fraser island tour in brisbane

Getting to K'gari (Fraser Island) from Brisbane

K'gari (Fraser Island) is one of the most incredible places to visit in Australia.  Though most tours and 4WD car rentals to the island depart from Hervey Bay or Rainbow Beach , Brisbane is a common starting point for a trip to the world's largest sand island. As the capital of Queensland, Brisbane sees a huge number of domestic and international flights coming into its airport every day. So if you are coming from a different part of the country, or from overseas, you'll most likely begin your trip to K'gari (Fraser Island) in Brisbane. 

Brisbane: The Capital of Queensland Australia

Brisbane is the capital city of the state of Queensland in Australia. It is also one of the major cities in the whole of the country and is its third most populated city. With an international airport, this is one of the most popular fly-in destinations to access K'gari (Fraser Island). Due to its popularity and accessibility, it is often a departure point for K'gari (Fraser Island) , which is located about 240km up north. Brisbane is also a popular tourist destination in its own right when visiting Australia, particularly if you're working your way up or down the east coast . It's a great taste of the big city life and has everything you would ever want during a vacation! With many types of accommodation for every type of budget as well as countless restaurants, shops, museums, and theatres, Brisbane should be on every traveller's bucket list.

Getting to K'gari (Fraser Island) From Brisbane

While the drive to K'gari from Brisbane does take several hours, it offers great views and scenery. It is more common to leave from Brisbane for an overnight trip than a day trip, as the drive does take up most of your morning. The best way to reach K'gari (Fraser Island) from Brisbane is to make your way to Rainbow Beach along the Bruce Highway, where drivers can get a ferry across from Inskip Point . This is best if you're driving your own 4WD and are getting the ferry on your own.

If not, visitors also have the option to join a tag-along or guided tour , which takes the same route, except with a tour guide and driver! This is the best option if you don't have your own vehicle and would like a fully guided, all-inclusive tour.

Tours from Brisbane to K'gari (Fraser Island)

There are several tours that offer guest transfers from Brisbane to K'gari (Fraser Island) on both day and overnight trips, departing for the island from Rainbow Beach. Guest transfers from Brisbane are less common than cities closer to the island, meaning there are fewer tours to choose from if you would like a guided tour. Another option is choosing to stay overnight in another town closer to K'gari such as Hervey Bay or Rainbow Beach where you will have a better variety of tours to choose from.

Leave Pippies Beachhouse 7am sharp, our Fraser Island Tours kicks off with a 20min barge ride from Inskip Point to Fraser Island.

Drive in awe up the first portion of 75 mile beach to Eurong. We then head inland towards Lake McKenzie

Arrive at Lake McKenzie and take a dip in these incredibly pure, clear waters. Words do not do this amazing lake any justice.

Drive to Central Station where we eat lunch and walk along the waters of the very special Wanggoolba Creek. Learn Fraser Island’s history in a time before this beautiful island was protected. We then leave for a drive back to 75-mile beach and onto Pippies camp.

Arrive at our incredible campsite and chill after a long day.

Dinner time! Cook a BBQ together with your new Fraser Family and spend the night socialising together next to a campfire or under the covered seating area.

Wake up early to a breakfast of beans, chipolatas, bacon & hash browns with toast before getting back in the cars to head further north.

Arrive at the Champagne Pools to cleanse under awesome waves crashing over into the natural rock pools, creating the bubbly “champagne.” Then back to the cars again for a short drive to our next destination.

Climb the stunning Indian Head (one of the few rocks formations on the island) to spot the amazing marine wildlife that can be seen off of Fraser Island. If luck is on our side, we can normally spot Humpback Whales (August – October), Sharks, Sea Turtles, Dolphins, huge Rays and many schools of tropical fish. Next a drive back to Pippies camp for lunch and then onto our next location. (Indian Head is currently closed to all visitors on the island.)

A short drive down the beach is the largest creek on the Eastern Beach; Eli Creek. Take a walk up the boardwalk with a rubber ring and float down these serene waters. Eli Creek pumps up to 4 million litres of fresh water into the sea every hour!

The second to last location of the day is a short drive from Eli Creek and Pippies’ Fraser Island Tours camp; the Maheno shipwreck. As the sun lowers in the sky watch the rusty wreck against the sea sky and incredible coloured sands seen up the coast.

Finally, a short stop at The Pinnacles on the way back to Pippies camp. Seen from the beach this sand formation is a prime example of the coloured sands seen all up the Fraser Coast.

Arriving back at Pippies camp to take a breather after an amazing day, wash away the sand in the amazing amenities block just a short walk from our campsite…… then more food! As part of our Fraser Family, we cook a chicken and vegetable stir-fry, followed by another night of socialising under some of the Southern Hemisphere’s most spectacular stars.

Drive a moderate distance down the Eastern Beach to the entrance of Lake Wabby. Here we will walk for around 40-45 mins down a beautiful sand track through the bush and out onto the Hammerstone Sandblow. Located a short walk along the sand blow, Lake Wabby is the deepest lake on Fraser Island. So be sure to take a dip and chill next on its shores.

After our lunch on the beach, it is time to make our way back to the barge and Rainbow Beach. But not before hunting for the mysterious Eugarie and learning the meaning of our name: Pippies!

Arrive back at Pippies Beachhouse in Rainbow Beach between 1pm and 4:30pm. (dependant on the tides) Chill for one last night with your new Fraser Family!

Fraser Island Tours

Fraser Island

Heritage listed Fraser Island is the world’s largest sand island, situated just north of Queensland’s capital city Brisbane. It is known as K’gari, translating to paradise, by the traditional indigenous owners, the Butchulla people.

Best of Fraser Island

Fraser Island encompasses unbelievably diverse landscapes and unique wildlife undisturbed in their natural habitat.

Natural gems on the island include Lake McKenzie, surrounded by beaches pure white silica sand and crystal-clear waters. Eli Creek, a beautiful freshwater swimming location, is situated on the eastern side of Fraser Island. The Maheno Shipwreck on 75 Mile Beach is a must-see for a photo op and hopefully spot packs of wild dingoes who are known to roam freely around the island. There are endless amounts of beauty everywhere you look on the island and its one of our top destination recommendations!

This tour departs from either Rainbow Beach or Noosa to begin the day with an early start to ensure that there is plenty of time to see all that Fraser Island has to offer. You will be transported around the island with a fully trained tour guide in an off-road 4WD. As there are no roads on Fraser Island, 4WDs are essential to access all the hidden gems of the island.

K’gari Fraser Island

Our guided tours, thank you….

to everyone at The K’gari Fraser Island Adventures (formally Dropbear Adventures) we really couldn’t of asked for anything more from our Fraser Island Tour! Welcoming hosts, cosy accommodation, super well organised & an authentic Australian experience on a magical island. Our guide Troy was super passionate/knowledgeable about the island and its history and people. We hit up all the hotspots on a flexible itinerary adapted to the daily conditions to get the best out of some of the awesome island spots! The boomerang lessons and paddle boarding on Lake McKenzie were definitely a highlight and no better time to visit as the wildlife was at its best, seeing plenty of Whales on our beach drives! 

K’gari is such a beautiful place..

K’gari Fraser Island Adventures did an amazing job of showing us around. Their accommodation is great – clean and cosy. We stayed in winter and they had hot water bottles and extra blankets in the room, which was much appreciated! Hannah and Mark are such great hosts. They truly care about the island and did a fantastic job of showing us around and telling us about the history of the island. I loved hearing about the Indigenous history of the island and their stories about it’s creation. The 4WDriving was so much fun too! I would recommend this tour to everyone – it’s truly amazing!!

K’gari Fraser Island Adventures is a tour company like no other, we don’t just “do Fraser Island tours”, we tailor a K’gari Fraser Island tour experience which will carve a memory in your mind that will forever.

There are many Fraser Island Tours to choose from but none quite like N oosa to Fraser Island adventures.  Having founded Drop Bear Adventures in 2010 that grew into an award-winning tour company before becoming a travel guide, we know what it takes to create and deliver one of the best tour experiences in the world.

Our scheduled and private Fraser Island tours offer so much more than a Fraser Island trip, we take care of everything you need along the way to feel comfortable, safe and entertained so you can relax and just take it all in.

Visit Fraser Island from Noosa with a company that cares deeply about our impact on the island and the environment as a whole. Dedicated to true sustainability, we do our best to live by the 1st law of the island, what is good for the land must come first. We invite you to respectfully explore K’gari with us. Let your mind wonder as we share stories of the island’s history and her peoples. It’s important that we protect the worlds most fragile eco systems and thats why we founded the Community Beach Clean Ups and dedicate $10 of every ticket to our clean up events.

FOLLOW THE LEADER STYLE 4WD FRASER ISLAND TRIP

Tag along in our 4WD’s for the best Fraser Island tour from Noosa and experience an amazing adventure. We take care of all of the logistics as we lead the convoy of up to 4WD’s around the island. All cars are in full radio contact and you can choose from a variety of driving conditions to learn all about 4WD on sand.

Our Toyota 4WD’s are rugged and reliable vehicles that are geared up perfectly to suit beach driving and they all have automatic transmissions so you can concentrate on taking in all the sights of the most beautiful scenic drive in the world.

See K’gari Fraser Island Differently

Every K’gari Fraser Island Tour will show you the highlights of the island but not like us. We’ll take you to crystal clear waters of Boorangoora (Lake McKenzie), to the salty rock pools named Champagne Pools and of course to the ‘natural lazy river’ of Eli Creek but you wont feel like a visitor, you will feel like a local. Our K’gari Fraser Island Adventures are backed by our love of fun, flare for story telling, respect for culture and passion for protecting our planet.

We care deeply for this island, it’s where our love story began. It’s our home, our hobby and our happy place. The Butchulla peoples translation for K’gari is paradise, and though she can be a tricky place to navigate, losing yourself in island time is always breathtaking. We also offer private F raser Island tours so do reach out if you have something super special in mind. 

Best Tour Highlights Include:

• Crystal clear waters of Lake Boorangoora (Lake McKenzie)
• Cascading sand blow and emerald green waters of Lake Wabby
• 360 o  views of Tukkee (Indian Head)
• Picturesque rusty icon of the Maheno Shipwreck
• The frothing rock pools of Champagne Pools
• The lazy river of Eli Creek
• Towering Central Station Rainforest
• Coloured sands of Rainbow Beach (only with tours departures from Noosa)

2 Day Fraser Island (K’gari) Tour Departing Rainbow Beach Itinerary

We head out of Rainbow Beach nice and early to get to our first stop, the ferry terminal. To get to K’gari (Fraser Island), we first need to take the ferry. After approximately 15 minutes we’ll board our 4WD bus again and start our 2 day tour. So sit back and relax! Our next 2 days are filled with activities and incredible sights.

One of the prettiest beaches on Fraser Island is Lake McKenzie and a haven for anyone looking for paradise. Enjoy a swim and appreciate the beauty of the lake. We’ll then stretch our legs at Central Station where you’ll be able to walk along Wanggoolba Creek Boardwalk to take in the towering trees of the rainforest.

Relax in the serene waters of the windy Eli Creek that pumps around 4 million litres of water each hour into the ocean.

The Maheno Shipwreck, one of the most iconic sights of K’gari (Fraser Island), washed onto land in 1935 after a sudden cyclone and has been stuck in the sand ever since, creating astonishing views.

Learn about the Indigenous Dreamtime stories that surround these brilliant, cliff-like sand formations. Experience the magnificent 72 colours of unique red, orange, and yellow sand up close.

If you’re looking for a fantastic aerial view of the coast and surroundings, Indian Head is the place to be. After a short walk, you’ll arrive at the top of the rock where you’ll be in awe of the beautiful vistas. Keep your eyes peeled for turtles and rays, they’ll be swimming around the rock below you.

Located near 75 Mile Beach, Fraser Islands highway, are the Champagne Pools. These magnificent ocean-level pools, which were hollowed out of massive chunks of volcanic rock, are ideal around mid-tide, when breaking waves produce a natural, bubbly spa. Make your way along the boardwalk and enjoy a delightful dip in one of the pools.

Lake Wabby is something special! This lake is hiding between huge dunes and offers emerald green water. Jump in the lovely water and relax your legs for a bit because you’ll have to hike to get here (you can reach the lake after 4km). Please note, this activity requires a moderate fitness level and is optional.

Swimming. The ocean and waters surrounding K’gari have multiple riptides, no lifeguards patrolling the beaches, and known for shark attacks. We highly recommend NOT to go swimming in the open ocean, regardless of your swimming competency. The weather is quite mild year-round. The temperatures during the Summer reach the low 30’s during the day and Winter nights can hover around 10 degrees Celsius during the night. This trip requires a moderate level of fitness as it involves a number of short walks, allowing you to really get among nature. Please bring sturdy, comfortable walking shoes, comfortable clothing, a cozzie (swimwear), and a towel. Group participation makes up a lot of this trip, so you’ll be required to help with the preparation of meals and cleaning up. These are the kind of tasks that bring a group closer together.

Too oberpriced, bad organized, way to less to drink for the heat, to less and poor food quality, Even if the guides were nice (Thank you Tad for all the interesting knowledge!!)would not recommend this tour for this higher price compared to other 2day tours. especially when you start from rainbow beach as it starts noon and you waste the whole morning while other provider start early…

Amazing tour. The tour is well organized, and allows to see the major spot not to miss.

Everything was very good, facility was clean and also good bathroom and hot shower, dinner was a bbq with salad and bread very good and delicious, however the lunch on the first day could be better, same for the breakfast.

the crew was awesome, and k'gari is wonderful, tho it was a bit expensive

동양인이 우리밖에 없어서 좀 뻘쭘했어요 아무래도 언어의 장벽이 크니 막 끼긴 어려워서 저랑 제 친구는 좀 여행 내내 조용히 있었어요. 그래도 프레이저 섬 저체가 예쁜 곳이 많고 좋았어요! 차는.. 편하지는 않으니 브리즈번에서 출발하는 건 비추애요 이동시간만 왕복 10시간이에요.

Fully satisfied, really arranging, helpful services from the booking platform. The actual trip was wonderful, guude really knowledgeable about the area ...

We had a great tour despite the weather! Rhett was brilliant!

Nice trip on Fraser Island with a good guide (and drive on the beach). The weather was not the best one but we succeed to see all the natural sites (lake Mackensie - Lake Wabby - Eli Creek - walk in the rainforest - the Pinnaples - the old boat on the beach...). Maybe a little bit quiet : 2 days trip with 1 night but in reality approximately 26 hours on the island. Don't hesitate to book this 2 days trip

Wayne was a great guide! Loved the tour

Great tour, small young group, cool ride and the tour guide Wayne is an absolute legend. Like everything on Fraser, all in all pretty expensive, but I never could have seen that much in 2 days. Overall I can recommend it.
