5.00Paradise Island… this place is rather surreal. And I really believe the best way to see it is with the K’gari two day explorer tour. Blair was a right laugh, full of charisma and made this experience a joy. The 4WD busses are rather hilarious, throwing you around over all the bumps and getting you to all the most incredible places that you have to see to believe, the most unique island in the world surely, the sights and experiences on this trip will not be replicated. Thank you Blair. Adam
Amazing

5.00The 4WD bus is an excellent way to see the incredible K'gari island. Our guide Blair was great - entertaining, educational and safe.
A lot seen and experienced with our enthusiastic guide Dean.

5.00Dean, our guide is an enthusiastic guy who guided us the two days just fine. He knew a lot to tell!! Otherwise the trip was fine for each other. Everything was taken care of and arranged to perfection!
an adventure and not just a tour!

5.00Like our Tourguide said, we will have an adventure not just a tour and we got it. Dean, our guide was a really nice guy, joked always around and made the two days memorable. We were 28 people on the bus but it didn't feel like it - also the spots truly crowded but enough space for everyone to really enjoy these highlights. Good start for the first time on the island and to get a first impression. Highly recommended!
I wish the tour lasted another two days!

5.00I have undertaken quite a few day and several day tours in Australia now, and this tour to K’Gari is now officially sharing the title of the best tour of my whole trip. The scenery and the whole experience is so unique that I was literally holding back my tears from being overwhelmed. In addition to that our tour guide Dave O. took a really good care of the group, being not only extremely knowledgeable, but also simply a good chat and a pleasant personality. Highly recommended combination!
We had so much fun!

5.00“Hi, my name is Keith and we’re gonna have so fcking much fun”. The opening words of our guide, who will pick us up at the Ferry on K’Gari, the largest sand island in the world. And he didn't lie a word of it. We had 2 great days at K’Gari / Fraser Island. The bus was great to be transported in. We hesitated to go with a jeep, but the bus overtook all the cars on the way as that thing had quite a bit of power. We liked that our guide could drive him well, knew his way around and meanwhile told us all about the island. A lot more relaxing and also a faster one at the destinations. We often saw 8 people in the cars, so think we made the right choice. Also nice with air conditioning by the way. The guide was really great, what a great guy with a lot of humor and a lot of knowledge. He always coordinated with the whole group what the options were and what we wanted first because of hunger and energy levels, and he also made sure that we were often only in normally busy locations. His wife worked at the resort and was ready for us to receive us for lunch, which was really delicious. Even the dinner (for a fee) was delicious, as was the breakfast (very extensive). The room was large and neatly maintained and fine to sleep one night. There was also a lovely swimming pool that we used before we left and still got delicious sandwiches. So Keith didn't lie about it, we had so much fun! Thanks 🙏 would definitely recommend this tour, was above expectations for me!
An experience around each corner .

5.00Really exciting and a learning experience , the cost was worth the drive alone. I would never have driven there. Taylah was an exceptional driver. As a truck driver I appreciate her skills. Her knowledge of the island was even better than I expected. If there was a down side it was the food at buffet.

5.00We had a wonderful 3 day getaway on K’Gari. The island is stunning and the variety of lakes, sights and places we visited was amazing! Our coach driver and guide, Pete,was very knowledgeable about the history of the Butchella people and the island’s fauna and flora. He was friendly and amiable.
Incredible 2 day tour of K’gari!

5.00Incredible 2 day tour of K’gari, our group of 20 was friendly and our guide Keith exceptional! Funny and so interesting to listen to! We saw so many sites on the island with enough time at each spot to relax and enjoy. The wild bus drive through the sandy tracks and on the beach was fun! The room at the resort was perfect, we paid for a shared room but got our own room. The food was delicious with lots of choice at the buffets and on the menu. I highly recommend joining the 2 day tour, experience of a lifetime!
