They say that there is a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow so that makes Fraser Island the BIGGEST pot of gold at the end of Rainbow Beach. Your two day Fraser Island adventure begins with a pick-up from your Rainbow Beach accommodation. A short drive has you arriving at Inskip Point for a 10-15 minute cruise across to Hook Point (southern tip of Fraser Island) before you make your way up the island.
Your guide takes all the hard work out of navigating tides and terrain. They are Fraser Island experts with local knowledge and an unmatched passion for the island. You'll drive across sand tracks to explore some of the most beautiful, natural spots and listen to fascinating facts about the island's history, fauna and flora in air-conditioned comfort. Keep an eye out for dingos, and migrating humpback whales (July - November).
Central Station - this former logging station that housed schools and shops for the bustling timber industry is now a tourist stop. Stroll along the Wanggoolba Creek boardwalk to discover the ancient King Ferns, towering Ghost Gums and Pine trees.
Lake McKenzie - enjoy a revitalising swim in the crystal blue waters and relax on the sandy white beaches... it's picture perfect!
Seventy-Five Mile Beach - as you drive along this sandy highway, you may spot birds of prey flying above or humpback whales as they migrate past (between July - November). You may wish to join the Air Fraser team for a scenic flight over the island - book with your guide on tour (optional extra).
Eli Creek - float down this fast-flowing freshwater creek pouring out 80 megalitres of water daily into the ocean.
Maheno Shipwreck - enjoy a photo stop at the rusting wreck of the Maheno washed ashore during an out-of-season cyclone in 1935 - it's one of Fraser Island's most recognisable sites.
The Pinnacles Coloured Sands - learn how these technicolour sand formations were created and the Butchulla legends surrounding them. We stop to take a picture as we drive along Seventy-Five Mile Beach.
At the end of the day, board the 17:00 ferry back to River Heads where our shuttle service will take you back to your accommodation (drop-off between 18:00-19:00).
