Full Itinerary
2 Day Fraser Island Backpacker Tour - 4WD and adventure tour on the largest sand island in the world. Look for the cool dingos - Swim in Lake McKenzie with its white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters...

The cruise to Fraser takes around 45 minutes. Your Cool Dingo ranger-guide will meet you at the Ferry Terminal and after the introductions and a quick briefing, your 4WD adventure begins!

You'll need to have a day-pack ready when you check in at the boat harbour, as your first 4WD adventure begins as soon you get to Fraser. Your backpack or other luggage will be delivered to the Wilderness Lodge storage area for you to collect in the afternoon. Don't forget to pack your swimmers, towel, hat, sunscreen, comfy walking shoes or sandals, and of course a camera to click all the action!

Your guide is a true Fraser guru and will not only take you to the island's most incredible spots, but also wow you with fascinating facts about the island's history, fauna and flora. Keep an eye out for dingoes! Your guide stays with you for the entire tour - we guarantee a fun and entertaining time or the cool dingo eats his hat!

DAY 1
  • Today we check out some of Fraser's coolest inland sights.
  • Basin Lake - first stop is beautiful Basin Lake - get up close and personal with the resident freshwater turtles!
  • Central Station - no trains or whistles here - just peaceful, ancient rainforest and the reminders of a former, once bustling logging camp.
  • Wanggoolba Creek - walk along the banks of this silent flowing creek with lush green rainforest and rare king ferns... just breathtaking.
  • Pile Valley - check out the towering satinay trees in this rich forest... real giants!
  • Lake McKenzie - with its white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters, picture perfect Lake McKenzie is even prettier than the postcards. Enjoy a refreshing afternoon swim before heading back to Kingfisher Bay.
  • Includes picnic lunch and buffet dinner.
DAY 2
  • An early start to explore Seventy-Five Mile Beach, the world's most amazing beach highway. As this is our last day don't forget to leave your luggage at the Wilderness Lodge storage area for our porters.
  • Eli Creek - a great spot for a refreshing dip! Float down this fast-flowing freshwater creek which pours out 80 megalitres of water daily.
  • Maheno Shipwreck - washed ashore during a cyclone in 1935, this rusting wreck is one of Fraser's essential photo stops.
  • Coloured Sands - With all the colours of the rainbow (well just the reds really) these vibrant sand cliffs are another favourite photo stop.
  • Indian Head - climb to the top of this rocky headland for awesome beach and ocean views... look out for sharks, rays and humpback whales (Jul - Nov).
  • Champagne Pools - chill out in these bubbling ocean rock pools, you won't want to leave!
  • Includes buffet breakfast, picnic lunch and buffet dinner.
The tour returns to Kingfisher Bay Resort in the late afternoon. Wind down and enjoy a relaxed dinner before departing on the at 8.30pm ferry back to Hervey Bay, arriving at River Heads approximately 9.15pm From River Heads you will be transferred by bus to Hervey Bay or to your accommodation.
