Absolutely perfect - This tour has been a highlight for me and my partner travelling the east coast of australia. The tour takes you to the remote part of fraser island, we were the only people on the beach! The views were absolutely stunning. We loved the kayaking down the fresh water creeks, and using the inflatable on the sea. Our favourite part was the snorkelling, we were so lucky and were able to see tons of fish, a turtle, a sting ray and a black tip shark. We also saw some dolphins. The staff were amazing too. They were super accommodating and made sure we were kept entertained and informed the whole time. Would 100% recommend this tour! Great value for money, amazing!!!!

I could marry K'gari - What an insane place. The location and tour itself were a 5/5. We saw turtles and sharks. Went kayaking swimming and all at a relaxing and super fun pace. The guides on our tour made the experience 6/5 though. Cassie, Angus, Jackson and expert boat captain man whoms name I didnt catch were all super cool, kind and fun. They are great at their job and probably deserve a raise. Thanks tasman ventures :)

Outstanding island - An outstanding experience. The day is packed with activities led by an awesome, knowledgeable and engaging crew. You do have plenty of time in each stage to enjoy the island and soak in the nature, the island offers so much. Along the way we encountered dolphins, dingos, turtles and a variety of sealife when snorkeling. We were out of whale season (make sure you check). The buffet was tasty with lots of salads on offer and cold beer (paid for) washes away that island sun. We would strongly recommend this experience as we are interested in returning.

Awesome day trip and great way to see the island and experience it!! - Awesome day, I didn’t want it to end! Staff very attentive and super friendly and just did a fantastic job with all age groups and abilities!! They serve Tea twice and a beautiful lunch and had vegetarian options! Loved that I got to kayak and snorkel (first time snorkeling a mangrove forest), it was very well organized and they kept you as busy as you wanted!! Three stops on the island to explore, each remarkably beautiful and isolated! Saw dolphins and dingos! Highly recommend this operator and boat!!

Hervey Bay K’gari full day nature soooo great - The day was truly amazing and it was a full day Toni , Cassie and the skipper were all exceptional. I think we had a medium sized group on a perfect weather day. Toni insights above the Fresh Water Creek on our kayaking adventure were inspirational. I would highly recommend this trip and this company. Lots of food. Hotel pick time was great. Great mixture of nationalities and people thanks from Will (Canada)

Remote area day trip to K'gari - Great day trip with Damo and his staff to different parts of K'gari. The girls went out of their way to ensure that you enjoyed every aspect of the trip. The lunch was also excellent and we would easily recommend using this company. Thanks for a great day, husband particularly liked the tubing experience.

Best day ever - Could not recommend this experience more! Me and my sister went for the day and had the absolute best time. We went kayaking down 2 different creeks on the island, walked up a sand dune (optional), snorkelled with a turtle!!, small sharks, sting rays and fish, and finished the day boat tubing (which we got to do twice). All 3 of the people working on the boat worked extra hard to make the day fun for us and I wish I could do it all over again. The island is beautiful and we even met a few dingoes. I was unsure if the food would cater to vegetarians but there was a lot on offer and no one went hungry. We are so happy we went for this experience and you'd be stupid to not do it. Thanks again <3
