4.00Picked up at the Surf Club and short trip to the ferry, nice trip along the beach and into the rainforest. Cuppa and cake followed by the lake and lunch, very bumpy decent back to the beach. Stopping off at the wreck and the stream, managed to see three dingos too. The tour guide was awesome and really funny. Enjoyed the day but was glad to get off at the end, a lot of travelling involved in the trip.

5.00If you would like a comprehensive visit to this UNESCO World Heritage site, this is a MUST tour. We were TOTALLY impressed by the amount of ground we covered while seeing so much of K'gari. Moreover, among other things, we saw numerous dingoes, experienced a unique rain forest, got to swim in a fresh water lake, and saw a historical ship wreck. Meanwhile, others on the tour also tubed down a freshwater creek and took an airplane flight of the island, taking-off/landing right off the beach. This was definitely a first-class tour complete with expert commentary.

5.00We had a very nice and informative tour of Fraser Island with Jess. She went to great lengths to make us feel comfortable and provided us with interesting facts all the time. The tour is a perfect way to explore this fascinating island in a short time. Highly recommended.

4.00We had a lovely day. Weather was outstanding. Our guide, Paul, was fun and knowledgeable. They took excellent care with my celiac request for a special diet. The tides were unusually high, which meant our schedule had to be adjusted. As much as we loved the two major excursions (Lake McKenzie and Eli Creek) it felt like more driving than anything else. This isn’t anyone’s fault. It’s a big place. But day trippers should be aware that there is a lot of driving. And bring your own tubes to Eli Creek if you want to tube it rather than just walk down the creek.
Disappointed and over priced for what was provided.

2.00Tour operator arrived 35 minutes late without a reasonable explanation. One of the two major activities had very minimal time allocation and they didn’t provide the equipment required for the experience - no floaties for Eli Creek. Food was extremely basic.
Top Day with the Family!

5.00Amazing day with our fantastic tour guide Hannah. TIP: Take your own inflatables and a small electric pump with you for the Eli Creek experience.
