K’gari (Fraser Island) All Inclusive Day Tourmelaniewessner, Sep 2026
A great introduction to K’gari
We had a fabulous day with Dean, he was a wonderful guide with so much knowledge of the island (our first time). Loved every minute, could have spent a lot more time there and will definitely be coming back. Lake Mackenzie was the highlight for us, just beautiful!

Great 2-day tour with Taylah
We had an amazing time on our 2-day tour with our guide Taylah. She was extremely knowledgeable and always excited to share interesting information about the island. Furthermore, her driving skills on the bumpy roads through the sand were impressive. The itinerary was fun and well planned and we always had enough time for each sight. Food was tasty and vegetarian options were available as well.

Pippies 3 Day/2 Night K’gari (Fraser Island) Adventure562larat, Sep 2026
An absolute must!!!
Had the best K’gari trip ever with Pippies - couldn’t recommend more!!!Our tour guide Cory was an absolute legend and he couldn’t have done more to make it the most incredible experience for the full group 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼 Felt so safe with him - so friendly, knowledgable and a great laugh! Met a great group of people and so so much fun!!!Visited lots of cool spots but the highlight was definitely Lake Boomanjin which we visited on the last day through Cory’s recommendation, and sooo glad we did! The lake was so peaceful, beautiful views and the tea tree lake is meant to be super good for your skin & hair, which, based on Cory’s, I believe⭐️⭐️⭐️No complaints at all - the best time❤️

Dingos 2 Day K’Gari (Fraser Island) 4WD Tag-Along Tour594troys, Sep 2026
Fantastic experience, Great tour with the best Aiden!
My trip to Fraser Island was an absolute standout experience, largely thanks to our incredible tour guide, From the moment we set off Aidan brought an authentic and uplifting energy, genuine passion for the island's and tour. He had infectious energy and just wants everyone to feel comfortable and have a good time!He navigated the changing beach tracks with complete confidence and safety, making sure everyone felt comfortable while still getting a true sense of adventure. Every stop, from the crystal-clear waters of Lake McKenzie to the historic Maheno Shipwreck, was timed perfectly and Aiden went above and beyond to share fascinating stories, good laughs and help us spot local wildlife. If you are planning a visit to this stunning destination, I cannot recommend this tour enough, especially if you are lucky enough to have Aiden as your guide.

Amazing experience! Driving on the beach with J.B. was really cool and kayaking on the ocean with him and Kevin was fantastic. We were barely meters away from a whale!
Definitely recommended!

Dingos 3 Day K’Gari (Fraser Island) 4WD Tag-Along TourNomad47250472945, Jul 2026
Great weekend trip
Had an incredible time on this trip - was the best part of our East Coast tour. We did the 3 day trip which was definitely the right amount of time. Our guide - Wade - was very good, he was knowledgeable, funny and friendly. The campsite was good, although obviously basic. We cooked as a group - the food included steak, cheese + bacon burgers, sausages, salads, pasta salad and vegetables. The lunches during the day were wraps with various fillings. We really enjoyed the food. The shower and bathroom facilities were okay, a few spiders but the staff were great and cleared them after our first night. The atmosphere in the evenings was really good - we had a campfire going and everyone was playing card games, chatting, and having a couple of drinks. During the days we visited some very picturesque places, although sadly our weather was disappointing. We saw a couple of dingos but nothing to be nervous about, if you follow the rules that the guides set. Driving the 4WD vehicles was definitely a highlight. I highly recommend this trip, especially for young adults travelling up the East Coast!!

Epic Tour with Kevin!!
Kevin was an excellent guide and really friendly and chatty with us. We also did the kayak tour with him and it was great fun. We saw dolphins, lots of tiny crabs, and rays. He has excellent knowledge of the place and environment. Thanks Kevin!!
