Absolutely fantastic time on a Sunday out for a private charter , day cruise with friends. The crew were professional but also entertaining, friendly and do anything to make sure you were comfortable and having a blast. The lunch provided was very tasty and plentiful Totally recommend freedom , whether it’s a private charter or out whale watching.

When we are back again to visit our familie we will book a charter with you again! We will remember this day for ever….. Vicky Weisz2024-10-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you from all of us! The K’gari Daydream Cruise was amazing! The boat is comfortable and very well equipped, the crew friendly, informative and interactive, lunch was fantastic and the company warm. Our Dutch visitors are amazed that we have this in our backyard and are already planning to return for whale watching season. We highly recommend Freedom Ecotours for a great day out in natures playground Terri Brattusa2024-10-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 3 words to describe this incredible experience; WOW, WOW, WOW! Due to the incredible staff, fabulous boat & the most accommodating whales, our day out with Freedom Ecotours exceeded all of our expectations! Thanks Mark for your very informative commentary & for ensuring that the vessels' proximity to the whales did not intimidate or interfere with their mind blowing exhibition. From the male whales deciding which females to impress, to the clever mummy whales teaching their babies how to survive, all on board were witness to this amazing spectacle of love & survival! Food was yummy, not to mention abundant, & for those of us that love a beer or champagne while enjoying a special day out, the bar was well stocked. Due to unforeseen circumstances we had to change the date of our cruise to the following week but as we had booked directly with Andrea, this was no issue at all. I strongly recommend dealing with these guys instead of a 3rd party as nothing is too much trouble for them. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough! WOW! Mike Robinson2024-10-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Went out on friday 18/10. Left on time, in a comfortable clean ship. 2 person female crew who did a fantastic job of spotting whales and food catering for us. Been in Hervey Bay for 6 years, been whale watching on 7 ships and this was by far the best of all. Saw 5 pods as well as a chase pod (never seen one before). A very good day out and received great friendly service. Mike Robinson William Young2024-10-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stunning experience and fantastic value for money. The only business offering a full day not a half day. Loved the extra time out on the water.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

EXCELLENT Based on 799 reviews Wolfgang K2024-10-10Verified Schönes Erlebnis! Ein tolles Erlebnis! Die Crew war sehr freundlich und engagiert um möglichst viele Wale zu finden. Das angebotene Essen war gut und frisch. Cathy M2024-09-22Verified Wonderful day on the Freedom III We went whale watching on the Gold Coast and in Alaska previously and were disappointed that we only saw a few whales in the distance. This tour was completely different.We had a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable captain. She was very tuned in to the behaviour of the whales and was careful to shut the engine off so that the animals were not disturbed. This also allowed the whales to come over to the boat to have a look if they wanted to. We could hear the whales calling to each other and moving about in the water.We saw adults and juveniles, many whales that were breaching and fluking. The boat was small enough so that it could be maneuvered easily to get a good view of what was happening.It was good that the tour is 3/4 of a day so that if it is quiet in the morning you have the afternoon to catch the action. The captain was in radio contact with the other whale watching boats so that if something interesting was happening we were able to get to the spot very quickly. We were treated to delicious food - morning and afternoon teas and lunch, by very friendly, helpful staff.On the way back we passed by Fraser Island to see the coloured sands. We would like to come back next year.This tour is great value for money. Doug N2024-09-15Verified Whales whales whales Absolutely loved it . If you’re ever in Hervey Bay this experience is not to be missed . The crew did a great job sharing information about the marine ecology of humpback whales and other denisons of K’gari . Food and catering are on par with land based fancy restaurants . I cannot believe what good value this trip is. Allison D2024-09-15Verified Best whale watching experience Just brilliant!! The boat was fabulous and the crew superb. Great views of the whales, totally worth every cent. Can’t recommend enough. Sandie P2024-09-12Verified Paradise on water Everything was wonderful which includes the crew. Not too many people so lots of viewing space. Perfect day. Eould highly recommend it Michele D2024-09-10Verified Great Trip! I’ve been on many whale watching adventures and this was one of the top experiences. The crew was passionate and put a ton of energy in. The boat owner was onboard during our trip and he seems like a great person which is likely why he keeps a great crew. Our whale experience was a top especially for humpbacks. Highly recommend Freedom and the full day. The whales and crew will make it worth it. Caroline Y2024-09-04Verified Fantastic Day. Thankyou ! Fabulous day thank you. Whales, Whales and more Whales. !! We had 2 juveniles playing around us for 30 mins. Many many whales near the boat, mums and calf’s. So beautiful ! Freedom is a great boat. Plenty of space to move around and sit comfortably. Fantastic crew. Toni the skipper , expertly navigated the waves as quite windy and we had a smooth trip. Lovely to have Mark, skipper and owner on board and to be able to sit with them in the Bridge. Bec really knowledgable about whales , as are all the crew. They were all passionate about the boat , whales and giving their guests a comfortable and enjoyable time. The morning tea and warm fresh scones, afternoon tea fruit and cheese and biscuits and delicious buffet lunch, all added to an absolutely brilliant day ! So so glad we joined you today. Thank you team Freedom. ! Top Hat Charlie2024-08-28Verified Freedom3 Hervey Bay Whale Watching. FANTASTIC! What an amazing trip. Where to start. The skipper Toni, an amazing lady with so much enthusiasm, actually jumping up and down calling in the whales, and her knowledge of whales was second to none, She has been with the same boat for six years which highlights her knowledge and experience The whole crew were great and helpful. The boat is more intimate than most, there was morning tea with scones and pastry rolls, lunch was varied and great and then there was afternoon tea as well, with fruit cheese and biscuits. Music often played in the background and was also very good, a great selection.The trip lasted more than six hours and whales were everywhere, not only in the distance but they often swam around and under the boat, rolling, flapping and there was a couple of breeches as well. a most unusual sight. We then got to see some of the magical places on K'gari (Fraser Island), from the boat of course, it is the largest sand island in the world being 125K's long and 25k's wide at its widest.This was probably one of the best trips I have ever been on, and what's more it was very affordable, a truly great day out, and I got a free stubby cooler as well! I more than highly recommend the Freedom3 experience, but try and book early as the trips appear to be often booked out.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
