We enjoyed the wilderness of Fraser Island, a World Heritage Site, and interacted with participants from various countries, such as skiing in streams on floating rings, swimming in lakes, and off-roading in four-wheel drive vehicles. It was also great fun to stay in a beach house that looked like something out of Tom Sawyer's adventures and enjoy the food on offer on the tour. It was all a fresh and precious experience! The tour staff, our guide Bob (I think Bob is a false name) who attended for two days, was fun and lovely.
A great itinerary and guide, bob. Lovely accommodation and brilliant food. Got to see everything we wanted just with some rain one morning was the only downside
Thank you for your kind words! We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed the itinerary and that Bob, our guide, made a great impression. It's wonderful that the accommodation and food exceeded your expectations. We’re glad you were able to see everything you wanted, despite the rain on that one morning. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back for another adventure soon!
The trip was great, our guide was super nice and tried to give us the best experience. The accommodation was also good, it’s a nice place to relax after a long day. It has just two bathrooms, which can be a bit challenging for 20 people. And the food was mostly good but a little bit too less. So I‘d recommend to bring some snacks on your own. All in all a great trip with a good amount of time at the main attractions.
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We’re so glad to hear that you had a great time and enjoyed the experience. It’s wonderful to know that your guide was able to provide you with a memorable adventure and that the accommodation was a comfortable place to unwind after a busy day. We appreciate your comments about the bathrooms and food, and we’ll certainly take those into consideration as we work to improve the overall experience. We’re glad the main attractions lived up to your expectations, and thank you for the tip about bringing extra snacks — it’s always good to be prepared for a bit of extra energy during the trip! We hope to welcome you back on another adventure in the future!

Thank you so much for sharing your incredible K'gari experience on the Fraser Dingo Tagalong Tour with Bob! We are so pleased to hear you had such a good time!
I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the Fraser Island tour I recently booked with your company. The description of the tour was extremely unclear, which led to significant confusion. As a result, I mistakenly checked into the wrong Flashpackers Hostel and had to arrive a night earlier than necessary. This confusion caused me to incur additional costs for accommodation that were not anticipated. Due to these miscommunications, I was unable to participate in the entire tour, which was incredibly disappointing. The additional expenses and the loss of valuable time have been a significant inconvenience. The total extra costs I incurred include an additional night at the Flashpackers Hostel, and further expenses for rebooking transportation. This situation has caused me undue stress and financial strain. I hope that you can address these issues promptly and provide a suitable resolution. I would appreciate compensation for the extra costs incurred and a thorough review of the tour description to prevent future customers from experiencing similar problems
Hi Paul, We’re sorry to see your one-star review. I understand how frustrating it must have been to accidentally book your accommodation at the wrong location the night before the tour, despite the clear information on our Viator product page. When you made your booking, you selected Colonial Village Resort as your pickup location, which clearly displays the Hervey Bay address. Unfortunately, we are unable to compensate for costs resulting from booking errors. Best regards, Kaylee Assistant Manager Fraser Dingo 4WD
Awesome to explore with different ethnicities Guide and the schedule was really well planned Highly recommended Excellent
Thank you so much for the 5 star review! We are so pleased to hear you had a great Tagalong Tour! Thanks for choosing Fraser Dingo for your K'gari adventure
