Itinerary

Day 1: Noosa or Rainbow Beach, K'gari (Fraser Island), Central Station, Lake McKenzie
Guests departing from Noosa will be picked up between 5:20–5:45 am before a scenic drive North to Rainbow Beach, where the group comes together. Guests starting in Rainbow Beach join at 7:30 am before a short drive to Inskip Point to board the ferry. Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins, dugongs, and seabirds as you cross to the World Heritage-listed paradise of K’gari. On arrival, buckle up as we cruise along the island’s famous 75 Mile Beach before heading inland to Pile Valley for a rainforest walk among the island’s giant satinay and brush box trees. Continue to the jewel of the island, Boorangoora (Lake McKenzie). Here you’ll have time to swim in the pure, crystal-clear waters and enjoy a relaxed picnic lunch. Your guide will share stories of K’gari’s ecology, native wildlife, and Butchulla culture — including how to safely respect the island’s wongari (dingoes). In the late afternoon, we travel back to the coast and check in at our exclusive permanent camp. Unwind with a sunset platter, followed by a hearty dinner under the stars. After dinner, gather around the campfire, and if the night sky is clear, your guide will lead a short walk for a special K’gari Star Show. Accommodation: Twin-share permanent bell-tent with bed, linen & towel and pillows (shared showers and toilets nearby) Meals Included: Lunch, Dinner Driving Time: 6 hours if departing from Noosa or 4 hours if departing from Rainbow Beach Walking Distance: 2-5 kms
Day 2: Lake Birrabeen, Central Station, Maheno Shipwreck, Eli Creek
Rise early to watch the sunrise over the Pacific Ocean before breakfast at camp. Today begins with a drive north along 75 Mile Beach to one of the island’s most popular swimming spots, Eli Creek, where you can float downstream through crystal-clear freshwater. Next, step back in time at the SS Maheno Shipwreck, a rusted ocean liner beached in 1935, and hear the fascinating stories behind its history. The adventure continues inland along the Southern Lakes Circuit to the peaceful Lake Birrabeen, a stunning alternative to Lake McKenzie where fewer crowds mean more time to relax and swim. We also visit Central Station and the serene Wanggoolba Creek, once a logging camp and now a lush rainforest haven with boardwalks winding beside the clear waters. After a picnic lunch, it’s time to farewell K’gari. Travel south along the beach to the ferry, crossing back to the mainland and returning to Rainbow Beach by late afternoon. Noosa passengers continue onwards, arriving back around 6–7:00 pm. Important to note: Due to variations in tides and weather, there will be times when your guide will change the order of the itinerary to maximise your adventure. Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch Driving Time: 7 hours if returning to Noosa or 5 hours if returning to Rainbow Beach Walking Distance: 3-5kms

What time does the tour end?
Passengers returning to Rainbow Beach can expect to be dropped off between 3:00 and 4:30 pm, and passengers returning to Noosa can expect to be dropped off around 5:30 to 7:00 pm.
Will I be able to swim?
Yes, swimming in Lake McKenzie and Eli Creek has been a highlight for many passengers. It is some of the freshest water available and is a great way to cool down and refresh yourself. To help keep this environment pristine, we ask that passengers apply any sunscreen at least 20 minutes before entering the water to ensure it is fully absorbed by the skin, preventing excess pollutants from entering the waters.
Will you pick up from my hotel?
The tour departs from Rainbow Beach, with optional add-on shuttle services available from Noosa to Rainbow Beach (before the tour) and from Rainbow Beach to Noosa (after the tour). To maximise our time on K’gari (Fraser Island), we have selected several key accommodation providers and shuttle pick-up points located in the greater Noosa area, as well as a central pick-up point in Rainbow Beach. We have selected these options to ensure that, regardless of where you choose to stay in Noosa, there will be a pick-up point nearby. If you have any questions, please call our reservations team, who would be most happy to advise on the most convenient place for you to join our tour.
Can dietary requirements be catered for?
Yes, passengers with special meal requirements or food allergies MUST ensure they inform us at least 72 hours prior to the trip commencing. Food for the trip is purchased before commencement and special requirements cannot be catered for after departing. Due to the remote nature of our tours, food is basic but plentiful. We can cater for the following dietary requirements:
  • No pork
  • No dairy
  • Vegetarian
  • Vegan
  • Gluten Free (Coeliac)
What is your cancellation policy?
Click here to view the booking terms & conditions.
What level of fitness or mobility is required?
Our day tour is suitable for all fitness levels. The rainforest walk features an optional self-guided section, which includes approximately 200 bush steps and is approximately 2 kilometres in length, suitable for most people to complete. If you don’t feel you can complete this, however, there is an option to take a wheelchair-accessible walk at Central Station instead. Getting in and out of the bus may be difficult for some people. The first step up can be quite high, and the exact height varies depending on where the bus is parked due to the sand car parks. Of course, we are happy to assist if you require. The overnight tour requires a moderate level of fitness and mobility and is suitable for people who can hike 3-5 km a day over uneven terrain and sandy tracks. If you are unsure or would like to discuss further, please call our reservations team.
Are tours suitable for children?
Due to child vehicle restraint laws in QLD and the limited availability of anchor points for child booster seats, we unfortunately cannot accommodate children under the age of 5 who require a booster seat with an anchor. For children over 5 years, we ask parents to consider whether the tour is suitable for their particular child, taking into account the day’s length, the duration of the bus ride, and the limited amenities available for children throughout the day. If you have young children and would like to learn more, please contact our office before booking. For children aged 5 years and over who require a booster seat with a lap belt restraint, please inform our team at the time of booking so we can confirm availability.
Can I join the tour if I'm pregnant?
Every woman experiences pregnancy differently, and so there is no one-size-fits-all answer. We generally don’t recommend joining the tour if you are past 28 weeks for your own comfort. If you are unsure, we recommend consulting with your doctor, as they are best equipped to advise you on medical issues.
