Our Whale Watching Hervey Bay Experience
Our 60-foot catamaran, Freedom III – formerly owned by renowned documentary filmmaker Ben Cropp – is purpose-built for comfort and stability. Including 360° views across three spacious decks and a unique water-level platform, you’ll have the perfect view of the whales in Hervey Bay. With air-conditioned saloon, indoor and outdoor seating, three toilets, expert crew and commentary, it’s no wonder we have a 5-star Google rating!
