Our 2 days at K'gari were amazing! We've got to see so many beautiful spots. Our guide Kurt was fantastic. He was very passionate about teaching us all the things we wanted to know about the island, trees and animals. The ride in the bus on the beach was also a really great experience. Thanks Kurt for the two amazing days. Greetings,
Sandra and Rudolph (Linda).

From Rainbow Beach we went on a 2 day tour to Fraser Island which started perfectly on time and directly from our Hotel (Debbie’s Place). Keith welcomed us very warmly on his Bus and made the journey very pleasant by sharing good information with an excellent sense of humor and by playing very nice and cool music.
After a good coffee at the Beach Resort we went to Lake McKenzie where the 2-day tour guests changed bus - which gave an extra hour for swimming in the clear waters of the lake - absolutely beautiful. Our new guide Dave was also an absolute stunning source of information. On our way to the different spots we learned a lot about the island, the history and the wildlife. Despite the rainy weather on day one we could really see all highlights and day 2 with much more sunshine was absolutely fantastic.
Our personal favorite of all was the scenic flight with Air Fraser - a 15 Min hop over the island with take off and landing directly on the beach - unforgettable!
The whole trip was very well organized, the guides were true professionals, keeping us on plan throughout the 2 days. Thanks Dave for all the information, and thanks Keith for the short 2 entertaining transfers from and to Rainbow beach.

Whole family had a great time. There were only 17 on our tour including the four of us. Teen kids had a great time. Pick up and transfer to the island all straightforward and the bus driven by Guy was comfortable and fun. Lots of opportunity to stop and see things and get our gear. Guy was very knowledgeable about the island and had heaps of great stories. We saw lots of dingos. Blissful just being able to sit and enjoy the experience instead of driving, navigating and all that . Morning tea and lunches were enjoyable . The resort on the east side of the island was well appointed and the restaurant food was pretty good, though the dinner meals took 50min to come out. Coffee from the bar is recommend as the bakery and shop was bad. Our two bedroom apartment was recently renovated and the balcony view was glorious at sunset. Would highly recommend this tour and do again if given the opportunity. It was a bit cool and drizzly, but still so many great things to see and I think the weather after two long weekends had kept the crowds away.

Would highly recommend doing this 2-day tour! The island is beautiful and has so much to offer. The tour takes you the best spots. Doing the 2-day tour means you see more and have longer at each place, for example 1.5 hours at the creek which was excellent! Andrew was a fantastic guide who made the whole thing far more enjoyable.

This is an awesome tour and you get a good look at all the cool places and highlights of the island. Lots of opportunities for getting off the bus to walk, swim and explore.
Our guides Andy and Kurt were awesome and made the two day trip really enjoyable. They are great hosts, and gave us heaps of information about the history, geology, wildlife and culture.
The bus was comfortable, good food, the hotel was clean and spacious. Nice pool.
Loved it.

Amazing experience. Guy was waiting for us at the ferry and we immediately felt welcomed. He's a great guide, super knowledgeable and very friendly. The bus was comfortable and we had a great time. We were opting for a self drive or tag along first, but so glad we didn't do that. It may look fun at first, but the driving on K'gari is very challenging, so we were happy to have an experienced driver and guide. Guy managed to hook us up with a flight over the island with Air K'gari. Bonus to an already unforgettable trip!
