between the two tours, I highly recommend Tasman Venture. Their boat is very fast, possibly the fastest in Hervey Bay, which allows them to quickly approach whales when they surface for closer observation. The boat has enthusiastic guides who constantly update passengers on the whales' current location, help count down to when a whale will surface, and predict and explain whale behavior. Whale watching certainly involves an element of luck, but everyone on board that day had a fantastic time. The whales came very close and were incredibly active; my family even got splashed by the water from a whale's tail fin hitting the surface.

The activity operator was Naturaliste Charters. Due to weather conditions, the activity location was changed to Augusta. We were on a two-story yacht. The first deck of the boat had indoor seating, but we spent most of our time on the deck watching whales. The captain was very experienced and successfully led us to humpback whales. We traveled alongside the whales for a long time. The guide shared a lot of interesting information about whales throughout the trip. We had plenty of time out at sea. It's a shame we didn't see any Southern Right Whales. Overall, we had a great time! It was a fantastic experience. Also, I want to remind future travelers that the sea can be quite rough, so if you're unsure about motion sickness, be sure to take seasickness medication in advance. Our friends who joined us didn't get seasick when they went dolphin watching before, but they did this time.

A truly amazing experience! The crew are very knowledgeable and helpful, catering is excellent, with vegan and gluten free options available upon pre-booking (make sure to email them to be safe). The whole trip was 8 hours with a about 5 hours of whale watching, there were Orcas every few minutes! The crew could identify them on sight and told us their names, etc. Cannot recommend this tour enough!

I was thinking about taking either this one or the cheaper one that departs in Hillarys. Glad I booked this one. The boat was very comfortable. Crews were all super nice. Saw a young humpback whale. Best season is mid Sept-mid Oct.

I initially thought it would be boring, but I ended up thoroughly enjoying the entire trip. There was continuous, very clear commentary, the boat was stable, and there was plenty of space to move around. The lunch was fresh. It would have been even better if complimentary drinks were included. The price was a bit high, but the crew was very polite.
