Freedom Ecotours

Sustainability Commitment

At Freedom Whale Watch, we are deeply committed to safeguarding the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Australia’s stunning marine ecosystems. Operating in harmony with the environment, we implement sustainable practices to ensure future generations can experience the wonders of Hervey Bay and its surroundings. Our vessels operate with fuel-efficient engines and adhere to strict speed limits and designated routes to minimize impacts on marine life, particularly the magnificent humpback whales that frequent our waters. We strive to reduce waste by maintaining a zero-plastic policy onboard, using biodegradable materials, and encouraging our guests to participate in responsible tourism. Cultural responsibility is at the heart of our operations. We collaborate with local Indigenous groups to share their stories and knowledge, promoting respect and awareness of the rich cultural significance of these waters. Freedom Whale Watch also contributes to marine conservation efforts, partnering with research organizations to monitor whale populations and health. We actively support community initiatives, such as local clean-up events and educational programs, fostering a collective spirit of environmental stewardship. Through these actions, we take pride in contributing to climate change resilience and inspiring our guests to become advocates for sustainability. Together, we can protect our oceans and preserve their beauty for generations to come.
