Embark on the ultimate K’gari 4WD safari style camping tour—a 3-day, 2-night adventure that blends rugged exploration, cultural connection and classic Aussie swag camping.
Departing from Noosa or Rainbow Beach, this K’gari 3 day 4WD camping tour lets you experience the world’s largest sand island. You’ll cruise iconic 75 Mile Beach, swim in crystal-clear lakes, wander ancient rainforest growing straight from sand, and learn the deep stories, culture and spirit of the Butchulla people who’ve cared for this land for thousands of years.
Travellers over 21 with at least two years of driving experience can drive a 4WD themselves, enjoying a mix of guided support and the freedom of self-drive while taking on K’gari’s beaches and forest tracks.
Sleep under the stars at a permanent safari-style camp in your own swag tent. Enjoy meals prepared for you, shower outdoors, share stories around the fire when allowed, and relax into the island’s easy pace. It’s the true K’gari swag tour experience—simple, adventurous and absolutely epic.
Whether you’re chasing adrenaline, natural beauty or a bucket-list Australian experience, this Fraser Island safari-style camping adventure has it all. It’s social, immersive, eco-certified and packed with moments that stay with you long after you’ve brushed the sand from your shoes.
