Every day on K'gari (Fraser Island) is different, which is all part of the 4WD adventure! Once we get to Inksip Point, where we catch the ferry onto the island, we are driving on sand. Some days the tracks are quite smooth, other days they can be quite bumpy and rough. The condition of these tracks is determined largely by weather and by traffic on the island, making it difficult for us to predict in advance what the conditions will be like on any given day. Our guides are very skilled at driving these tracks, however in general you can expect for there to be a few bumps along the way.

For those that join the tour in Noosa, there will be travel time involved between Noosa and Rainbow Beach, which is generally 1.5 hours each way. If you're concerned about the length of the day, you can still enjoy the same K'gari (Fraser Island) experience with us by joining and departing in Rainbow Beach instead of Noosa.

K'gari (Fraser Island) is also larger than it looks, being 123 kilometers long, with Lake McKenzie and Central Station located roughly a third of the way up the island. Being sand tracks with changing conditions, travel times on the island are not the same as you would expect on the mainland. When on the island, we stop for morning tea on the beach, visit Lake McKenzie for a swim and enjoy a walk through the rain forest. The rest of the tour will be travel time.

We want our guests to be as comfortable as possible throughout the day and therefore recommend they bring sun protection such as a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen as well as insect repellent. For those wishing to swim, bring along your swimwear and a towel. Don’t forget to bring along a camera to capture your memories from the day and a refillable water bottle to help prevent waste. Morning tea and lunch are included in your fare, however some guests like to bring a long a few snacks of their own.

Yes, swimming in Lake McKenzie has been a highlight for many passengers. It is made of some of the freshest water you can find and is a great way to cool down and refresh yourself.

To help keep this environment pristine, we ask that passengers apply any sunscreen at least 20 minutes before entering the water to ensure it is fully absorbed by the skin preventing excess pollutants from entering the waters. Being fresh water also, people find they don’t float as easily as they do in the sea. We therefore ask guests to be mindful of their own swimming abilities.

To maximise our time on K'gari (Fraser Island), we have chosen several key accommodation providers and shuttle pick-up points located in the greater Noosa area and one central pick-up point in Rainbow Beach. We have selected these to ensure no matter where you choose to stay in Noosa, there will be a pick-up point nearby to you.

Pickup times start at 5.45 am in Noosa

Pickup in Rainbow Beach is 8 am

Passengers returning to Rainbow Beach can expect to be dropped off around 4:30 p.m., and passengers departing Noosa can expect to be dropped off around 7 p.m.

Our tours don’t go via Hervey Bay and so we do not pick up from there.

Our vehicles have limited space available for storage. If you have luggage with you, we recommend you store your luggage for the day

Most dietary requirements can be catered for if we are given advance notice. We recommend anyone with dietary requirements notifies us at the time of booking.

Our tour is suitable for all fitness levels. The rainforest walk has an optional self-guided section which includes around 200 bush steps and is roughly 2 kilometres in length, which most people are able to complete. If you don’t feel you can complete this though, there is an option to do a wheelchair accessible walk at Central Station instead.

Getting in and out of the bus may be difficult for some people. The first step up can be quite high and the exact height varies depending on where the bus is parked due to the sand car parks. Of course we are happy to assist if you require.

Due to child vehicle restraint laws in QLD and limited anchor points for child booster seats we unfortunately cannot take children under the age of 8 years.

For children over 8 years, we ask parents to consider if the tour is suitable for your particular child due the length of the day, the length of time spent on the bus and the limited amenities for attending to children throughout the day.

K'gari (Fraser Island) is beautiful in all types of weather, particularly the rainforest which really comes alive when it rains. Tours will go ahead during any weather unless it poses a safety risk to passengers.

K'gari (Fraser Island) is home to around 200 wild dingoes and we do see them on many of our tours. They are wild animals though and we encourage them to maintain their natural instincts and behaviours by refraining from trying to attract them. This makes every day different and special and means that we can’t guarantee sightings on every tour.
