We arrived late into Hervey Bay so booked onto Freedom for the next morning after hastily locating a tour which would take us so late in the day - serendipitous of us!
The boat was well equipped with lots of space and different sitting areas and the crew were really friendly and professional. Coffee, tea and soft drinks were complimentary throughout the day which was a nice touch. Morning tea of scones (freshly baked and still warm - yes that is possible on a boat!) with jam and cream and profiteroles was delicious! Lunch of cold meats, chicken wings (hot from the oven), salads and freshly baked bread rolls was also delicious.
Despite it being close to the end of the season we saw lots of whales (mostly mums and calves) splashing about and literally 'having a whale of a time' off the coast of Hervey Bay. The crew communicated with other boats in the area and were patient and knowledgeable about getting us to the best spots to see whales.
A wonderful day - we have great photos and memories from the tour, highly highly recommended - you have a lot of choice in Hervey Bay but I would really encourage you to go with Freedom!
