Join K'Gari Salty Safaris for an unforgettable whale watching adventure in Hervey Bay and K'gari (Fraser Island). This adventure allows you to cruise the western coast and waterways between K'gari (Fraser Island) and Hervey Bay, even if you're short on time.
After checking in, hop on board and receive a run-down of the day and a safety briefing. Once we leave the harbour, we'll enjoy music, showcase the boat's water-acrobatics, and go with the flow of the tides. Our experienced skippers tailor the itinerary based on the weather and passengers' interests for the best possible experience.
Onboard the 'Wipe Out' you'll be immersed in a thrilling exploration surrounded by breathtaking beauty above and below the surface. Witness the wonders of nature at Queensland's renowned Whale Heritage Site and cruise on the pristine waters of K'Gari's Western side, including Platypus Bay, where humpback whales seek refuge from July to October.Equipped with a sun protection roof, this vessel brings you closest to the waterline in the Bay, providing the ideal platform for an up close and personal encounter with these magnificent creatures.
When not cruising or exploring various hotspots, you'll have plenty of opportunities to swim, snorkel, sunbathe, or play sports like beach cricket, frisbee, or footy. You can also join a guided walk to learn more about the area.

Safaris Whale Tour - AMAZING!
This tour is a must book for whale experiences which includes swimming with the whales. The crew were a friendly professional duo and made to to capture whale sightings. The boat is smaller than most but fast, which we loved… smaller group and closer to the water.

Unforgettable experience
Absolutely amazing experience. Seeing the whales up close from the boat was great, but to be able to swim with these giants was simply bucket list stuff. These amazing creatures were barely centimetres away from us while they inquisitively swam around. Highly recommend K'gari Salty Safaris. Thanks Mark and Liberty for an unforgettable day.

Thanks for the review! We might be the smallest boat but getting close is where we excel especially in our vessel Wipeout! Thanks for choosing Salty Safaris and we hope to see you again soon! Warm Regards, Salty Team 🙂
