Explore K’Gari (Fraser Island) on a Day Tour from Noosa or Rainbow Beach with Discovery K'gari Adventures!

Start your day early with pick-ups from Noosa beginning at 5:45 am. We'll drive 1.5 hours north to the charming coastal town of Rainbow Beach for our last pick-up. After ensuring everyone is ready, we take a short drive to Inskip Point to catch our ferry. Keep an eye out for dolphins, dugongs, and other marine life during the cruise to K’Gari (Fraser Island).

Our adventure begins on the island’s ‘Beach Highway’, 75 Mile Beach. We'll stop at the must-see Eli Creek and then continue along the coast to the SS Maheno Shipwreck. Learn about its fascinating history before we head inland to Boorangoora (Lake McKenzie). Relax or swim in the crystal-clear waters of this stunning lake, one of Australia's most beautiful spots.

Next, we visit the historic Central Station, once the island's logging headquarters. Your guide will share insights about the logging history, the towering rainforests, and the serene waters of Wanggoolba Creek. You can opt for a 1.8 km walk through the rainforest along the creek, meeting your guide again at Pile Valley. From there, we'll drive back to the Eastern Beach and catch the ferry.

We'll drop off passengers staying at Rainbow Beach before heading back to Noosa, arriving around 6-7 pm. Join us for an unforgettable day exploring the wonders of K’Gari (Fraser Island)!

Fraser Island Tour

Die Tagestour war super! Wir haben die Tour von Rainbow beach aus gemacht, was für uns sehr angenehm war, denn dadurch haben wir uns die lange An- und Abreise zur Insel erspart.Unser Guide war sehr nett und hat ein unglaubliches Wissen was die Fauna und Flora von Fraser Island anbelangt.

Lohnenswerte Tour

Meinem Partner und mir hat die Tagestour sehr gut gefallen. Man bekommt das meiste von der Insel in einem Tag zu sehen für einen angemessenen Preis. Der Bus ist nicht zu voll & die Gruppenzahl genau richtig. Unser Gruppenführer war sehr nett & hilfreich. Ich würde die Tour jederzeit wieder buchen!

Super Tag auf Fraser Island

Eigentlich hätte ich gerne volle 5 Sterne geben, denn der Tag war wirklich super! Unser Tourguide war sehr nett und hat uns viele interessante Informationen mitgeteilt. Wir hatten einen Stop, um eine Wanderung durch den Regenwald zu machen, und einen Stop am Lake McKenzie. Der Tag war wirklich großartig!!! Allerdings dass man die meiste Zeit im Bus, und da wir auch schon um 16:30 wieder in Noosa waren, hätte man den Tag noch etwas auf der Insel besser ausnutzen können, vllt noch einen weiteren Stop irgendwo einlegen oder so..

Hi Susanne, thanks for choosing Discovery for your Fraser Island adventure, so glad to hear you had a perfect day!

Fun

Macht wirklich Spaß und hat eine coole Führung. Allerdings sieht man nur sehr wenig von der Insel. Statt eines bushwalks könnte man durchaus noch zu Eli creek und oder das Schiffwrack anschauen. Man sieht lediglich lake Mckenzie und besagten bush walk. Daher empfehle ich eher eine Mehrtagestour.

Hi G, thanks for travelling with us and taking time to leave a review. While there are many points of interest on the island, we ahve chosen to concentrate on those features which give the island its UNESCO World Heritage listing for our day tour which are the rain forest and fresh water lakes. We've taken your feedback on board though and are currently looking at some exciting new itinerary options to introduce!
