The tour starts bright and early with various pick up locations around town so don’t worry about making your own way there.
This fully guided day tour from Fraser Explorer will see you board the ferry from the Inskip Point. Here, if you’re not already entertained by watching the 4WD Newbies get stuck in the sand then take a peek out the window and look out for bottlenose dolphins or migrating humpback whales (seasonal).Â
Once on the island you will be transported overland in a custom built 4WD coach from sand dune to rainforest and everywhere in between. Your guide and group will be cracking jokes and taking snaps throughout the day, making this trip one to remember.Â
Whilst this is only a 1 Day Fraser Island Tour, it has a brilliant bang for buck ratio. Included in your trip is a local guide, lush lunch and all the mandatory island fees & charges.Â
We’d recommend this trip for just about everyone but If you are looking for a wild party or down and dirty adventure then this trip probably isn’t for you.Â
This is an epic all-rounder. Embrace Fraser Islands history, wildlife and culture.Â

Such an informative trip with so much included. We felt we got a great look at the island. Totally worth it!
