What Travellers Say About K'gari Island Tours
“Butch was great! Very knowledgeable and friendly! Will definitely be back! Lake Mackenzie and seeing the dingos was my highlight!”
“Weekend of a lifetime! We had a fantastic group of people which made the 3 day trip amazing, full of laughs and jokes. Shout out Amy!”
“We saw so many whales that came right up to the boat. The boat had many viewing points and wasn’t overcrowded. The captain was extremely informative and the crew were lovely.”
“Our half day whale watching on the Tasman Venture was amazing! As well as the magnificence of the whales, the staff were all so friendly and helpful. I learnt so much about the whales.”
