When I grow up, I don’t want to be a fireman, a police man, a doctor or a lawyer.. I want to be Dave D! and be a tour guide on K’Gari! 😉🙏🏽💛✨ Great Tour with K’Gari explorer Tours.. Thanks Dave for sharing your knowledge and your passion for what I think is the best island on the planet.. You were a most serviceable Ozzie tour guide 👏💪🏝️🥇
Great tour but felt rushed would have liked to of spent more time at places to explore a bit more. Only 25 minutes at McKenzie lake high a little sad
It was a great day. Dean provided loads of interesting information.
Great day that hit the highlights of K’Garri (Fraser Island). The weather was not great but the experience made up for it. The tour guide - Dean - was a wealth of knowledge and made the day go quickly. Will definitely do it again.
Amazing experience! Very well scheduled itinerary and great atmosphere on the trip. Our guide and driver John was not only incredibly funny but also delivered great commentary and was a fountain of knowledge about the island. Swimming in Lake Mackenzie was the highlight! We saw both whales, dingos and eagles on the drive. Even though you spend a lot of time driving to the different stops the drive is beautiful and just as big as an experience as the stops. John also made the drive comfortable by mentioning when the roads would be bumpy. Would highly recommend booking this one day trip!

We had a great day on K’gari. Our guide Pete was laid back and friendly and made us feel welcome and included. He gave us plenty of interesting facts about the island and talked about the importance of this place to the traditional owners of the land. Lake McKenzie was just stunning and the walk on the boardwalk through the rainforest at Wanggoolba Creek was another highlight. We had a beautiful lunch at K’gari Resort and the drive up the beach spotting wildlife like huge Sea Eagles, dingoes and a few whales was great. A spur of the moment decision to take a flight over the island was a true highlight for me. All in all a great day out. Thanks again to our wonderful guide Pete.

I really enjoyed this tour and, even though I'm only 13, it was one of the highlights of my trip. The only thing to be aware of is that the ride can be quite bumpy, so if you get motion sickness easily, keep that in mind. Personally, I thought it made the tour even more exciting! Our tour Guide with Steve and Mike and they were absolutely incredible. They were so funny and you could tell they love their job. It was quite enjoyable and they explained everything in a really incredible way which is really great for everybody and it included interesting stories that were quite entertaining about the place we were in. It was also great for families. We had people of all ages, with the youngest being 7, and everyone had an amazing time. I'd recommend bringing a floaty or inflatable tube, as one of the rivers is perfect for relaxing and floating along. If it's available, I'd also suggest paying extra for the optional helicopter ride—it was definitely worth it for the incredible views. Don't forget a camera or make sure your phone is charged because there are so many great photo opportunities. Overall, I'd highly recommend this tour!
Thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that your tour was one of the highlights of your trip.

Thank you for your recommendation and for sharing your tips with future travellers. We hope to welcome you and your family back to K'gari again someday.
Dave and David did a great job. Plenty of info, felt like a real 4wd experience and great to see dingos and whales. Plane recommended
Thank you for your review! We're so pleased to hear you had a great adventure with Dave and David. It's fantastic that you enjoyed the authentic 4WD experience and were able to spot both dingoes and whales along the way. We're also glad to hear you'd recommend the scenic flight—it's certainly a great way to take in the beauty of K'gari from above! Thank you for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back again soon.
After 1.5 hours of travel by bus and ferry, we arrived in K'gari, boarded the 4WD bus, and the adventurous journey began. For a long time, we drove on very narrow and bumpy roads through the rainforest. Anyone prone to motion sickness should definitely take a tablet beforehand! 😉 I would also only conditionally recommend this tour to people with spine problems. The experienced driver David told us everything important about the island. We drove to a freshwater lake where swimming was possible, and we were provided with cookies and drinks. Lunch was served buffet-style and was delicious and plentiful. Then we drove along the beach. We saw dingoes, a shipwreck, a creek, the spout of several whales, and a plane that used the beach at low tide as a runway. The journey itself was an experience! Then back through the rainforest to the ferry. The driver David drives very safely through all the potholes, explains well, and good music plays in the background. We were on the road for over 12 hours in total and quite tired.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you had such a memorable adventure on K'gari. David will be thrilled to know that you enjoyed his commentary, driving skills, and even the music along the way! It sounds like you experienced so many of the island's highlights, from the freshwater lake and rainforest tracks to spotting dingoes, whales, the Maheno Shipwreck, and the beach aircraft operations. We're also pleased to hear you enjoyed the lunch and refreshments throughout the day. Thank you for sharing your experience and helpful tips for future visitors. We hope to welcome you back to K'gari again for another unforgettable adventure!
