The day trip on K'gari was fantastic, Hayden the driver skilfully guided our bus through the 4wd roads through amazing rainforests, along the beach, all the while giving commentary on the feature and history of this paradise. Plenty of time at each feature, 🏊♀️ in creeks and lakes superb fresh water,guides rainforest walks . A lovely lunch, cannot recommend this highly enough as a bucket list tick off. You have to go!!

Lake Mackenzie was a bucket list item and did not disappoint. The tour is a fantastic way for non four wheel drivers to see the amazing sights of Fraser Island. Our driver Dave was knowledgeable and an exceptional driver in the difficult terrain.

Such an amazing trip! Jam packed but such a great way to get a taste of the island! Informative tour guides, beautiful scenery, great for kids and the 4wd bus was so much fun! Would highly recommend. Lake Mackenzie is the crowning glory!

It was great to see so many of the special Fraser Island sights in a day.

Amazing day spent on K'gari. Mark our tour guide gave us an adventure (not tour).
Lunch was bland...

The tour guide, Steve, was very friendly and knowledgeable. I loved my time there with my partner. The best part for us was definitely Lake Mckenzie. Recommened for anyone who wants to visit the island without having to worry about the potential pitfalls of driving themselves on the sand tracks.

This day trip was an excellent intro to Fraser Island. It provided an excellent variety of scenery. We had plenty of time at Lake McKenzie to swim. Time allocated at each spot was perfect.
Buffet lunch at the Resort was adequate.
If anyone desperately needs a coffee/tea at morning and afternoon tea, take your own.
Given the cost of taking your own car on the barge, permit, camping fees etc, the day trip was exceptional value.
Our guide was Cameron - excellent! Cameron was very experienced and knew the area very well. Friendly and obliging. Thank you Cameron!
There was a mix up with pick up arrangements but everything turned out OK.

sadebausdeb - 4/5
Hayden was our driver/tour guide and he was excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed all the information he gave us interjected with light hearted humour. Meal was okay but would have enjoyed a cup of coffee or tea with it but we weren't there for the food. 4 Wheel drive bus was very comfortable and a great vehicle for getting around. Would recommend for all ages.
