I went on a half day whale watching trip with Salty Safaris in late August 2025. We were super lucky and were able to swim with the whales - we had two adult humpbacks that came within a metre of us and circled the boat for over an hour. There were ten of us in the water at a time, wearing weatsuits, and you have to hang on to the rope and flotation devices at the back of the boat. Swimming so close to the whales was absolutely incredible and without a doubt one of the best things I have ever, ever done. Bruce and Annika were very fun and knowledgable and Bruce was very skilled at finding "playful" whales that would come and swim with us. I cannot recommend these guys highly enough - I went back on the boat for the afternoon boat trip, and have booked in to go with them again in two weeks. I've done about 15 whale watching trips over the years and this one is undoubtedly the best. A small boat so only 18 passengers and close to the water and all the action. Note that if you want to swim with the whales this is not guaranteed and only runs til about 14 September as after this date there are too many calves, and you are not permitted in the water when there are calves nearby. The swimming is also of course dependant on weather and wind and the whales cooperating. But even if we hadn't been able to swim, this was still a fabulous experience. Highly recommended!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow oh wow what a morning we had. Multiple whale pods playing and we were absolutely honoured to swim beside these majestic creatures. The crew were so enthusiastic and really looked after us. Highly recommended

Small group. Personalised experience. Great crew members. I not only watched the whales but also snorkeled with them. One 9 metre long whole hang around the boat for 40 minutes, putting up a spectacular display. The best experience so far.

Salty Safaris was a phenomenal experience! Don't let the small boat put you off. It's as close as you can possibly get to the whales. If you're looking for a truely intimate and close to the action experience then this is the tour for you. The team were really friendly and did everything they could to make it a trip to remember. It was lovely to see how excited and passionate they were about the Whales too. They checked in on each group individually and took time to talk to us all, get photos and generally just make it a fun trip especially with the reggae music! We couldn't recommend it enough and already want to come again!

An amazing day with the whales and the best whale experience I have enjoyed. The whales came so close to the boat and it didn’t matter if you were in the water on hanging over the side, it was pure joy. Getting into the water was fairly easy and there were wetsuits on the boat for swimmers. The island stop was a pleasant break and the finale as we arrived back at the harbour was priceless. A great day out and highly recommended.

Wow, what a great tour! We booked the half-day excursion WHALES & BEACHES in the morning as a family with two children (7 and 11). It was a unique experience that we will always remember. We saw a group of 7 large humpback whales and they swam around our boat for over 90 minutes. It was a deeply impressive encounter. The whales hit with the flukes, turned and jumped. Absolutely breathtaking! In the first hour we were alone with the whales, no other boat nearby. Thanks to Bruce and Anika we had a great tour and we really enjoyed being on a small boat with a group of less than 20 people.

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.

My partner and I went on the half day tour! We weren’t expecting to see many whales however we saw so many and I couldn’t help my excited self! There was a pod of 9 whales at one point. We also saw some dolphins and a turtle. The food pack was yum and the crew was amazing at educating us on facts about the islands and the sea life. I would highly recommend doing a tour with the Salty crew!
