“One for the young at heart”

Their advertising says it all, this is a great tour for 18-35 year olds. Recently went on a three day two night tour. Had a great guide (thanks martin!) awesome weather, a wicked group and of course a beautiful island to see.

My boyfriend and I decided to do the two day tour. Upon arrival at Fraser Island we were met by our tour guide Kirsty. We were disappointed about the size of the bus. I don't know why but we had the impression that the cool dingo tours were small groups and that is why we booked with them. However our... More

This tour was very good. Our tour guide Brian was lovely. We did not get stuck one in the sand. The accomondation was lovely and the showers were great. The food was ok, nothing specially but lots of it. The only thing against this tour is that you are on a bus and not a jeep. A lot of people... More
