We had an amazing day on this tour! We got picked up at our campsite in the morning and also dropped off at night and our driver was so nice to show us some spots where we could see some wild kangaroos in the morning since he knew that our place was close to where they show themselves often! The tour itself was super fun, amazing crew and a fun program! Since there are only around 30 people per tour it‘s more personal and you could easily make new friends on there like we did. We saw a turtle while snorkeling and even though we came off season for whales (and i think dolphins), on our way back we even saw a few dolphins! Food was really good and they had vegan options too! I definitely recommend doing this tour!

I had an absolutely incredible time at Fraser Island. It was definitely one of the best days in my life so far and the most beautiful place I’ve ever been! Apart from the island itself, the tour was well organised and there were many activities. Because of these, you are able to get a perfect impression of what the island has to offer. It just felt like paradise, to go snorkelling and see a shark. You can go water rafting, kayaking, snorkelling two times and go hiking (where I saw three Dingos). From the boat, I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles. The crew was kind and professional at all time! You felt welcome and everybody instructed you to the following activities. Especially Melanie from the team, was courteous and kind. She was the first person of the crew, who approached me and wanted to know more about me. She told us a lot about the island and what it stands for while hiking and kayaking. All in all, I would recommend the tour and do it again at every time. Thanks!
