Great day out, good vibes

Had a wicked good day on Salty Safaris with very competent and informative skippers. Beautiful vessel that made for a very comfortable ride. Wonderful views of K’gari, Big woody and Pelican islands. Drinks, tunes and all round good vibes. Definitely hop on a tour again with such great operators when we visit the area again. Thanks again Heath and Co! ❤️☺️

Salty safari

What a great way to spend the day touring on a fast power boat along the magnificent west coast of Fraser Island. Our captain Sam was brilliant and funny and his able assistant Liberty made sure we all had a wonderful time. I highly recommend the tour but as the description says be prepared to get splashed at the very least, as the boat travels between the islands.
