5.00Paul was a great guide for our day on Fraser Island! The tour was comprehensive with history of the island and seeing the iconic sights. We were even able to see some whales in the distance! Even in the winter the water wasn’t too chilly. Overall this tour was fun and informative!
Fantastic day trip

5.00We had an enjoyable day on this tour. The day starts a bit laborious with a quite lengthy drive on the beach to the shipwreck. This is understandable though considering the size of the island. Then a stop to Eli Creek. Lake McKenzie and the rainforest walk. The dip in the lake was a standout ,but I think a little more effort could go into the morning tea and lunch provided, especially seeing as the rival company were offering beer and wine, while we just had juice and tea/coffee. The rainforest walk was outstanding. Overall, it's a long day but very enjoyable and worthwhile. BTW, our playlist on the bus was amazing!!
Great day on K'gari with Dan

3.00Lol, Im surprised this is even an option. The bus was an hour late due to poor tire conditions resulting in the driver scrambling to find a different bus at 6am which resulted in the tour being cut short. If it wasnt for our amazing tour guide the trip would have been canceled. On the way home we blew a tire, the bus was missing tools, we managed to get the tire changed to find out the spare tire was also leaking leaking air. Limped the bus back to the fairy. Our guide was so good, he kept his cool dispite having a treacherous day, he made for quite an entertaining trip dispite the set backs. The island was beautiful, Discovery tours could use some help in the maintenance department.
10/10 fun was had

5.00Jenai, you flipping legend. Such a fun day, wish we could have stayed for more. Thanks for keeping us company on your day off. P.S. Jellyfish are born through a complex, multi-stage life cycle, starting as fertilized eggs that hatch into larva (planula) and settle onto a hard surface to become polyps. These polyps clone themselves before eventually segmenting and releasing tiny, swimming juvenile jellyfish called ephyra, which grow into adult medusae.
Outstanding natural beauty

5.00Stunning day trip to paradise. Our guide, Dan F, was fantastic, very knowledgeable and down to earth. Ferry over, 4WD ride to our stop and had swam in Lake McKenzie, had a beautiful, guided walk through a small piece of rainforest, spotted 3 dingos and had a brilliant day. It’s a bouncy ride but so worth it for the scenery and experience. If you appreciate natural beauty, then don’t miss this trip.
Amazing…. You’ve got to go!

5.00What a brilliant day. Picked up in Rainbow Beach and our guide, Dan was down to earth and had lots of interesting information to share. The 4WD vehicle was comfortable and very bouncy. K’gari met all our expectations, we saw dingoes, walked in the rainforest, swam in a fresh water lake and visited the shipwreck. Lunch was delicious and we had afternoon snacks too. Great tunes on the bus too! Couldn’t have asked for a better day and thanks Dan for great driving.
