Fraser Island Camping Adventures

Allow the friendly Fraser Island Company Team to take you on an award winning camping safari of the World Heritage Listed Fraser Island. The three day camping safaris depart every Tuesday and Friday, and give you the opportunity to get back to nature and experience the real Fraser Island. Camping doesn't necessarily mean roughing it, after a long day of exploring come back and relax at the well appointed tent village located at Cathedral Beach on the eastern side of the island, perfectly positioned to be central to all of the Island's main attractions. Also included in your three day safari is quality meals, national park fees, transfers to the island, all tours for three days and two nights accommodation.

Sit back and relax in the purpose built 4WD coach complete with air conditioning and large, panoramic windows as your expert guide drives you throughout inland tracks and along the sweeping Seventy Five Mile Beach. Personalised attention is ensured with each coach taking a maximum of only 16 passengers. Take comfort in the experience of your driver / guide as well as the up to date equipment, such as a satellite phone, as you journey across the stunning Fraser Island.

Day1: Your tour begins with a courtesy pick up from your Hervey Bay accommodation before departing the mainland to cross the Great Sandy Straits via vehicle ferry.  Your first Fraser Island encounter will be traveling through the interior of the island, discovering massive rainforests and bush land before emerging on Lake Allom and enjoying a scenic picnic lunch.  Here you have the opportunity to spot the timid fresh water turtles. Witness the spectacular sand blows slowly consuming the island's forests when you visit Knifeblade Sand Blow.

Cruise along the wide, sweeping eastern beach called Seventy Five Mile Beach and make your way to the famous Maheno Shipwreck, the coloured sands at the Pinnacles and stop at the fresh water Eli Creek for a swim. That evening enjoy a delicious dinner at Cathedral Beach Resort where you will also be staying for the night.

Day 2: Indulge in a sumptuous breakfast at Cathedral Beach Resort before heading off to explore the beautiful northern parts of the island. Climb Indian Head and spot sharks in the deep waters below, spend time at the Champagne Pools where you have the opportunity for a swim, and admire the local wildlife at Orchid Beach. You are allowed ample time to walk, photograph and swim during the day. After a picnic lunch the tour returns to Cathedral Beach Resort mid afternoon giving you plenty of time to relax, fish or hike before an appetizing BBQ dinner and overnight accommodation.

Day 3: Enjoy another delicious breakfast at Cathedral Beach Resort before heading up Seventy Five Mile Beach to Lake Wabby. Here you can partake in a morning of swimming or take the opportunity to explore the area on foot. The Fraser Island Wilderness Retreat is your next stop to dine on a tropical buffet lunch.  The afternoon is filled with activity, take a stroll through the magnificent Yidney Scrub Rainforest in the heart of Fraser Island, and then visit Boomerang Lake for birdwatching, exploring and swimming. 

After three days of exploring the marvel that is Fraser Island, the tour returns to Moon Point where you once again board the ferry before crossing the calm waters and heading back in to Hervey Bay. The courtesy bus will also transfer you back to your Hervey Bay accommodation.
