Hello! We are Freedom Whale Watch
About

Freedom III’s main service is providing a fantastic whale watching experience in Hervey Bay. Whale watching takes place from mid July to late October every year when the whales travel to warmer waters to give birth and raise their young. Eco-accredited through Eco Tourism Australia so we do our best to look after our wonderful environment and the marine life it provides shelter for. The boat is a 17.6 Metre power catamaran which can take up to 49 passengers out to see the whales. It is also available for private functions, overnight charters and Mother-shipping in Hervey Bay. Delicious food and friendly, caring service are our strengths.

we just had the most amazing day. We have done whale watching before, but nothing compares to today’s experience. Everything was perfect - the crew, the boat, the food, the experience and of course the whales (who kept us entertained for hours). Highly recommended day

Capt Toni, Rhys and Adam were fantastic on our voyage to see the whales. I couldn't fault them at all. We had the perfect day, sunny with clear skies and seas. It was clear that all the boats out were working together to not only ensure the best opportunity for whale sightings, but taking the utmost care and precautions to prevent any harm to the whales - which was a wonderful show of respect for these gracious creatures. The food was plentiful, the music was playing and its clear our crew love their work. I have never been more in awe than the moment 2 inquisitive humpback whales came to the bow of the boat to check we tiny humans out. I felt transformed by meeting these gentle giants in such beautiful circumstances and I am grateful to the whole team for making this possible. Keep up the great work guys, our sea life needs more ambassadors like you. ❤️

Beyond all expectations! This was our first time whale watching and 3 days into the season I wasn't expecting too much...how wrong I was! The skipper Keith (who has some great dance moves) and the crew were friendly, professional, knowledgable and very informative during the cruise. The food was excellent especially the home made morning tea. But the main attraction of course are the whales, and boy did we get up close and personal! The encounters were beautiful, and lasted for ages with inquisitive whales surfacing right next to the boat (have your cameras ready!). There was also lots of excitment with dolphins, turtles and amazing scenery. Great value for money. I can't wait to go out on Freedom III again!

We had a beautiful day on the Freedom 111. Captain Toni and crew were extremely attentive, knowledgeable and lovely people. The food was delicious and my coeliac friend was well catered for. The whales were amazing, we saw so many and we had an all round magical day. We would highly recommend Freedom and we will return.
