DAY 1 – We depart from Noosa nice & early at 6.30am. After you have checked out and hired your sleeping bag (winter) or linen pack (summer), we get your luggage into storage. Then you’re on route to Rainbow Beach where you’ll be arriving after a 1.5-2hr drive. We stop here to collect your 4WD’s. Here, you will pay the car insurance cash deposit of $250 per person (refundable if the car is returned undamaged). Alternatively you can pay a non refundable fee of $20. Then it’s a short drive to the ferry and that’s it, we are on our way to amazing Fraser Island!!

We take the ferry from Rainbow Beach and land at Hook Point on the Southern tip of Fraser Island approximately 10 min later. Depending on the weather, and the tide your guide will assess whether it is safe to travel on the beach or if we need to select an alternative route to our next destination – Eurong Beach Resort – where we have a break and some lunch (delicious sandwiches).

After lunch we head inland through some amazing rainforest where we can see some of the island’s unique flora and hopefully spot some wildlife too! Our destination for the afternoon is Lake McKenzie, famous for its clear blue water and sandy beach, covering more than 150 hectares and five meters in depth. We then drive back through the rainforest on the way to our camp ground at Eurong Resort, where we’ll be arriving in the late afternoon. After a refreshing shower, it’s dinner time!

DAY 2 – Your second day means another early start so you get to make the most of your time on the island! After a continental style breakfast – cereal, toasts, spread, coffee, we drive up to stunning Eli Creek, the largest freshwater creek on the Eastern Coast of the Island , which carves its way through to the beach and pours 80 million litres of water a day into the Pacific Ocean!

After spending some quality time here, we’ll be heading up to the famous Maheno Shipwreck. The Maheno was driven ashore on Fraser Island during a cyclone in 1935 and provides you with some awesome photo opportunities.

Next up, we continue north past the Coloured Sands comprising of 72 different colours of sand. After a lunch stop (wraps) and a break we continue driving up to Indian Head. Indian Head is a large rocky headland, which is great for shark spotting and stunning views over the island!

After taking in the breathtaking scenery, we’ll head over to our final stop of the day: Champagne Pools. This is a popular swimming hole with the ocean crashing over the rocks into shallow sandy pools. After an action-packed day we head back to our camp ground at Eurong Resort!

DAY 3 – Sadly, it’s our last day on the island already! Today, after breakfast we travel to Lake Wabby , the deepest lake on the Island (11.4 m!) The walk to and from Lake Wabby is an adventure in itself as you find yourself up close to nature and experience the beauty of Hammerstone Sandblow.

After lunch, it’s time to leave the island at approximately 2:30pm. A brief stop at Rainbow Beach before driving back to Noosa arriving at around 5pm, just in time for your exclusive post-tour party at KB’s bar with a drink and nibbles! An amazing end to an amazing trip!
