Embark on the ultimate K'gari explorer day tour from Rainbow Beach and discover the world’s largest sand island.
This full-day guided experience is the perfect way to uncover K’gari’s iconic wonders without the stress of planning or driving. Just jump aboard the air-conditioned 4WD coach, settle in, and let expert local guides lead you across ancient rainforests, crystal-clear lakes, golden beaches, and legendary shipwrecks.
Your day starts with a relaxing ferry ride before heading into the World Heritage-listed landscapes of K’gari. Swim in the clear blue waters of Lake McKenzie (Boorangoora), walk through the tall rainforest at Central Station, and enjoy the gentle flow of Eli Creek. Travel along the famous 75 Mile Beach where you may spot dingoes, birds of prey and, during the season, humpback whales. Visit the Maheno Shipwreck and see the bright colours of The Pinnacles sand formations.
This tour includes lunch at K’gari Beach Resort, return transfers, National Park fees, and commentary packed with stories, culture, and local secrets. For an extra thrill, you can even upgrade to a scenic flight and witness the island’s colours and contours from above.
