Itinerary

 

Day 1: Depart Rainbow Beach

 

The morning starts bright and early with our compulsory tour briefing at 7 a.m. sharp at Freedom Hostel. Here, you will receive comprehensive information to prepare you for this exciting journey. You will be placed into groups and have the opportunity to organise sleeping bag hire and luggage storage. You will also be taught how to drive safely on Fraser Island ahead of your big adventure!

 

We aim to depart Freedom Hostel for K'gari (Fraser Island) by 9:30 am, which can take approximately 10 minutes to drive to the barge (ferry) and board for your 10-minute barge crossing. Once you have arrived on the world's largest sand island, drive for 1 hour to the Eurong Beach Resort along 75 Mile Beach - K'gari's (Fraser Island) own highway with speed limits!  There, you can grab a coffee and chocolate croissant (at your own cost) for morning tea.

 

From here, the adventure really begins as we drive to the famous Lake McKenzie, one of the most popular and picturesque highlights of K'gari (Fraser Island). We stop for lunch and time to swim and relax in the amazingly clear lake waters before driving up the beach to your campsite around 3:00 pm.

 

Settle in for an early dinner, well-deserved drinks and plenty of fun!
