Review of K'gari’s full-day 4WD coach tour from Hervey Bay, with Lake McKenzie, Eli Creek, Maheno Shipwreck, lunch, and ferry transfers.

“Great visit to beautiful K’gari! One of the highlights was spotting a dingo family & the cutest little pup playing in the bush. The tour was informative & walking through the rainforest felt peaceful & serene. Our guide, Dean, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, friendly & had a great sense of humour - dropping plenty of dad jokes throughout the day, keeping everyone smiling. He let the whole group use all his personal bug spray, which we were very grateful for! Thanks again! I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to visit. You do spend a bit of time on the bus reaching each destination, but this is understandable…”

Review of K'gari's one-day 4WD coach tour from Rainbow Beach, with Lake McKenzie, Eli Creek, Central Station, Maheno Shipwreck, lunch and practical tips.

“We loved our tour guide Keith, he made the experience great. He so knowledgeable about the island and you could tell how passionate and interested he was in the island and what he was talking about. He was so respectful when he spoke about the Butchulla people which I admired. You do spend quite a bit of time in the coach and not a lot of time at each stop is my only critique but I know the day is short and there’s lots to cover so it’s hard to avoid but overall it was an enjoyable day.”
