Outstanding day yesterday with Freedom 111 out of Hervey Bay. Our second trip with this company. Whales galore and what a show. Freedom111 crew were outstanding and the food terrific. An absolutely wonderful day out. We will do it again.

My partner and I went on the half day tour! We weren’t expecting to see many whales however we saw so many and I couldn’t help my excited self! There was a pod of 9 whales at one point. We also saw some dolphins and a turtle. The food pack was yum and the crew was amazing at educating us on facts...

I would highly recommend doing a tour with the Salty crew!
