About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 709ludvigk0 contributionsAmazing experience!Kieth was absolutely amazing! He really took the tour up a notch, making it super fun and full of excitement. His way of explaining everything about the island and its Aboriginal heritage was so inspiring—you could really feel his passion for K’gari’s nature and history. The tour’s top highlights were definitely Lake McKenzie, the shipwreck, and Eli Creek. Oh, and the buffet at the resort? Small selection but it was delicious. I’d highly recommend this tour—we had an absolute blast!Written 15 February 2025
- 119christofferm0 contributionsK’gari 1 day tour reviewFirst of all, Keith was amazing. He really made sure everyone had a great time and is a very great and funny guy. The best tour guide so far! We saw a lot of beautiful and special places, especially the Lake McKenzie. The beaches were amazing and sightings just as good. Wish we had more time every place but besides that a very good trip. I would recommend it. Cheers and thanks from Denmark.Written 15 February 2025

- TomG9590 contributionsBeautiful place to visitVery informative guide. Had a swim in Mackenzie lake , had a long drive along the beach and saw the shipwreck. Had a 15 minute flight over the island which was fun. Swam in the creek . Lunch was amazing. Well organised tour. Highly recommend the day!Written 14 February 2025
- Jamie B0 contributionsAmazing place & Tour!Our fantastic guide Jean picked us up at the ferry and from there we proceeded to start a lovely tour of the island including a dip in Lake MacKenzie, a drive in a 4-wheel bus down the mostly deserted, gorgeous east coast beach. Morning tea and lunch were included. Jean covered all the safety issues including warnings about dingoes. Jean was very informative, lots of fun and very patient and kind. The tour continued the next morning with a great hike up to a gorgeous lake (forgot the name) and a visit to the stunning “Champagne Pools.” This day included lots of other great little visits, lunch and great commentary with a ride back later in the day to catch the ferry back to Hervey Bay. Thank you Jean for a great couple days (he’s also a great driver on the sand!) and K’Gari Resort.Written 14 February 2025
- Colgan99A0 contributionsKeith is the best tour guide ever and K’gari really is paradise!! Absolutely recommend doing this trip, 10/10!!Keith was an exceptional tour guide! Really knowledgeable and had such a great energy, which made the whole experience really enjoyable! We learnt lots about the island, its wildlife and the Butchulla people. K’Gari is absolutely stunning and each stop we made was somehow even better than the last. We booked on this tour last minute as our journey to Airlie Beach and Townsville got cancelled because of the floods. We were disappointed by the cancellations, but this meant we could go to K’gari! This was most definitely one of our highlights of our trip to Australia so far. We also got the chance to go on a scenic flight which we’d highly highly recommend, it was unbelievable! We’re just so sad the tour is over and we’d love to do it all over again tomorrow. Thank you so much to Keith for making the day unforgettable and super enjoyable and fun! The world needs more people like Keith :)Written 14 February 2025

What an amazing adventure, from the moment we checked in at the River Heads reception everyone was really friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. However the standout person was our guide Keith, his knowledge of the islands history, folklore, geology, wildlife and natural beauty is immense all delivered in an interesting way with depth and humour. He peppers all of this with a diverse music playlist ranging from traditional Aussie tunes through Greenday and on to AC DC ! Fantastic. Keith took us to all the must see locations and ensured we had time to enjoy them all. His driving was brilliant, motoring along 75 mile beach will stay with me forever. Thanks Keith for the best trip.

We stayed 2 nights a Kingfisher Bay Resort and 1 night at K’gari Beach Resort. Both resorts had the good breakfasts, beautiful pools, big bed-rooms. The free transfers were arranged nicely between the airport to the ferry then to the resort for both ways. The tour was great, our tour guide was also the professional driver. Mark Sarge drove us smoothly and safely on the roads, explained details places to visit and dropped us the tourist attractions, arranged nice lunches, afternoon tea, and spent extra time with us to take photos with the milky way. With his experience, we had 2 times to spot Whales, a few times to see dingoes. As a group of 4, we enjoyed the tour very much. Big thanks to Mark!

We did the K'gari 4 Day Experience Tour in December 2022. Picked up from our Hervey Bay hotel by very friendly guys and taken to Ferry to cross to Fraser Island. Stayed in Kingfisher Bay Resort and found we had the room over the 3 nights so could leave luggage there when we went away to Eurong Beach Resort (now K'gari Beach Resort) for a night. Only taking our small wheelie bag and beach bag we started our 2 days full of adventure in our 4WD big blue bus. Lake McKenzie is something amazing for a swim in pure water so unique. 70 mile beach's golden sands is the east coast of Fraser Island freeway which we whipped along to great spots like floating down a fresh water stream to the beach and a nice lunch was provided. So many things even a flight taking off from the beach if you wanted. I an only thank our driver Steve for his patience, knowledge and the easy going friendly way he took us to all these places. Thank you Steve. Jean and Barry

Amazing island and truly exciting ride around K'gari (Paradise) on bumpy sandy roads. Our guide was really cool, friendly, and knowledgeable, driving us safely while sharing a lot of information about the island. However, I was dissatisfied with the activity provider PRIOR to the activity. Communication was poor, with only one out of three questions answered with each attemptand, no itinerary provided other than the basics on GetYourGuide. You had to actively enquire and double-check everything. My booking time on GetYourGuide was listed as 2:00 p.m., but I was later informed my ferry was actually at 9:00 a.m., creating planning difficulties. The provider blamed third-party site errors. This confusion and lack of accountability were highly inconvenient. I would not book with them again.

A wonderful 3-day tour.
Everything went wonderfully, pick-up, transport, etc.
We saw an incredible amount.
For holidaymakers who don't have so much time, the 2-day tour can also be recommended. You see the same stops.
On the 3-day tour, you only have to stay in Kingfisher Bay at the beginning.
We liked it, but it wasn't absolutely necessary.
Don't pay attention to the times when booking, for us it was 2:50 p.m.
But Lis was 7:45 a.m.
Make sure to check with the local travel agency beforehand

The day trip was fantastic and our tour guide Martin was great he is a man that knows everything about Fraser. Only one thing I was disappointed in was the lunch it was cheap and nasty so don't think you are going to get something lovely because your not. I think if you pay a lot of money for a trip you deserve a nice lunch.
