Fraser Island 5-day 4WD and Walking Adventure

Explore the worlds largest sand island in a totally relaxed atmosphere on a 5 Day Walkabout Adventure.  The camping safari departs Brisbane and guides you through the stunning landscape of the World Heritage Listed Fraser Island.  Each day you not only four wheel drive through the toughest terrain but you also experience the real Fraser Island by hiking through the forests and sand dunes, encountering the area in a unique way.

While on the tour you have the opportunity to swim in some of the most beautiful lakes in the world, spend the afternoon fishing in the surf, hike massive sand dunes or leisurely explore the tropical rainforests in the heart of the island.

Day 1

Make your way up the Queensland coast, past the stunning Glasshouse Mountains and through the Noosa area to emerge at rainbow Beach.  This quiet sea side town is home to the Cherry Venture Shipwreck at Double Island Point and the famous Cooloola Coloured Sands.

Refresh your self with a quick swim and lunch before crossing over to Fraser Island on the Fraser Island barge.  From here your friendly tour guide will take you to Govi Creek and Dilli Beach where you will set up camp for the night.  You have that afternoon to relax and go for a leisurely stroll along the beach, go fishing, take a bush walk or just relax.  Later that night a BBQ fish dinner will satisfy your hunger before you retire for the night.

Day 2

After your first night on the island you begin the second day with breakfast before heading off to the worlds largest perched lake, Lake Boomanjin and then Lake Birrabeen.  Here you have the opportunity to go for a swim and be guided on a walk through the surrounding bush land. 

The magical rainforest of Central Station and Wanggoolba Creek is your next stop.  Allow your guide to take you through this unique eco system, learn about the ancient plant life, the thousands of animal species as well as the past logging industry that utilised the area as a centre of operations. 

From here continue on to the stunning fresh water Lake McKenzie for another swim and lunch followed by Lake Wabby before heading back to camp for another tasty dinner.

Day 3

On your third day, the first stop is the largest fresh water creek on the eastern coast, Eli Creek.  Jump is for a swim, float down the fast flowing waters or just walk along the board walk.  From here the tour moves on to the Maheno Shipwreck, slowly being eaten away by rust, and being consumed by the moving sand, then marvel at the coloured sands that are etched in the sand cliffs.  Divert from the coast and head inland through the rainforest to Lake Allom, the home of the shy, fresh water turtles, then that afternoon explore Dundubara campsite, hike to Wungal Sandblow or just relax and enjoy some fishing off the beach before dinner around the campfire.

Day 4

Travel to Indian Head, hike to the top and spot local marine life in the water below, feeding around the rocks.  Turtles, sharks and stingrays all call the area home.  Head around the point to the Champagne Pools to swim in the rock pools on the oceans edge, then journey to the northern parts of Fraser Island such as Waddy Point and Ocean Lake.
