This was a long day with a lot of bumpy rides on the beach and in the rainforest but it was a great tour. We had a lovely ferry ride to the island. Spent more time than I expected riding on the 75 mile beach. We spent time at the creek, would have liked a little longer there. I decided to do the plane ride on the beach . It was not too expensive 80 dollars. It was a great experience to see the island from the air and see sharks in the water and take off and land on the beach. The lunch was 3 courses and had lots to choose from - very good. The other creek which was in the rain forest was very serene and peaceful. Lastly swimming in Lake Mackenzie was great. It so clear and not cold. It was really refreshing. Lastly Butch the guide was friendly and was so full of information I do not know where he stores it all. He drove well, gave people a chance to ride in the front of the bus if they wanted too. He took photos of you if you wanted him too. He also showed us a Guyana he had found climbing on a tree. He imparted lots of information to us. Well done driving and talking Bu5ch. I would definitely recommend this trip

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.

The trip to Fraser Island was very good. I enjoyed the ferry ride over and the guides were wonderful. I felt there was a lot of wasted time on the trip. The rain forest was great but we didn't spend much time there. The ship wreck was a waste of time and I didn't really like being on the bus just driving on sand for about an hour it was boring. I would have liked to have seen more and have been able to walk more on the trip.

Fabulous day out, I would highly recommend this trip. It rained all day on our day trip and although this disappointed us it did not spoil the day. Our driver mark was the best.

We enjoyed the tour day very much. It was well organized, the hotel pick up was on time. The tour guide was very good, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the whole tour day.

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.

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!!

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

When you get to Fraiser then prepare for a very bumpy ride. The environment and beachside was fantastic to take in, also the shipwreck. Interesting about how the island was built, with our skilled guide. We took the not included scenic flight, and saw the sand dunes and lakes from above not possible to see otherwise. Mind that for 80 dollars you get 15 min in the air.

Would highly recommend this trip. Peter was a great tour guide who knew everything there was to know about the Island it's history and the wildlife. The plane trip is worth the money to see the Island from above.

Too much time on the bus (more than 60% of the total time). It was fun for the first 10min but then you just want to get to the places. The beach is OK but you can’t swim or anything. The Eli creek is just not worth visiting. It’s a pitty that we did not spend more time on the lake Mckenzie.

Had a great day Sean our driver was great told us lots of information and story's._br/_ He did well as we had a puncture managed to get us back for lunch where he got it repaired._br/_ Would have liked to spend more time at the lake and walking through the rain forest and less time at the wreck._br/_ But would recommend this trip as the island is great.

The drive was great, Mark was knowledgeable sharing many interesting facts about the island and fauna and flora. Lunch was ok nothign to write home about. Time at Lake McKenzie was limited and the weather was not co operating. Overall a great experience, glad to have seen the island.

We experienced a wonderful day trip to Fraser Island. We found the trip even better than we had imagined and the buffet lunch was very good as well. We also thoroughly enjoyed our plane trip which was an extra which took off from 75 mile beach and we were given wonderful views of Fraser Island plus hidden lakes including butterfly lake. Swimming in Lake Mackenzie rounded off a thoroughly enjoyable trip despite it being late in the day and was a bit chilly. Would definitely like to go and perhaps do a two day or even three day trip to Fraser Island

Tour was great Very interesting and our guide was excellent
Review by: Barbara G, August 2017
We had a great day. Although we were a bit on a rush all the time because some fellows were late in the morning, the rest was really good._br/_ It's really worth to take the plane in 75 mile beach. You'll see the island from the air way much better than from the bus. And if you are lucky like us, you'll be able to see some whales too :_br/_ Lake McKenzie was amazing. You probably won't see anything like that anywhere else._br/_ The only thing we didn't like much was lunch. They could make a better effort with that.

We took this 4WD day tour of Fraser Island in March 2017, the day after Cyclone Debbie hit the coast. Pleasantly surprised by a gloriously sunny day, the tour and the Island lived up to it's reputation. Thank you Murray for a fabulously informative tour and for your expert driving skills. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire day's activities, our swim in the 'perched' Lake MacKenzie being the highlight for me. My husband and I would highly recommend this tour. The calm seas, the balmy temperature and the spectacular coral pink sunset on the return trip back to the mainland, was a most perfect end to an idyllic day. Thank you Fraser Coast Tours.

Fantastic day on Fraser Island from beginning to end. We were picked up at our resort and returned back that evening. Our driver/guide was great, the food at the buffet was good, and everything we saw was amazing. It is a long day, but well worth it!
