    Full description

    Join a guided day tour of Fraser Island and visit a curated itinerary of highlights such as Lake McKenzie, 75 Mile Beach, and the Maheno Shipwreck, with return ferry transfers included. Let your driver traverse the tracks and tides to ensure an enjoyable experience on the world’s largest sand island.

    Begin your adventure with pickup from your Hervey Bay accommodation, or make your own way to River Heads. Take a 40-minute ferry ride to Fraser Island, keeping a look out for dolphins, turtles, and other marine life.

    Once on the island, follow your local guide to see the stunning natural sights. If English is your second language, download the free foreign language app prior to the tour and use it offline for audio commentary. Learn fascinating facts about the island’s history, and its flora and fauna.

    Travel in an air-conditioned bus to Central Station, a former logging station. Then stroll along the Wanggoolba Creek boardwalk to discover the ancient king ferns, towering ghost gums, and pine trees.

    Continue to Lake McKenzie and swim in the crystal blue waters or relax on the sandy beaches. Next up is the Seventy-Five Mile Beach. Choose to take a flight over the island (at an additional cost), or float down Eli Creek.

    Visit the Maheno shipwreck and enjoy a photo stop at the rusting wreck of the Maheno. Also, see The Pinnacles colored sands, and learn how these formations were created. Board the 5:00 PM ferry back to River Heads, and get dropped off at your accommodation.

    It was an all-round successful day, which ended with the sunset on the ferry! Our guide Butch was great! He brought us super fast and safely across the island and told us a lot. We ourselves would not have driven our own car half as fast and safely as he did. Hats off. We would recommend the excursion to everyone.

    Overall was enjoyable. Unfortunately we didn’t have the best of weather! I think it does take away slightly from the magical pictures you see online, however it was still beautiful- especially the rainforest walk (my favourite part) The Bus was like being on a rollercoaster!! And experiencing the highway driving was very cool. The food in the hotel for lunch was fab. The tour guide Wayne was very informative. He kept everyone entertained at all times. Would definitely recommend to do it once.

    The trip was really good and definitely a must if you’re in this part of the world. The tour guides are very friendly and knowledgable which makes the whole experience so much better. Lunch is well catered for and tasty. It would have been nice to spend some more time in some places such as Ely creek and maybe not doing some other stops.
