What you can expect
Queensland’s world heritage-listed K'gari (Fraser Island) is yours to explore on this action pack 2-Day 4WD Tag-along Tour from Rainbow Beach. Following an experienced tour guide, you’ll get behind the wheel of your own 4WD to explore the lush rainforest and freshwater lakes the island is famous for. Swim in the crystal blue waters of Lake McKenzie and Lake Wabby, take part in tranquil rainforest walks and camp at the beach under the stars. A tag-along 4WD adventure gives you the freedom to drive a 4WD with the reassurance that a tour guide is nearby if you get into trouble or don't have much experience driving on sand. All camping equipment, permits, ferry transfers, 4WD hire and meals are catered for so that all you need to worry about is packing your clothes, sleeping bag and any additional snacks or alcohol that you wish to bring with you.

Itinerary

Here, you will be placed into groups and have the opportunity to organise luggage storage. You will also be taught how to drive safely on Fraser Island ahead of your big adventure!
- We aim to depart Freedom Hostel for K'gari (Fraser Island) by 9:30 am, which can take approximately 10 minutes to drive to the barge (ferry). The barge crossing is approximately 15 minutes, and during that time, you may be lucky enough to spot Dolphins or other marine life before arriving on the world’s largest sand island.
- Once you arrive, you’ll be traversing the eastern beach - K'gari's (Fraser Islands) own highway with speed limits! Settle in for the journey and enjoy the views as we head north along the beach before stopping for morning tea at one of the many freshwater creeks found on the island.
- Following morning tea, we will continue north towards the Maheno Shipwreck, where we’ll stop to share the story of this important landmark, especially it’s use as a hospital ship during wartime. We have lunch included for you today. The lunch destination will be up to your guide, as they’ll find the best spot depending on where you are around that time of the day. We’ll finish up our afternoon at Eli Creek, a beautifully clear creek perfect for a refreshing swim/splash and relaxing sunbathing, before heading to our camp.
- Meals: Morning Tea, Lunch, Dinner.
- Day 2: K'GARI (FRASER ISLAND) Return to Rainbow Beach.
- Arise for a quick breakfast before we begin our second day on K'gari (Fraser Island)!
- The adventure begins as we drive south to Eurong before heading inland through everchanging vegetation to the rainforest at Central Station. Here, you’ll depart your vehicle and follow your guide for a walk alongside beautiful Wanggoolba Creek. Your guide will share the logging history of Central Station along with the indigenous significance of Wanggoolba Creek before sending you on a 1.8 km self-guided walk through the rainforest. You’ll reunite with your guide at the other end of the walk at Pile Valley where you’ll have morning tea surrounded by towering Satinay trees.
- From Pile Valley it’s a short drive to the famous Boorangoora (Lake McKenzie), arguably the most popular and picturesque highlight of K'gari (Fraser Island). Here, you can enjoy quality time lazing on the pristine sand beaches, swimming, and relaxing in the lake's stunning clear waters. We’ll then have lunch before packing up and returning to Eastern Beach. Once back on Eastern Beach we’ll head south to the barge (ferry). From Inskip Point, it’s only a short drive back into Rainbow Beach, where your adventure ends. We return to Freedom Rainbow Beach between 3:30 pm and 4:30 pm.
