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!!!

Well worth the money

Absolutely stunning day out yesterday. Multiple whales putting on a full show of their skills. Great food, heaps of it too. Friendly, informative and enthusiastic crew. Thank you all for a cracker of a day.

Despite the choppy sea conditions and probably because of them the whales put on a great show yesterday. We appreciate your positive review and hope to see you onboard again in the future.
