Perfekter Tag

Die Tour mit salty Safaris war wirklich fantastisch, richtig tolle Musik beim Bootfahren. Die beiden Guides sind total freundlich und hilfsbereit. Besonders gut hat mir gefallen, dass man in kleinen Gruppen unterwegs ist und der Tag total entspannt und relaxt ist. Kann die Tour nur jedem empfehlen, der einen tollen Tag auf und rund um fraser island verbringen will.

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.

WOW! Thank you for your amazing review Peter and for taking the time to share your experience. Yes our Crew are LEGENDS! Captain Sam loves getting our guests out and making sure they have the best day possible so we are glad this shows through. We hope we can get you back out on the water sometime in the future. Kind Regards, Salty Safaris
