Relax on sandy beaches, hike through lush rainforests, and snorkel in tranquil lakes on your adventure tour of Fraser Island. Travel by boat, coach, and rugged off-road vehicle in order to visit all the natural wonders of this dynamic paradise off Australia’s sun-soaked west coast.
Day 1 Hug the majestic Glass House Mountains as you drive north in a comfortable coach. Pass the idyllic Noosa River and arrive at beautiful Rainbow Beach, whose vibrant colours come from the area’s rich mineral content. After relaxing on the beach, wander through the local shops before boarding your ferry to Fraser Island.
Reach the island and hop aboard your 4x4 for a ride along 75 Mile Beach’s vast expanses of white sand. Continue driving to Eli Creek—the largest creek on the east coast of the island—to see the infamous Maheno shipwreck site.
Finish your day with a visit to Lake Wabby—where you might find sea turtles swimming in emerald-green waters—and a buffet dinner at your resort.
Day 2 Join a guided walking tour through the island’s rainforest and head to the calm waters of Lake McKenzie for an afternoon of swimming and snorkelling.
Enjoy a refreshing picnic lunch before continuing your tour of the island’s vegetation where you can see the giant shadow of a king fern, the imposing height of ancient satinay forests, and the serene gurgling of Wanggoolba Creek. Your adventure concludes with a drive back to the jetty, a ferry ride to Noosa, and an afternoon departure to your starting point.
