From Full Day Whale Watching - Freedom III - Hervey Bay
We are thrilled that you had such a wonderful experience onboard Freedom III. Dave, our very obliging bus driver and deckhand was very impressed with the picture your son drew for him. Almost had him in tears. We hope to welcome you back onboard next time you visit Australia, Safe travels from us all at Freedom Whale Watch!

Super Erlebnis. Highlight unserer Australienreise
Ein absolutes Muss für Jeden! Ein unvergleichliches Erlebnis, dass vieles in den Schatten stellt. Die Crew der Freedom III hat uns so nah an die Buckelwale gebracht, wie nur irgend möglich. Das Essen war super. Insgesamt ein sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis und alles in allem deutlich besser als erwartet.

Had a great day
My husband and I had a great day. We were lucky that the weather was great and there were lots of whales, mother and calves, breaches and fun slapping. Having said this the Captain communicated with other ships who had sighted whales and he travelled to these areas so that we could see and enjoy. The staff was great, the captain very amusing with his commentary and the food was plentiful and yummy. The seating was great and viewing areas abundant. There were 49 of us (Maxim capacity is 50) and the seating, viewing, food, staff attention etc was great. A 10 out of 10 from us.

Thanks for your lovely review Dorothy. We are very pleased that you really enjoyed all aspects of the boat and found the whales antics engaging. It is great when the boats work together to give the passengers the very best experience so they will hopefully spread the word that Hervey Bay is the best place to go whale watching. We hope to see you on Freedom again in the future.

Freedom 111 the best day trip we've ever had
From the moment we were picked up the bus driver made us feel welcome, his stories and banter had us all laughing. The staff on board were fabulous. The meals were incredible, especially those profitta rolls!!!! We saw so many whales we couldn't believe it. Had such a great time. Highly recommend!!!

Unglaublich und unvergesslich
AMAZING!! Wir haben den Tag über viele Wale gesehen (und auch Delphine) - zum Greifen nah am, unter und beim Boot. Einfach gigantisch. Die Wale haben offensichtlich Tourist-Watching gemacht (man soll winken und sich bemerkbar machen: sie sehen das tatsächlich und sind neugierig...). Ein unglaubliches Erlebnis - auch für die Jungs (7 und 9 Jahre). Diese majestätischen Riesentiere mit ihrer Anmut und Ruhe und trotzdem dieser Neugierde auf uns, zum Greifen nahe - Wahnsinn! Die Verpflegung war lecker, die Crew total nett und die anderen Touris auch sehr freundlich. Die Krönung: eine im pick-up Bus vergessene Sonnenbrille wurde uns am nächsten Tag zu unserem Campgroubg gebracht - vielen Dank auch dafür nochmal!
