What's it like on Fraser Island?

An absolute “must do” on any travellers list, Fraser Island offers the most primitive of nature experiences.  Standing proud as the largest sand island in the world, Fraser Island has over 200 kilometres of spectacular coloured sands, rugged volcanic outcrops, dense rainforest and dazzling freshwater lakes.

Encounter a diverse array of wildlife including turtles, whales, stingrays, dolphins, dugongs, dingoes, birds and wild horses.  Even if you’re not an avid wildlife enthusiast, you can’t help but be impressed by the myriad of creatures enjoying life in their natural habitat on Fraser Island.

Accessible from Noosa, Rainbow Beach, Hervey Bay and Brisbane, Fraser Island can only be discovered by 4WD vehicles hardcore enough to tackle the demand of the terrain.

Options for adventures on Fraser Island are endless.  You could take a self-drive tag-along tour for the ultimate camping experience.  Try your hand at four-wheel driving (age restrictions apply) and have a camp-fire in an Aboriginal campsite.  Alternatively, take a more relaxing option and join a fully-guided Fraser Island all inclusive tour.  Ranging for between 1 and 3 days, these Fraser Island eco trips come complete with air-conditioned buses, all meals and accommodation. 

Make friends and add to your lifetime memories by ensuring you hook-up with a group that’s right for you.  Email us at Tribal Travel with your details, and we’ll outline your options.
