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.

Amazing day with the whales
What a magnificent day, did not disappoint. Tony was an awesome captain, and VIK and Kieren were the attentive and friendly crew. The whales were numerous and interactive. I couldn’t recommend this experience highly enough. We would definitely do this again.

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!
