Board Freedom at 9.10am, ready for departure at 9.30am. The relaxed and scenic tour departs from Berth 4A at the Great Sandy Straits Marina in Urangan Harbour. Onboard our comfortableful, 58ft catamaran, we pass Round Island, the Urangan Jetty and Big Woody Island and then head towards Platypus Bay where the whales will be sighted! The tour usually follows much of the Western Beaches of K'gari. It may be possible to witness many different whale behaviours, and, because we have all day, we can spend more time with the whales, witnessing them express their natural behaviours and often approaching the boat to check us out as we wave and call them in to us! Other marine animals, such as dolphins, turtles and sea birds may be observed as well. Guests will be offered morning tea, buffet lunch and afternoon tea during the tour. Free tea, coffe and water is available all day and other soft drinks or alcohol can be purchased on board as well. With three viewing platforms plus water level, you will have 360 degree views. We have a comfortable saloon, three toilets and a wonderful, friendly crew to look after you while you have the experience of a lifetime!
