What to do and see in Fraser Island, Queensland: The Best Walking Tours

September 30, 2021 Augustus Redeker

The turquoise waters surrounding Fraser Island are a frenzy of sea life. The world’s largest sand island is a spectrum of vibrant greens, and the World-Heritage-listed sand bar is simply stunning and the perfect spot for beach fishing. There aren’t paved roads here, just sand tracks, making the entirety of Fraser Island one big 4WD, off-roading adventure.

Did the 2 day Fraser island tour with Kev and Mark. We had a great time with the tour. Kev picked us up from Rainbow beach and we met up with Mark's group on Lake Mackenzie. Both had expectional knowledge about the island its flora, fauna, history and it geography. On the 2 day tour we essentially had more time at each location and did more locations as well. Lake Mackenzie and the champagne pools were our favourite!! Food was good. Eurong resort was ok for a night. Apparently the acccomodation is to be upgraded for the next season.. Buses were comfortable. Take the flight!!! Its worth it!!!
