Make a day of it! Enjoy close encounters with friendly humpback whales while relaxing onboard a 58 foot luxury catamaran. Let our friendly crew spoil you while you take time to enjoy the humpback whales resting and playing around the boat in beautiful Platypus Bay alongside K'Gari (Fraser Island).
Enjoy a full day whale watching cruise on board a luxury 58 foot catamaran in Hervey Bay and along the islands and western beaches of K'Gari (Fraser Island) Dolphins, turtles, dugong and the occasional dingo may also be spotted. Get up close and personal when the whales come to people watch.
Enjoy freshly prepared morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea while observing the whales playing; exhibited behaviours such as tail slapping, fin waving, head lunges, spy hopping and breaching. During September and October, there is more chance you will see mother whales and their calves resting and playing in the Hervey Bay waters.
With four levels of viewing and a water level platform, along with an experienced and friendly crew, this is the ultimate way to experience these incredible creatures.
Freedom III is not wheelchair friendly. A good level of mobility is needed to move around the vessel. There are steps down to the marine toilets but the third bathroom is situated in the wheelhouse and is easier to access.
There is a maximum of 48 participants on board.
The captain will determine changes to procedure due to weather. Passengers are given relevant warning if the weather looks to be unfavourable. Passengers may be advised to reschedule if they feel the need to. If cancelled by captain, bookings will be rescheduled if able or fully refunded.
No heels please. Dresses are not the best choice on windy days. Good fitting hats and sunglasses are recommended. White soled, non- slip rubber soles are best. A rain proof jacket is advisable.

RedBalloon is your one-stop shop for experiences and curated gifts. We’re so confident you’ll love what you get from us, we’re offering this promise to you…
We want you to have the most enriching experience possible, so if this means swapping your jet boat experience for wine tasting then we’ve got you covered. Simply exchange online or contact our Customer Experience Team and we’ll do the work for you.
Not only do we handpick the best experiences for you, we also guarantee you’ll pay the same as you would buying direct from the experience provider. If you find the same experience advertised at a lower standard price on the same day by the same provider, simply take a screenshot of the experience advertised at the lower price and tell us within 30 days of your purchase and we’ll match it.
We understand life gets busy, which is why all vouchers and gift cards purchased have a 5-year expiry. The only exception to our expiry terms is if the experience has already been booked in. We honour the purchase price of our experiences for 18 months. If you book your experience after this time and the price of the experience increases you can either pay the difference or exchange it for another experience free of charge.
We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That’s why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author’s experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.
