Overview

Discover K'gari differently

Slow the pace, escape the crowds and experience the very best of World Heritage-listed K'gari on our 3 Day K'gari 4WD Escape.

Designed for travellers who want more than a standard island tour, this small-group experience combines the adventure of driving a 4WD with the comfort of beach house accommodation, wholesome meals and three days exploring K'gari with an experienced local guide.

With a maximum of just 18 guests, there's more room to relax, more opportunity to enjoy each destination and a much more personal way to experience the island.

And rather than spending your entire tour as a passenger, eligible guests have the opportunity to get behind the wheel and experience driving a 4WD on K'gari's famous beaches and sand tracks.

It's adventurous without roughing it, social without the crowds, and relaxed enough to really appreciate this extraordinary island.

Lake McKenzie

Lake McKenzie also known by its indigenous name, Lake Boorangoora, is one of Fraser Island’s most well known tourist attractions. Its crystal clear freshwater and white silica sand make it one of the island’s most visited natural wonders. The lake’s mesmerising beauty comes from the sand which acts as a filter, giving the water its clarity and helping to make the water so pure that it supports very little life, you won’t find any fish living here!

Champagne Pools

One of Fraser Island’s most unique attractions, Champagne pools, acts as a natural jazzucci through its naturally formed rock pools. They shield the beach from the ocean surf and provide a unique bathing experience! To get down to the pools you need to do a short boardwalk down several stairs, this provides a stunning view over the pools and out into the ocean! A perfect summer’s day out.

Central Station Rainforest

Central Station, situated in the heart of Fraser Island, a general pit stop favourite for many travelers, holds a strong historical significance to Fraser Island. From the 1920s to 1950s, the area featured a number of houses and schools, settled by mainland Australians who had moved up to the Island to harvest timber from the forest. While this practice is no longer allowed today, Central Station provides a one of a kind jungle hang out, perfect for lunch stops and memorable walks in the lush, tropical rainforest. Here you will find some superb open rainforest home to the massive Angiopteris ferns, the largest fern fronds in the world!

Maheno Ship Wreck

It wouldn’t be a trip to Fraser Island without visiting one of the most famous Fraser landmarks, the SS Maheno Shipwreck. The Maheno, over 110 years old, was a former trans-Tasman luxury liner and a World War 1 hospital ship for New Zealand. Today the ship’s rusted remains lie on the 75-mile beach, a popular tourist and photography destination! ‘Maheno’ is the Maori (native New Zealand language) word for ‘island’, ironic huh!
