Amazing experience. Many great stops along the way. Some interesting stories about the K’gari Island. Hayden made the experience a 10/10.

I wanted to do this tour for so long but didn’t want to camp out, this was the perfect alternative. The tour is basically the same as the two day getaway tour except the first night you stay in the kingfisher resort hotel. The sunset cruise for the evening was fully booked so I missed out on that and watched the sunset on the beach instead but it was gorgeous. I couldn’t do any of the walks or trails because I was on my own so in hindsight I would just do the 2 day getaway and save myself a few $100’s. The 2 day trip was so fun, the island is absolutely beautiful. The weather was gorgeous. The hotel on the 2nd night was nice too! The food provided was nice and I treated myself to a steak at the beach resort which was so tasty! Also the tour guide Andy noticed that I was travelling alone and spoke to me the whole trip, he was so friendly and full of knowledge and funny stories. We all joked that he was our ‘holiday dad’ (he doesn’t know this) because he had the group so well looked after and everything organised! It’s very clear that he loves what he does and works very hard! We got lucky with this driver and guide! The order of the itinerary changes depending on circumstance but it worked out really nice for us! The only negatives I can think of is that communication isn’t great, I had to email to get my booking documents as I booked through a third party and received an email from the resort with the wrong date. Then I had to guess where I needed to be on the morning of the second, and at what time as you aren’t told specifically. Also the backpacker deals website I booked through says that you receive two breakfasts and two lunches but you only get 1 breakfast and 1 lunch - the same as the two day tour. It should also be clearer that this tour is in a coach and not the small 4 wheel drive vehicles and it says max 30 people on the trip but the max is now 40. Anyway, super pleased I invested and went on the trip!

Hayden was a great bus driver, who knows a lot about the island and people. He even swapped the tour, that we had more time in the places and less driving cause the water come up the beach. Thanks a lot to him.

We had the most incredible 3 day tour to Fraser Island! Everything we saw was breathtakingly beautiful! The tour was very well organised and our guide Mark (Sarge) was fantastic. His knowledge of the island was absolutely incredible and he made all explanations very interesting. He is super kind and caring. We loved that he arranged a table for the whole group so we could have dinner together (if we wanted to of course). I’m scared of every creepy crawly, snakes, the lot! However, being led by Mark made me feel very safe. Thank you so much K’gari explorer tours, but especially Mark, who made our trip- you deserve all the recognition and credit! An asset K’gari explorer tours. Many thanks, Alice and Ben

We had a great trip on Kgari with some special moments at Lake Wabby, Eli Creek, Indian Head and Lake McKenzie. We even went in a light aircraft from the beach. The guide 'Mark' was absolutely fantastic. We saw two dingos and even whales. So why only 3 stars? The start of the trip, from the mainland side was a total shambles. Our La Vacanza Travel ticket instructed us to meet at a River Heads address at 2:50pm. That seemed a bit strange so we called the Kingfisher Resort office at 9am (in advance). At this point they asked "why aren't you on the ferry?". It was meant to start at 8:30am! WTF. So we had to rush to the meeting point at 12 noon (with our own transport) for the next ferry. When we arrived late, the reception staff BLAMED US for arriving at the wrong time. We felt really annoyed by this sequence of events. Due to the incorrect times printed on our ticket we missed out on most of our first day on Kgari. Finally, when I raised my concerns with online La Vacanza Travel staff noone seemed to understand the problem and tried brushing it off. Invariably, future guests will have to go through the same cycle of stupidity. PLEASE give better instructions to guests. A simple one page itinerary would have prevented alot of problems.
