I had such big expectations for Fraser Island that Im sad to say that I was very disappointed with this 2 day trip. On the positive side I did meet some really nice people on the trip and the tour guide was great. Very informative and friendly, and he made us a very nice bbq at the end of the... More

We did a day trip to Fraser Island and it is certainly a long day, but worth it to experience the island. A lot of driving, but if you only have one day then I would probably recommend it. Our guide, Edward was very informative and certainly made the day interesting. Highlights are driving on the beach and the visit... More

While staying in Noosa we made a daytrip with Fraser Island Discovery to Fraser Island. We paid AUD 169 for a day with tea and a lunch (BBQ and drinks) included. To be honest, the day included a lot of driving (mainly in rough terrain using four wheel) and a few stops (tea on the beach, swimming in Lake McKenzie... More

Being a solo traveller and the oldest person on the trip, Jeff the driver and guide was fantastic. His knowledge of Fraser Island and the rainforest etc. was very informative. the BBQ and the swimming in the lake was a great experience. I would recommend this trip as good value for money and a must for any visitor to Queensland. More

Max was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgable and shared so much all the way to the very end. This can be bit of a long day, I did the 1 day tour, but it was a great way to enjoy the views, history and landscapes. More

I was lucky enough to go to Fraser Island this month and had a wonderful time exploring the island, beaches are clean, and inland lakes were a real treat. Well worth the visit. 4WD vehicles only. More

We did a 2 day tour with Discovery and it was great. Our tour guide, Drew, was brilliant - extremely enthusiastic, knowledgeable, approachable, friendly and easily able to adapt plans when the bad weather hit. The bus was comfortable and spacious and we saw a lot of the island in two days. The accommodation was lovely - shared apartments (2... More
