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.

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 lovedโฆ smaller group and closer to the water.
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.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a wonderful review! I will pass the comments onto the crew! We're stoked you had a great day out with the Salty team and would like to thank you for choosing us! We hope to see you next time for another Salty adventure! Warm Regards, Bruce
The whales came up close to the boat, fantastic day, thanks Mark and crew.
Thanks so much for the 5 stars! We are so happy you had a great day with us. As a small business, reviews like this go a long way and are greatly appreciated! So thank you again, we hope to see you again on board for another salty adventure! Take care! Salty Team ๐
We were within 1 metre of the whales
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 ๐
