Day 1Start your day by soaking in the coastal views at 75 Mile Beach! Then head inland towards the breathtaking Lake McKenzie, one of Australia's most famous sights. Go for a dip in the sapphire blue waters and rub your toes in the silky white sand. After a yummy lunch, head over to Central Station and admire the colossal trees of the dense rainforest. Go on a short bushwalk if you want, and finish your day relaxing at Eurong Beach Resort before turning in for the night. |

Day 2Head up to the north of the island to admire the views from Indian Head Lookout. Be on the lookout for migrating whales in the winter months! Then make your way to the nearby rock pools known as Champagne Pools for a dip in the salt water. Next, you’ll visit the famous Maheno Shipwreck! Take some cool photos of this giant shipwreck on the beach, and then have the chance to float in the calm, crystal-clear waters of Eli Creek. |

Embark on a leisurely stroll over the golden sand dunes and go for a swim in K’gari’s deepest lake. This is your last adventure on K'gari, so be sure to cherish every moment. Then have lunch and get ready to depart K’gari! |

Absolutely no notes! This was such a fantastic way to disconnect and enjoy a camping experience in Australia. Luke, our tour guide was responsible & dedicated to ensuring we had a safe and great time. The tour is a great way to meet some new travel friends & explore. Recommend to anyone traveling!

Great few days, Cory and Wozza were great and food/camp site were good too. Would have been good maybe to set up a few more games/"organised fun" on the beach potentially in the afternoons as wasn't much to do when returning to the campsite already at 4pm

Absolutely amazing tour, Corey was great. Jam packed days with lots of exploring of the island and being able to drive the 4x4 yourself is an excellent addition. Always stuff to be doing, camp was great with kitchen and camping facilities already set up. Absolute must do when in Australia

Really fun experience, highly recommend to anybody! Food was amazing and nobody ever went hungry. Would’ve been better if we had left on time and not lost out on time at Lake McKenzie, as it was the most beautiful place on the Island!
