We depart from the Brisbane Coach Terminal on our luxurious ‘Gold Class’ coach, ensuring responsible travel with 100% offset coach emissions. We make our way to River Heads and board the ferry to K’gari (Fraser Island), where we are met and transferred to our accommodation.
We are off by 4WD to explore the island’s rainforests, eucalypt woodland, mangrove forests, wallum and peat swamps, sand dunes and coastal heaths. Our guided tour will tell tales of the tribes that occupied the paradise of K’gari (Fraser Island) at least 5000 years ago.As we discover the world’s largest sand island, our off-road adventure has us tackling inland bumps and humps as we travel past towering Satinay trees, followed by a stroll along the boardwalk through majestic beauty of rainforests and rare plant life. We unearth shipwrecks and sheltered bays and take plenty of time to stop and enjoy the view. We also stop off at picturesque Lake McKenzie, taking time here for a swim in the water which shines sapphire blue, surrounded with shores of snow-white sand.

Heron Island is a National Marine Park situated in the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef. This area is a significant nesting location for two threatened sea turtle species, the Green Turtle and the Loggerhead Turtle. Our tour to Heron Island is in the height of baby Green and Loggerhead Turtle hatching season. During hatching season, turtle hatchlings will erupt from their nests between 25 to 50 metres from shore and make their way to the reef, just beyond the water’s edge. Heron Island is a true coral cay and is ribboned by white sands, crystal clear waters and acres of coral with beautifully coloured marine life. The emphasis is on enjoying natural beauty. Stress is replaced by adventure, and your days are filled with discovery
