There are many ways to enjoy the magic of Fraser Island... But there can be only one best way and we need just a day to give you the very best.
Your adventure begins with complimentary pick up from your local accommodation at 0620 hours, before heading across the Noosa River, bound for the Cooloola National Park. An exhilarating drive along wet sandy beaches leads you to Rainbow Beach coloured sands. Over a cup of coffee or tea with fresh danish pastries, you may learn of the mysterious legends surrounding these magical cliff faces. We celebrate your adventure with chilled champagne and orange juice served on the silken beaches of Rainbow Beach.
Through Rainbow Beach to Inskip Point, we embark on the barge to Fraser Island... a brief crossing that may delight you with sightings of playful dolphins. Travelling 75 mile beach is an exciting experience as we navigate the pristine sands towards Eurong Village, then the off road terrain into the island's core. Discover the awe of nature as you are guided through the rainforests of Central Station or Yidney Scrub, before a leisurely lunch stop at Lake McKenzie, Lake Birrabeen, or one of the island's spectacular freshwater creeks.
Your return journey is an invitation to enjoy the forestry wonders of Fraser Island - scribbly gums and eucalypts contrasting with blackbutts and string barked satinays. Back on the mainland, we enjoy afternoon refreshments on deserted beach stretches before returning to Noosa by 4.30 p.m., in time for you to recharge your batteries for an evening of leisure following a day of adventure.
About Fraser Island
Fraser Island attained its World Heritage Listing in December 1992 in recognition of the island’s exceptional sand dune systems, its rainforests on sand and its pristine freshwater lakes and is the tenth World Heritage listed site in Australia. It joins the ranks of the Great Barrier Reef, the Wet Tropics of Queensland, Uluru National Park (formerly Ayers Rock) and Lord Howe Island. The listing recognises Fraser Island’s combination of environments as having outstanding universal value.
Fraser Island has emerged from a century of exploitation of its rich resources - timber, sand minerals and fish. Logging and sand mining have ceased after many years of campaigning by environmental groups.
The challenge for the island in the future will be in managing the growth in tourism but the responsibility of protecting Fraser Island for future generations belongs to all visitors in respecting the island’s environment. Suncoast Safaris practices responsible eco tourism.
