Fraser Island 4WD Tour from Hervey Bay

1 day
About this activity
After pickup at your hotel in Hervey Bay or meeting at Rivers Head, you’ll board the ferry to Fraser Island where you transfer to a comfortable four-wheel drive (4WD) air-conditioned coach. Your expert guide will share stories about the island's history, flora and fauna as you spend the day exploring the natural beauty of the World Heritage-listed island.

You’ll travel first to Central Station where you’ll stroll along a boardwalk next to the crystal clear waters of Wanggoolba Creek that stream over white sand through a rainforest valley. Discover idyllic shady spots surrounded by ancient king ferns and towering ghost gum and pine trees.

Next you’ll head to Lake McKenzie, a pristine gem with clear water and sandy white beaches. Note how soft your skin and hair feel after bathing in the fresh water of this picture perfect lake.

Then you’ll drive along Seventy-Five Mile Beach, a sandy highway where you can spot birds of prey and humpback whales (migrating July – November). You also can choose to sign up for a 15-minute scenic flight over the island (own expense) while the coach continues down the beach and meets the plane when it lands.

You’ll arrive at the spot where Eli Creek’s pours into the ocean. Follow your guide a short distance up the creek then float in the fast-moving water back to the beach.

Reboard your coach for photo stops at your next two destinations: the iconic Maheno Shipwreck–which washed ashore during an out-of-season cyclone in 1935–and the colored sand cliffs of the Pinnacles. Your guide will explain how the technicolor sand formations were created and the aboriginal legends about the site.

Along the way, you'll pull into a beach resort for a tasty buffet lunch. After your day’s adventures, you’ll catch the ferry back to River Heads and be returned to your hotel.

Great guide, ride along the beach and informative walks. Lunch buffet was good quality and plentiful. Definitely worth doing. Well organised into smaller buses from the boat. Weather was not great, so didn't spend too much time at different parts of the island. Would be a great trip if weather was better.

Great tour guide very informative and funny. Eli springs was beautiful. Wish I had my togs. Coloured sands was ho hum. lovely bush walk. Lake McKenzie was crystal clear and warm. It was just hard getting used to so many tour buses and people over there. Worth doing.

They promised more wildlife and they only delivered one scrawny young dingo The driver / tour guide was exceptional for both driving and knowledge of Fraser Island history and was very personable The lunch was very good

This was a real adventure! There are no roads on Fraser Island, just sand tracks, so the 4WD trip bounced around dramatically! Great buffet lunch followed by a wonderful drive along the beach- magical!!
