We had a wonderful day. A group of 20 who were all friendly and prepared to share their story and travels. Crew were awesome - kind, informative, eager to assist, and although the visibility for snorkelling wasn’t great on the day, the captain kept searching for a better viewing location. Saw different types of dolphins, turtles, fish and it was a happy and relaxing day. Highly recommended for a great day out.

A memorable Fraser Island Trip !

Shehryar_D, Apr 2026
We had an absolutely incredible experience on our Fraser Island tour! From the very beginning, the customer service was outstanding, everything was smooth and well-organized right from pickup to drop off. The guides were exceptional; friendly, professional, and genuinely passionate. They made sure everyone felt comfortable and went above and beyond to create a fun and memorable experience for us. The activities were the highlight of the trip! We loved every moment of kayaking, snorkeling, sea tubing, and swimming in the ocean. Kayaking through the creeks was especially unique and peaceful, something we’ll never forget. Overall, this was one of the best experiences we’ve had. If you’re looking for an adventure packed with fun, beautiful scenery, and amazing guides, this is definitely the tour to book. Highly recommended!

Hubby and I had a great time, the crew was knowledgeable of K'GARI with a relaxed, easy going atmosphere. Great on board lunch with morning/afternoon tea options. Be prepared to be wet all day, with various water activities - Kayaks, swimming/floating, snorkeling and sand dune climb. Loved the more remote aspect.

Awesome trip, we had 3 stops on the boat and were transferred 3 times for different activities, walking, swimming, kayaking, snorkeling. And tubing. The staff was very efficient moving all the gear and guests to each stop. They served delicious morning and afternoon snacks as well as a great lunch. So much fun! Would definitely recommend this tour.

Nikki_H, Sep 2025
One of the best day tours we've done. Everything was well organised, well paced, loved seeing the more secluded parts of the island. It really is as beautiful as it looks in the photos! Super friendly and thoughtful staff who adapted activities to be suitable for my elderly father and helped him celebrate a very memorable birthday. Thank you!

It’s a while since this...

Louise_N, Jul 2025
It’s a while since this trip but feel now I should do the review. The trip was good and we all signed a form, however I had a bad accident which could have been avoided and was rushed to shore with a split head - with the sea biscuiting on the island . I went out with two Italians who had a go pro attached to their wrists- this should be a big no for safety, especially after filling a form in , they should show all due care and this was so scary especially in Aussie waters with blood. I hope this is going to be avoided for the future safety of people. The staff did refund us and took me to hospital where I had stitches , however I felt more could be done and more follow ups as now I’ve a scar on my forehead . I was so looking forward to this trip and will go back as up to that point it was fabulous. I wanted to swim with turtles and missed that part, but saw the huge amount of whales. I live in nz so will def go back and try do again.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Hi Louise, we are so glad to hear from you and taking the time to provide your feedback. Tasman Venture always has our passengers safety as a huge priority and your review and feedback is valuable. Following your tour with us we have made all of our staff aware of this to ensure that this event does not occur in the future. We would love to see you and your family back again and as previously discussed please let us know when you are in the region and we will arrange this at no cost to you or your family.

Really wonderful day with the Tasman Ventures team: the pristine west coast of K’Gari is stunning, the day goes on with flawless organization, great attention of staff to everyone, and a lot of different activities all centered on discovering the beauty of K’Gari. Boat and Sealegs are great, food was good. A truly magical day !

Guides were really friendly, that was a sunny and beautiful day! Kayaking in the mangrove was really amazing. Thanks a lot. I recommand.

Fantastic day

Michael_K, Nov 2024
The crew were amazing full of life and very helpful. Location and activities were great. Food was great

100% amazing!

Dean_F, Nov 2024
An absolutely outstanding day trip! I highly recommend taking this full day excursion with Tasman Venture. Incredible value, and a plethora of things to do and see; beaches, kayaking, sand dune exploring, whale watching et al. The skipper and owner-operator Lloyd is the best in the business and his crew (Jimbo, Angus and Cassie) are knowledgeable, friendly and ensure you get the optimal time & experience on Fraser Island. Well done and thank you. Dean

Fantastic day out!

Sarah_M, Nov 2024
The whole team was lovely and gave me a fantastic day. We went snorkeling, kayaking, swimming and ended up coming across some whales just out of season so we followed and got a fantastic look at them. It was a fantastic day out, kept well fed and plenty of adventure. Highly recomeded as we also went to some of the 'lesser known' areas which allowed it to not be packed with tourists and you could really take in the beauty of K'gari. Thanks team.

Beautiful beaches and whale watching! Amazing!

Stephen_B, Oct 2024
Genuinely fantastic, the whole day was amazing, from the kayaking through some of the streams to being pulled around tubbing just off the beach, walking along the pristine beaches and getting to do some snorkelling and swimming in Crystal clear waters! Would highly recommend! The whale watching part was amazing! Got to see a young calf breaching right beside the boat during our tour, it was spectacular! (Need to go during the right season to see the whales)!!

AWESOME

Donna_G, Oct 2024
Awesome. Had a great day doing all sorts of things. From canoeing, whale watching and going on an inflatable behind a speed boat. Even had free time to explore and go for a swim. The food onboard was so yummy. The staff catered for everyone's needs.

Life experience

Toby_C, Oct 2024
1) The crew were all fantastic! Very informative with information regarding the wales, and a good laugh too!! 2) Lots of activities included with this tour (tubing, whale watching, kayaking & snorkelling) all of which were great fun. We saw loads of Whales and the crew were great at providing loads of information about them.
