Touring Options

Tasman Venture Whale Watching

The Tasman Venture is noted for its personalised service, stability and superior comfort due to less crowding. Particularly favoured by photographers, the Tasman Venture has five uncrowded, clear viewing decks and an unrivalled record of ‘close encounters’.

The fast cruising speed of the Tasman Venture means that viewing time is not encroached on by hours of travelling time to the Whale-Watch area, thus providing more actual viewing time with the whales.

View the whales through the special underwater ‘WhaleCam’ camera, and hear the song of these gentle giants of the sea as they swim beside and beneath the vessel.
