Our tours are made up of small groups with a range of different ages, nationalities and backgrounds. Generally people who travel with us are between 20 and 49, though we also get alot passengers much older onboard - everyone is welcome! On tour we get equally as many males as females and everyone shares an enthusiasm for the out doors, nature, adventure and culture. Our tours are for those wanting to really explore and share the experience with likeminded travellers. Whether we are camping by a billabong in Kakadu National Park or sharing a cabin in Tasmania, our travellers want more than just a site seeing tour. They are chasing a hands on group experience. The trips are packed with many highlights and the pace can be fast. There may be some long drives and passengers should expect to help out when setting up camp or cooking food - this is a group adventure. However, there’s always time to chill out, have a cold beer ( or wine! ) and soak up your surroundings. As always, if in doubt then contact us directly with your concerns.

“Excellent Tour and Excellent Tour Guide Taylah”
Taylah was excellent throughout the tour… very interactive with us, knowledgeable, great driver.. we were all very impressed! Fun to be and couldn’t rate her highly enough. The 2 day tour was great as we did enough during the day and had to time to relax as well.. the plane tour was a big success! How brilliant to take off and land on a beach! Would definitely recommend anyone books with K’gari Explorer Tours… not big groups and we were very lucky as only 13 of us and we all had a great time… thank you and Taylah very much for a brilliant trip!

“Fun on K'Gari”
Taylah was our guide, and we couldn't be happier. She was so competent driving the bus and very knowledgeable about K'Gari. The Illumina light show was a highlight. Would definitely recommend to everyone especially young people, as there was so much yo do and see.

“Best two days!”
We had the best two days on K’Gari and I’m so happy we got to visit all the major sites on the island.
The tour was great, so nice having space on the bus - and great to stay in the hotel. Jean was friendly, knowledgeable and a great guide. We went when there was a blood moon and got to see the Milky Way which was insane!

“Fantastic experience!”
Had a lovely trip! Everything went smooth, from the pick-up at the hotel to the tour itself. We had Dave D as our tour guide, and he was absolutely phenomenal—very experienced, knowledgeable, and passionate about K’gari. He shared so many interesting stories and facts throughout the day, making the whole experience both fun and educational.
A special mention also goes to Jeff, our bus driver back to the hotel, who was truly amazing. He was so friendly and kind, and went above and beyond to get us to where we needed to be, even tho this was not planned on beforehand. His positive attitude added so much to the overall experience.
The days was perfectly organized, with breathtaking stops and plenty of time to enjoy each location without feeling rushed. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting K’gari—such a memorable and well-run experience!
Collected by lostinaustralia.org
“Great experience!”
Even though we are locals to the area we found the tour to be well worth it. We got to see most of the iconic locations and learnt so much more about the islands ecosystem and history. Dean was an amazing guide. He was very friendly and kept everyone engaged and entertained while manoeuvring the large 4wd bus through some pretty tricky terrain. He even had some pretty funny dad jokes I must admit.
Kingfisher Bay Resort was very nice, the buffet breakfast was outstanding and the rooms were pleasant. The K'gari beach resort at Eurong is less fancy but everything you need. You don't spend too much time there anyway.
Overall, I think it is well worth the price you pay when you consider everything that is included and I would highly recommend this tour to anybody that is thinking about visiting the island.

“An amazing tour round an incredible island”
Just WOW!!
I cannot thank Taylor enough for the tour she provided… From her top class driving skills to her knowledge of the island.
The experience was incredible…
The opening nighttime Laser event at the Kingfisher resort was a treat.
Lake Makenzie is enchanting and the general scenery throughout the island is incredible… topped off with a short flight around the island in a 6 seater plane.

“Paradise!”
We were fortunate enough to have been on a tour with only 5 people, including 3 being our family so it made the experiences so much more enjoyable and less rushed/noisy. The price was well reflected foe the quality of places we visited, our accommodation, food and how well Dean, our tour guide looked after us. We stayed at each destination a good amount of time, again we stopped frequently to look at cool stuff out the window so that was good. Our first bus driver Pete picked us up from the Shell servonat Rainbow Beach to take us to our first stop at Lake McKenzie, he was super nice and knowledgeable. The bus was packed and barge rude was choppy but that's was OK. Once we swam at Lake Mackenzie we met our new tour guide Dean who we spent the remainder of our 2 day time with. He was also super knowledgeable and made us feel safe and looked after during our time with him. The destinations defiently lived up to their names on the island, simply paradise

“Fantastic two days in paradise”
This trip was absolutely worth it! Our tour guide Taylah did a fantastic job, both driving us around safely and comfortably, and giving us insights into the history and nature of this breathtaking island.
We'd definitely recommend the two-day tour, as it gives you enough time for each activity.
The Kingfisher Bay Resort offers a great variety of activities (tennis, pool, spa) and good food, too (we particularly liked the breakfast). Its sister hotel on the other side, K'gari Beach Resort, is a bit older, but offers spacious rooms (no a/c!) and also surprisingly good food.

“Only the 2 day trip will do!”
Brilliant 2 days out. Definitely visit this pristine heritage listed island!
Beautiful subtropical rainforest, drive 30 km along the famous beach, swim in crystal clear lakes and, yes you will see wild dingos,and be a little bit afraid and cautious of them too.
The bus looks like a regular bus, but powerful 4wd to get along the sandy tracks with towering trees and lush ferns and onto the wide beach with the crashing surf of the Pacific. Dave, our driver and guide is straight out of central casting! Aussie, friendly, capable, funny and always concerned with safety and service and excellent coordination and timing for 2 action packed days. Homemade muffins and Anzac biscuits for morning tea, and excellent buffet lunch at the resort the first day.
Dinner is not included but not expensive. Excellent pub style food with very generous portions for tired trekkers. I can recommend the Barramundi fish and chips and salad.
The motel is essentially unchanged since 1975, which for Xers was a throwback to family summer holidays, but exactly right for this sort of trip, and for the Millenials, it is clean simplicity that they favour too. Clean, with comfortable beds to collapse into.
The second day was another pristine walk. 2.5km in on sandtracks through light forest and then a refreshing swim in a hidden lake, but with a dastardly sand hill to climb out.
To and from the island is by ferry/car barge which added to the adventure. We were all dropped off to our hotels by the very kind and personable Warren who went the extra mile for lost backpackers and some very tired and bewildered overseas visitors.
Definitely do the 2 day overnight trip. It really is a visit to remember.

“Two day bus 4wd tour K'gari, definitely sign up!”
We did the 2 day bus 4x4 tour and it was fantastic, Blaire is an exceptional tour guide and hosted a very enjoyable trip. This included a combination of fun, sharing his knowledge of the facts of the country and local wildlife, while being relaxed and structured made this the perfect two days for my father-in-law visiting from Canada. McKenzie creek is brilliant, swimming in the Champaign pools, visiting the headland and Eli Creek, not to mention pinnacles and shipwreck while seeing local Dingos was exceptional!!! Only thing we didn't realise at the time of booking was a 2.5km walk each way was included, people with mobility issues may need to know this in advance. Otherwise, food was great at the K'gari beach resort and local coffee was strong. Memorable two days in one of the most beautiful locations on our planet. Highly recommend and hope you get Blaire as your tour guide!! P.s Blaire is a great human and personally, I think his boss should pay him more (and no, Blaire didn't ask me to include this, I promise!)

“K’gari 2 Day Tour”
Pickup was prompt, and I especially enjoyed the first day of the tour where we visited two beautiful lakes, did a rainforest walk, saw dingos up close, and had plenty of fun with the woopty doos.
I was initially disappointed as I thought I had booked a self-drive 4x4 tour. Our pass said “quad share,” so I assumed we would be driving ourselves. Although that wasn’t the case, I still enjoyed the overall experience.
Dave D was fantastic he made us feel safe, was incredibly knowledgeable about the island and its First Nations history, and kept the day engaging with great conversation and made tones of effort. He has a great laugh!
The food provided was lovely, and I enjoyed the morning tea, which kept us at bay until lunch.
The shared accommodation was comfortable, and it was nice coming back to a warm shower at the end of the day.
The only downside for me was the group dynamic. The people on our tour weren’t very engaging, and as younger women we felt the group skewed a bit more mature, which may suit travellers who prefer a quieter experience with less socialising.
Overall, I still appreciated the trip and the chance to experience K’gari.

“Best Tour Guide - Dave!”
We did the 2 day 1 night K’Gari Tour with Dave!
The food was exceptional, the sites we visited were stunning and well worth the money for the accommodation but the highlight of our trip was Dave! You could really tell how much he loved his job and K’Gari island.

A truly unforgettable experience. Spending two days exploring the island and learning about the heritage and what makes it such a special place was amazing from start to finish.
Our tour guide Keith was brilliant – funny, knowledgable and really cares about the heritage of the island. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and way to explore. Added bonus was seeing the sunrise (something I was grateful to jet lag for), whales and dingos.
I’d highly recommend this, and also the added on scenic flight to see the k’gari from above. I’d do it all over again.

So thank you John ! And also thank you to Keith, another guide who took us back to rainbow beach, we had an amazing moment watching a dingo mom and her two babies howling. Thanks a lot for this !
The accommodation was really good and I had enough time to enjoy all the places that we visited.

“Great tour”
The booking system, logistics, pickup and transfers were all seamless.
The itinerary was well paced and ticked off all the iconic places I wanted to see. The bus was perfect for the conditions and was a comfortable ride
Our guide was sensational, Keith was very knowledgeable, passionate, articulate and funny host.
It was a great tour

“2 day tour is great!”
We were picked up by John in Rainbow beach. This was a very nice start to our two-day trip to K’gari. At Lake McKenzie we switched to the 2 Day tour bus. So for the rest of our trip we had another tour guide, Jean. Both Tour guides had a lot to say and brought this in a nice enthusiastic way. We got plenty of time to swim and take pictures everywhere because we had 2 days on the island. Also seen dolphins, turtles and dingoes.
Overnight stay at the resort was well arranged.
In short, highly recommended to do! And definitely choose 2 day tour, there is plenty to see!

“2 Day Fraser Island adventure”
The tour guide - Mark (Sarge) - was a credit to the organisation. I cannot say enough good things about him. He was the consummate professional - he had all the facts/history/cultural background and had a delightful delivery. He had a great sense of humour and again was a great representative for the organisation. He drove that bus with a great deal of skill as well.
I would highly recommend both the tour guide Mark and the organisation re the x 2 adventure of Fraser Island. 10/10

“Super tour!”
With the very personable, very knowledgeable Mark at the wheel of our tour bus, we had a super two-day visit to K'gari -- with good-enough accommodations and food plus terrific weather.

Keith and Dave made our trip truly memorable, with their vast knowledge and passion for K'gari, it made us fall in love with the island too.
This experience is a must do!!

“K'gari Adventure”
This tour allowed me to see and do things I would never have done on my own. Blair our driver was excellent, very informative, flexible, considerate, and safe. I learnt so much about K'gari doing this tour and loved the places we visited. I had a fabulous time.

“Amazing K'gari 2 day tour”
Had the most amazing trip to K'gari Island.
Saw all the major amazing stops - Lake mackenzie, Champagne pools, SS Maheno Eli creek, Dingos, Sea plane ($120 extra), Hike to Lake Wabby etc
Overnight stay at the K'gari beach resort - which was comfortable, but rooms a little dated now.
Tour guide - Keith absolutely made the trip!
His enthusiasm and knowledge for the island is incredible and very infectious!
Thank you Fraser tours for an unforgettable trip

“Great experience”
We booked this trip as we heard amazing things about the island but weren’t keen to camp & we are so glad we did! Everything was fantastic, from the food to the accommodation, and our tour guide Dave D was amazing. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about the island, and made sure we enjoyed our time at each spot. Lots of opportunities to swim with nice walks. We even got to see a family of Dingos. Would definitely recommend (from three girls in their 20’s)!!

“Great jam packed tour”
Great tour seeing lots around K’gari from the amazing huge Satinay trees and rainforest to amazing inland lakes, creeks, wildlife. Our very knowledgeable guide Keith kept us entertained and showed us so much. Plenty of time to enjoy your surrounds, have a swim, spot a whale! Accomodation and meals fantastic and we were kept at a steady but comfortable pace. Well worth doing if considering a trip to K’gari.

“Take the stress out of touring K'gari”
There's a good reason K'gari Explorer Tours has close to a five star rating. The tour guides. They have a relaxed, welcoming demeanour, that immediately makes you feel welcome.
We've been twice now, and seeing the Island by tour bus is the superior way to get around. Our guide takes all the stress out of managing this on our own, leaving us to simply enjoy being there.
We highly recommend touring K'gari as opposed to the stress of managing fuel, food, tides, tracks and destinations. We can't recommend K'gari Explorer Tours enough.
