Amazing - It was a great tour, we had a lot of fun cruising around with the fast boat, enjoyed the islands, paddle boards, snorkelling and the sun. We saw a turtle.

K’gari Salty Safari - the best way to see Fraser Island by water! - We arranged a private group booking and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We had a mix of adults, teenagers and children. Sam and Liberty made us feel so welcomed, sharing their extensive local knowledge and showing the magical western side of K’Gari (Fraser Island). Sam had a cheeky sense of humour appreciated by all. We would all highly recommend this trip to visitors or locals. Excellent value for money. Thank you all. When arranging the day, Tahni was very helpful and accomodating. Absolutely would do this again!

BEST EXPERIENCE ON THE WATER EVER!!! - Salty Safari’s Western Wonders tour not only exceeded my expectations, but was hands down the best experience I have ever had out on the water! From start to finish, the crew had high energy, a sense of humour and stacks of local knowledge - its clear to see they love what they do. We were met with the thrill of cruising the ocean, weaving our way, taking in the beauty of K’Gari, yet made to feel so safe doing so. The tour was FANTASTIC, we never once felt rushed as we enjoyed snorkelling at Coffee rock with turtles, stopping for scenic pictures of Fraser Island, then hopping on to the Island to tick it off the bucket list and spending some time in the sun with activities provided (such as beach cricket, stand up paddle boarding, beach soccer/football, quoits etc!) We were blessed with a stop at Pelican Bank for lunch which just absolutely topped the day off, swimming in pristine blue waters.
I can’t recommend them enough! Thanks Sam & Liberty for an epic day! I will be back and bringing more friends/family to enjoy everything you have to offer.

Fun day out on the water - Fun day out along the island, boat was comfortable and the snorkel with a turtle was a highlight. Kids loved puddling around in the creek and swimming from the beach. A great way to spend the first day of the new year!
