We did a two day tour of K’gari with Mark as our tour guide. He was garrulous, erudite and personable. He kept us on time with great charm and patience. The group was a fun mix of many nationalities. Even though we were more than twice their ages, we were made to feel welcome. The island was stunning.

We had the best time on our Fraser Island tour with Graham – he honestly made the trip. The island itself is stunning, with amazing beaches, lakes, and rainforests, but it was Graham’s stories, knowledge, and sense of humour that really brought it all to life. You can tell he genuinely loves the place and sharing it with people. Couldn’t recommend Dingos Tours (and especially Graham!) highly enough. It was an unforgettable few days exploring a beautiful place with great people and a top guide. Accommodation and food was great too!

We booked the 2-day 4WD Tagalong Tour last minute and were so lucky to get the last two spots with Fraser Dingo! From the moment we arrived, everything felt super professional and welcoming. The cars were spotless, the beach house was cozy and clean, and the whole trip was really well organized.

Our guide Bob was amazing – funny, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone had a great time. The kitchen team took great care of us too. The itinerary was relaxed but we still got to see all the highlights. Driving through the sand and along the beach was definitely a highlight!

Thanks to Bob and the Fraser Dingo team for an unforgettable experience!

Amazing tour experience! We did the 2 day tour and the only wish I had was that we did the 3 day one. The island is beautiful and the 2-day tour gives you a little taste of everything. Bob was a knowledgeable and fun guide, the meals were good and it was great to stay overnight on the island and get the full experience. Highly recommend.

From the moment we met Linda at the office we knew that fun times were ahead. Briefing for drivers and radio operators came next then we were on the road to the ferry with our guide for the next three days BOB. His friendly and professional manner has us at ease straight away. I could go on for ages about the places we visited but I won't as sone of them were hidden gems that maybe should be kept secret.
Our lodge accommodation was clean and comfortable and the girls (Mona and Luca) were wonderful at looking after us and went above and beyond. Note... if you are looking for 5☆ this won't be for you. The Lodge is one minutes walk from the beautiful 75 mile beach with Dingos! Shops are close for essentials like suncream and beers. Other than drinks you'll need for nothing else on the tour. We had so many highlights, nature and history walks and talks, lake and sea pool swims, wildlife galore, crazy driving in the forest and beach sands and beautiful scenery. Our group all loved our guide Bob. Patient, informative, caring, helpful, hilatious and very hard working. He's a total LEGEND!! THANKYOU BOB AND DINGO TOURS. You've been a massive highlight of our Aussie experiences.

I had a fantastic time with Fraser Dingo 4wd Adventures! It was 3 days full of adventures, beach time and unforgettable moments! Graham was a wonderful guide - full of knowledge about the island and got never tired of sharing interesting facts! Driving on the worlds largest sand island was not quite easy, but Graham managed to talk everyone of us drivers trough every difficult part which was amazing!
The volunteers provided delicious food everyday and also made this tour memoriable! I highly recommend the 3 day tag along tour as it gives plenty of time to explore the island :) 10/10 would book again! Thanks, G-Dog!!

Best Tour Guide EVER! We loved our tour & every minute with Graham. None stop jokes & I don’t think there is anything he doesn’t know! Plenty of facts, stops & amazing hosting from Graham and the Girls, Mona & Luca. I would definitely reccomend this tour to anyone & we are so sad it’s come to an end. We love you Graham!!

This tour was amazing! It was such a unique opportunity to discover this beautiful island (the largest sand island in the world!) in pink 4x4’s with a great group of people from all over the world. Graham was a superb guide - incredibly knowledgeable and engaging, organised, constantly working to make us happy and comfortable, funny and patient! This completely superseded our expectations and is definitely one of the best things we’ve done during our trip to Australia! Thanks so much to Graham and the Fraser Dingo team!

(Book with them directly for even better deals on the Fraser Dingo website)!

What an amazing experience! Me and my Fiancé had an incredible experience on this tour, we hit up all the hot spots and the tour guide Bob was incredible, so knowledgeable and always up for a laugh! The volunteers go above and beyond to ensure a great stay!

A group of 5 of us did this tag along tour and it was so much fun! Our guide Ash was super knowledgeable and fun and took us to some incredible places. We also saw 12 dingoes! The accommodation was great, really comfortable and clean. The volunteers were lovely and the food was great. Highly recommend this tour!!

Did the 2 days tour, it was amazing, great organisation, great accommodation and great food. Ash was such an amazing and knowledgeable guide! He is a passionate guide with a beautiful energy, it was so nice listening to all his stories about K’gari 😍 The two volunteers at the accommodation were lovely as well. Definitely recommend this tour ☺️

Wow! What a wonderful time we had with our amazing tour guide Graham! He brought a wealth of knowledge about the Island and it was so fun meeting people from all over the world! Despite it being rainy on our second day, our tour guide was able to adapt / change the schedule in order to still have a fun and engaging day.

Amazing experience! Graham is such a great tour guide. We learned so much and had the best time!
Also met the fabulous Linda who helped around the accommodation and made the place very welcoming 🥰
Not to mention the nice food we had those two days 😋
An overall fantastic trip!
Thank you guys ✨
PS: drove the best pink 4wd cars 💕

Really cool experience and well worth the $$! Linda, Pauline and Jess were feeding us too well and Graham showed us around the island. Really cool memories and loved people I met along the way as a solo traveller that’s important too

We had the best time out on K’gari for 2 days with our tour guide Graham and driving our pink jeeps on this beautiful sand island.
The tour was great fun with trips to beaches creeks and lakes, saw dingos and whales along with a wealth of knowledge shared by Graham.
We were well looked after at the beach house and Linda cooked fabulous food suiting everyone’s needs.
Loved this whole experience. If you are not sure, just do it!

Amazing Tour!! We had three days of great fun seeing all main attractions of the Island. Our travel group as well as our tour guide Graham were just amazing. A very nice accomodation, very good food and overall one of the best experiences we had during our time in Australia. Would highly recommend!

Bob is the GOAT – hands down the best tour guide ever!

We did the 2-day, 1-night tour and we are now part of the Pink Pony Club! The weather was perfect, blue skies over Eli Creek, the beach, and the Maheno Shipwreck. Day two we headed on a trek through the rainforest, a visit to Central Station, and stops at two stunning lakes, including the breathtaking Lake McKenzie.

We saw dingos—but don’t worry, Bob had us armed with the mighty dingo stick! We were well fed and watered throughout, and the accommodation was amazing—comfortable, clean, and a great place to unwind, way nicer than anything we expected on a remote island. During the evening, we stargazed and saw the Milky Way stretching over K’gari which was absolutely surreal.

Bob brought the perfect mix of chilled energy and good humour—always up for a laugh, with great stories and banter. You could honestly mistake him for an honorary Irishman! He kept the vibes high, answered every question with genuine enthusiasm, and made the whole trip feel effortless and fun.

The cherry on top was the peaceful sunset boat ride back to Hervey Bay—a stunning end to an incredible adventure. Do this tour for Bob himself—never mind the island. Can’t recommend it highly enough!

Would recommend Bob was really knowledgeable about the island and answered any questions you had. The house was lovely to stay in and very clean.

Next time, I would consider another company for a 4x4 rental. Next time, I would consider another company for a 4x4 rental. Our car was old and without AC, which they claimed was for environmental friendliness.

Car hire and stay at K'gari We did the drive yourself option with a great itenerary.
We hired a very reliable 4Wdrive at Fraser Dingo. After a very thorough hour long briefing we were cleared to go. Driving on K'Gari (Fraser Island) was a blast, we realy liked it. Staying in the bringabeeralong house was great, voluntears were very nice.
All in all a perfect experiance we can recommend everyone

Highlight of our east coast trip! We had so much fun on our 3 day tagalong tour! The island is absolutely beautiful and our tour guide Bob took us to the iconic, well known spots as well as some hidden gems. Bob was friendly and very knowledgeable about the island and its history. The house we stayed in was clean, roomy and not far from the beach, making it easy to access for sunrise, sunset and dingo spotting. Driving the 4WD along the beach is an experience I’ll never forget! It can be scary at times when driving on dry sand but there is a full health and safety briefing given before setting off and nobody is pressured to drive if they don’t want to. A lot of laughs and memories made with the other guests on the trip, such a lovely group to share the experience with. The only thing stopping this review being 5 stars is that the food provided was pretty basic, and very small portions. However, that is to be expected when catering for such a large group of people. We were able to visit a shop for snacks and fruit/cereal bars were provided in between meals. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an adventure of a lifetime.

Sand island wonders A great itinerary and guide, bob. Lovely accommodation and brilliant food. Got to see everything we wanted just with some rain one morning was the only downside

Great trip The trip was great, our guide was super nice and tried to give us the best experience. The accommodation was also good, it’s a nice place to relax after a long day. It has just two bathrooms, which can be a bit challenging for 20 people. And the food was mostly good but a little bit too less. So I‘d recommend to bring some snacks on your own. All in all a great trip with a good amount of time at the main attractions.

My girlfriend and I did the 3 day tour. Our guide Arty was THE MOST laid back and knowledgable guy we have met. He knew everything about the history and facts of Australia and everything to do with wildlife and vegetation on the island. Answered every and all questions with ease and a good twist of humour that suits anyone.
I cannot say enough good things about Arty. Truly blessed to of had him as our guide.

Had the most amazing time on this tour, our tour guide Arty was incredible, his passion and knowledge on the history of Australia and the indigenous people was so impressive. He taught us all so much, he is a real legend thanks so much Arty, what you taught us will stay with me forever. Couldn’t recommend this tour enough.

Amazing experience Such a great trip with an amazing guide (Arty). Learned a lot about the island and the indigenous people and saw some amazing places. Would absolutely recommend!

K’Gari 3D tour Amazing experience. We spend 3 days with an incredible guide (Arty) full of information about the island and the local culture !
It was a small group, I really enjoyed the atmosphere, the driving and the accommodation ! Do it you will not regret it.

Amazing trip!

Fraser/K'gari Island is an astonishing place and Ash from Fraser Dingo is the guide you want when you go there. He is knowledgeable about the nature, animals, history and myths of the island. He obviously cares for the island as if it was his own. Experiencing rainforest growing on sand dunes, driving on the beach, small hikes in the woods and bathing in crystal clear lakes made it all worthwhile. The surprising (unadvertised) highlight of the trip: We visited in July and were able to spot whales right from the beach, just 100 meters out.

On the beach, we managed to get on a short 20 minute (paid) plane trip with the most beautiful views of the island - and even the whales too. While it is an 'extra', I would recommend it any day as the price was definitely affordable (80 AUD).

Ash and his pleasent crew catered for the group with lunch and dinner in their house near the beach. We walked to see the beautiful sunrise early in the morning on our own carrying the provided Dingo sticks, just in case. While we saw lots of Dingos, none approached us at any time.

The group size was good allowing the guide to be there for the group as a whole but also individuals.

The trip was a part of a longer trip on the Australian East coast and certainly made it as one of - if not the - overall favourite on the trip. I would definitely recommend the trip.

Awesome 2 day 1 night tour. Ash was a really cool and knowledgeable guy. Saw some cool sides. The accommodation is also cool with nice comfy beds. Dinner was awesome. Lunch were the classic toast and wraps.

Had a fantastic time around the island in Teddi - a magnificent pink beast! The itinerary was brilliant and nothing was missed in the comprehensive briefing: we were totally prepared for our first off-road sand driving experience. Totally recommend!

FRASER DODGY DINGO 4WD Firstly, I want to disclaim that I have never once felt compelled to write a review on any experience with any business before now. But my woeful experience with Fraser Dingo 4WD has compelled me to pen this.

As we navigate through life, we do our best to avoid individuals or businesses that are generally horrible to deal with. We do our best to avoid any engagement with bad faith acting entities . but sometimes even those of us most alert to these corrupt operators unwittingly become entangled in their web of deceit, nastiness . and yes fraud. Sadly, amongst many others it seems, I too was ensnarled in the Fraser Dingo scam business model.

In my excitement and enthusiasm for my trip to K’gari with my 2 sons I didn’t pay particular attention to the manner in which the safety briefer (who I later came to know as the FRASER DINGO 4WD business owner – Ash, as he calls himself) conducted himself with me as his customer. At this stage of our engagement, his manner just registered as “a little off” a dude with of a bit of a bad vibe, if you will. Then there was the moment when I witnessed this same man berate one of his subordinates sweeping the floor of the business. A big red flag went up there “this guy is not very nice”, I thought to myself .. but hey . big picture .. I’m off to K’Gari with my lads so all is well in the world! Adventure Awaits! And it was .. until the car they gave us broke down within 2 hours of collection (it had more than 400,000 kms on the odometer) and was clearly not road worthy, let alone off-road worthy. On calling Fraser Dingo 4WD for assistance we received nothing but hyper aggression, rudeness, defensiveness, general bad faith acting and ultimately attempted financial fraud.

LET THIS BE A CLEAR WARNING TO ANYONE CONSIDERING ENGAGING FRASER DINGO 4WD: AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS because if you don’t (and I hope the irony is not lost here) IT WILL COST YOU DEARLTY!

FRASER DINGO 4WD have scamming baked into their business model and will attempt to take as much of your vehicle bond money using any pretext they think they can get away with.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

K’gari is an incredible place to visit and offers amazing experiences for all willing to venture to this special wilderness. Don’t let that amazing experience be ruined by dealing with horrible people running a scam business.

You’re welcome.

Very serious agency. We had a 1 hour briefing with everything explained, an itinerary based on the tides, and everything we needed in the car. The car was well maintained and safe. Thank you, we had an amazing journey on K’gari !

An incredible experience! Definitely one of the highlights of our travels along the east coast. We did a 2 day tour. It was a lot of fun getting to drive the vehicles around such a picturesque, one of a kind island and getting a glimpse at some of the native wildlife. Arty is a true Aussie and an excellent guide who is clearly very passionate about the island and the cultural and historical significance of all the landmarks/destinations we visited along the way. The volunteers at the accommodation were also very helpful and welcoming.

Highly recommended. Four of us are just back from doing the 3 day tag along tour and we had the BEST time. It was organised, professional and really good fun. The cars are easy to drive, big enough for 7 and the accommodation well thought out and much better than we were expecting! Plenty of food and snacks too.
The trips were all to stunning and interesting places. Special thanks to Arti for a really great overview of the island and for being a great host. All of us would go again in a heartbeat.

Book on Arty’s tour!! Go and explore K’gari with Arty! This trip is hard to beat and I simply cannot recommend it enough. It has everything from breathtaking views, comfortable accommodation, super friendly tour volunteers (shout out to Renz and Molly), fun driving experience, and tonnes of knowledge about the island. Arty is the ideal tour guide with heaps of experience and stories to share throughout the trip. We were super lucky with the weather but no doubt this spot of paradise is beautiful come rain or shine. Get yourself booked on asap!

100/10 experience with a fantastic guide (Arty) This was some of the best days of my life! We had an amazing guide called arty who made the experience ten times better with his knowledge, happiness and jokes so shout out to him (100% deserves a raise ????) I really recommend booking this trip as the views are once in a lifetime and you will never see some like it. 100/10

What an incredible two days.

Arty (Party without the P) was our guide, and our experience on beautiful K'gari wouldn't have been the same without him, his guidance, knowledge and stories.
We got to experience a small part of the island with someone who clearly is passionate about nature, culture and history.
The volunteers at the house were lovely, and everyone always made sure we were okay.
Highly recommend this tour.

What an amazing experience!

We were lucky enough to have Arty as the tour guide!

Arty was so knowledgeable with regards to the indigenous culture and K'gari island in general.

He always made sure that everyone was ok.

I would definitely recommend it!!!

The highlight of our trip to Australia! Absolute Must do!!! Oh where do I begin! I wish I could just relive this incredible experience all over again! K’gari is most definitely the highlight of our whole trip in Australia so far! This magical island captivated us with its beauty, history and wildlife! We were fortunate enough to have the awesome Arty as our tour guide, Arty is so passionate, informative and gets you involved with the culture of the island! He really gave us food for thought about the Butchulla people, the conservation of Dingos and preservation of the beautiful natural wonders we were immersed in during our 3 day stay on the Island. Stunning sunrises, eventful off-road driving in the jungle and along the beach then to top it off with a dip in the natural lakes! We were so lucky to have a fun group of like minded people who all got involved and engaged themselves into the full experience, which really completed this tour! I hope to do it all again one day!

I had the best Time discovering Fraser with Arty the super guide. He knows this island like the back of his hand and made our trip the most wonderful you can have. He explained us the history and culture of Fraser with a respectful state of mind. Thanks a lot, i hardly recommend it
Laurie T (one of the frenchies)

We did the 2 day 1 night tour with tour guide Graham. The trip was amazing and the driving was really cool - the spots we were taken to were all very worth doing and they packed a lot into the 2 days!

Unfortunately the water wasn’t working for most of our stay there, I think there was an issue with the filter but even so, it meant a lot of us couldn’t fill water bottles up, shower, or flush the toilet which really wasn’t great - considering what we’d paid to be there and a bottle of water at the shop was $8!!!

Our guide was very knowledgeable, however, he could’ve been friendlier. He seemed to get frustrated with people making small mistakes (mostly when it came to driving), maybe he forgot it was all our first time visiting and driving on the island. He also brought up some very strong views on topics like the covid vaccine etc which was really unprofessional. It made a few of us feel uncomfortable. The food was okay but perhaps could’ve been a little better. Accommodation was nice enough and the rooms got cool-ish in the evenings.

Overall I enjoyed the trip but the water and tour guide sadly had a bit of an impact on the whole experience. I’m hoping this isn’t the case for all their trips.

The BEST experience My friend and I did a 2 day 1 night trip with around 19 others. We had three cars and everyone got their turn to drive. Our guide was Arty who was absolutely amazing, we miss him already! The house was a great stay with lovely food. We made a lot of friends and there was an all round friendly nice vibe from everyone. Could not recommend this enough if you’re thinking of seeing K’gari!! Definitely our best Australia experience so far :)

Company yes, Car NO We hired the 1 night couples camper experience. The safety briefing and overall check in was great, we felt well informed and happy, minus the sales pitch of unnecessary items such as the wheel track and sleeping bags (don’t bother with either). Also adding on little things during the build up such as a 50 dollar permit didn’t make for the best build up. When we’d already paid an extortionate amount of money.

The main reason we would never do this tour again was the vehicle not being fit for overnight camping. We got 2 hours of sleep max, due to the heat, lack of ventilation and overall inadequate sleeping conditions. Not having AC or being able to open the windows in the night due to flies made it completely insufferable during the night. We were both excited to camp overnight and other vehicles on the campsite were equipment to facilitate this, but you could tell the car hadn’t been thought out well enough. We had no GPS, Radio or AC so it felt like extortionate car hire rather than a fit for purpose overnight van hire.

This review isn’t to put you off using the company, as I’m sure the group tour is great and doesn’t face the same issues, but I would have loved to seen a review on this prior to booking.

The only company you should do Kgari with ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The best k’gari trip possible, so we’ll organised and we’ll ran, the staff were brilliant, accommodation was so clean and much better than camping, would recommend to backpackers, couples, family’s, solo travellers, of all ages

2D1N tag along tour was enough to see the key points of the island, we had our vehicle complete snap one of the ball joints. Arty our awesome tour guide sprung into action and got another car out to the island in half a day. Made the whole experience still a magical experience and the girls the cooked and managed the beach house were amazing. I would do this tour every week if I could. Thanks again !

We had such an amazing time on our 3day tour. Arty was an absolutely incredible guide, we so valued all the extra information he gave us about the island and its history.
We visited all the main stops - everywhere was stunning. The group were all great too.
Overall a great experience and I could see many benefits over the other tours we saw around (no camping, smaller group, very knowledgable and fun guide)
Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a K’gari tour

Perfect tour We had such an amazing time on our tour. We like that it was a smallish group compared to other tours and mainly other young couples like ourselves. Arty was an absolutely incredible guide, we so valued all the extra information he gave us about the island and its history. The dorm rooms were comfortable and the showers good -much better than camping! The food prepared by volunteers was also good.
We visited all the main stops and had a great time trying driving which was fairly shared between everyone who wanted to drive.
Overall a great experience and I could see many benefits (better accom, really knowledgable guide, smaller group) over the other tours we saw around.

Did this tour 2 weeks ago. It was hands down the best tour I've ever been on. And it was made so special because of our incredible tour guide Arty. I would go on this tour just for him. He was incredible and his knowledge of the island and the indigenous history was great. On-top of being a great tour guide he was great fun too and we were often laughing out loud with him. 10/10 I would recommend this tour with Arty.

10/10 recommend! Best trip ever!! Amazing group, amazing food, amazing accomodation and tour guide! Thanks Scott for making it such a great experience for us

DODGY DINGOS, AVOID! We hired the couples camper for 3 days.
Cons:
- The company have a passive aggressive attitude and threaten (both in briefing and through stickers in vehicle) about total loss of bond ($2000!) if you drive through even a tiny bit of salt water. It’s a beach so impossible to avoid salt water entirely . for starters other vehicles often force you across or splash you. This made us worried about losing our money for the whole 3 days and ruined our experience.
- Claimed to be all inclusive but charged extra for essential items (a lamp- actually impossible to car camp without one), sleeping bags, traction boards (essential for driving in the beach, every other car had them)
- Charges you $60 for cleaning the vehicle after, we’ve never come across a hire car company that does this.
- Describes a ‘Luxury’ package - provides you with less than the bare essentials and the equipment provided is cheap and nasty. The pillows are microscopic.
- They have disabled the air con in the vehicle to save money - advertising their vehicles as eco friendly. The vehicles have V8’s and get about 10mpg there’s nothing eco friendly about them.
- The radio was disabled and the charger port didn’t work.
- No awning or rain proof equipment so when it rains, you have to sit in the car making the camping utterly miserable.
- The waiver we were forced to sign required us to circle any existing damage in the vehicle. When we noted damage and went to circle it we were immediately told not to circle anything and ‘it will be fine’. Very dodgy.

Pros:
- Detailed info given before trip, proved useful.
- Flexible about doing the briefing the day before and helped us to change barge times at last minute
- Detailed itinerary removed need for extra planning and squeezed a lot in.
- Car was pink and made for a good picture

Amazing experience! Honestly the best experience! I came on this trip on my own and came away with 20 new friends! Our tour guide Scott was incredible! It was well organised with delicious meals provided! The island itself was just beautiful with gorgeous lakes, beaches and wild life! 10/10 experience and would highly recommend!

Really good tour ! Highly recommend this tour! Thanks to our best guide Scott ! Island Is beautiful , cars are so cool to drive on the beaches , accomodation was clean and perfect. Also thanks for the gluten free option really appreciate it. 10/10 for me !!!

A truly bucket list experience, we did the 3 day tour and stopped in a group in the companies own building on the island. The tour guide scott was clearly passionate about his role, loved nature, conservation and loved the island. Scott was both a good laugh and informative on all nature subjects.

Driving both on the beaches and inland is so much fun, we were even lucky enough to have planes landing and taking off as we drove down the beach!

Every place had its beauty and charm

Can’t wait to go back and take friends :)

Just got back from the 3 day tour and I must say I don't regret a thing. Having 3 days really makes you appreciate the beauty of Fraser Island. Scott, our guide is awesome, always cheerful with plenty of good insights and lovely ozzie humour. What more can you ask for ? A good group, and that's exactly what we got which made the experience all the more enjoyable. Accomodation is great as well. If you go to Fraser Island search no further.

We did 2 days tour and it was great. Comfortable accommodation with decent food provided. And the most important AMAZING tour guide Artie. We get a lot of information not only about the island but also nature,all Australia it's geography and history. Thank you for all that. I definitely recommend the tour. ????

Terrible - Ashley is the nastiest human you will meet. BEWARE OF SAFETY OFFICER ASHLEY. HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT HIRING A CAR FROM FRASER DINGO.
READ THE OTHER REVIEWS RELATING TO ASHLEYS DISGRACEFUL AND ABUSIVE BEHAVIOUR.
Fraser Island was a place that my partner and I had wanted to explore for a long time. Dealing with Kylie and Jane via phone and email was a pleasure, but unfortunately upon our arrival things were set to change.
Ashley was to do our safety briefing and we have never been belittled, insulted or unnecessarily abused by anyone like that before in our travels in Australia or around the world.
He tried to pressured us into signing incomplete paperwork, constantly and rudely shut us down if we asked any questions or tried to have any input into the dictated itinerary.
He constantly ranted about how we would easily wreck the vehicle to violate the contract or loose our $2000 bond. STICK TO THE ITINERARY was his favourite saying. I’ve got 20 years of tour experience and been going to Fraser for 40 years I’ve sent 4000 people to Fraser tours. Well done mate, maybe spend some more time working on your social skills. Not everyone except you is a complete idiot.
When it came time for us to inspect the vehicle to cover ourselves, we were basically pushed out of the door with eyes rolling and sarcastic remarks from Ashley.
It was a horrible experience so much so that we emailed Jane and Kylie to ask if we could avoid Ash on vehicle pickup the next day.
When we arrived the next day I again got abused by Ashley for attempting to inspect under the bonnet. If we are liable for damages (water in fluids etc) damages and the general condition of the car on return, why can’t we inspect it before leaving?
Perhaps because the car was filthy underneath the bonnet and the body already covered in sand.
I took some photos and sent them the Jane and Kylie before and after the hire to cover myself.
We acknowledge it’s a risky business on Fraser dingos part to rent 4wd’s but as far as liability goes it’s all in their favour.
Ashley on this occasion (vehicle pickup) became aggressive and abusive to the point where I had to walk off he continued to abuse me as I walked across the street.
It was very upsetting for us both and the first day of our trip was ruined by it the rest of the trip we struggled to enjoy the driving incase we did accidentally damage the car and what abuse would be a result of that.
Ashley told us that there was no need to check the vehicles as the Fraser Dingo mechanics had 40 years experience.
Not surprisingly there was a clunking/knocking noise from the front every time we hit a bump in our car ‘Ringo’. Sounded like something was loose or completely worn out.
The demist function didn’t work on the windscreen so we struggled to see where we were going at times.
The passengers side seat belt would not retract so the vehicle clearly would not pass a roadworthy test.
Other than this the car went well.
It seems Ashley is a big fish in a small pond constantly telling us how much experience he had whilst belittling us at every opportunity.
He has obviously built up a feeling of power when he’s treated like a god by young foreign tourists who have no off road experience, or knowledge of semi remote places.
Fraser is an amazing place and we hope to revisit again under more pleasurable circumstances.
In the meantime let’s hope that Fraser Dingo find someone with some people skills to deal with the safety briefing. Maybe a jail warden or a career that involves bullying would be better suited for Ashley.
Anyway I’m sure Fraser Dingo will come back with some arguments to attempt to justify their actions.
I think there’s enough evidence in reviews to confirm our dealings are not a once off.
Once again thanks to Kylie and Jane you guys were amazing to deal with

We loved our Pink Betty, thanks guys n girls for an amazing day. When we booked this we did think we would just pick up the car drive on the island and beach. How nieve we were.

DONT book this unless you are a confident driver.

We hired a car for a 1 day experience, had to arrive at The collection point for 6:30am for a briefing and our route including tide times which had all been pre planned for us.
This briefing has to be taken seriously, once all sorted we headed off to the barge for 8:30am crossing. Had to reverse on this.
50 min crossing off the other end, about a mile road driving then it's 4x4 mode.

This is then soft sand single track driving, be prepared to stop and pull in. Make sure you adhere to the times given, it will make your day an enjoyable one, time keeping is key.

We did spend an hour at Lake McKenzie then followed the route and times given and got back at 4:30pm in time to get on the 5pm barge which then gave us an amazing sunset home.

Defo pay extra for the dingo clean. We paid an extra $40 for the sand things. Probably worth it although we never used them.

Take the dingos seriously, we read in the news later the day we were there someone got chased towards the sea.

I won't say anymore as dont want to spoil an amazing day.

Awesome experience The Team were all great. Our tour guide Mitch was very knowledgeable about Fraser Island and made the trip fun. We did the two day overnight tour.

We were fortunate to have a good group of people on the tour which helped make it a great two days.

The only criticism I would have is the couple that were looking after the house where we stayed. The house itself was great with good facilities but I got the impression it was the first time this couple had looked after a house like this. It was the little things like getting food or drinks while the guests waited that was a little irritating. A lovely couple - just a little inexperienced in looking after guests in a house like that.

You had the choice to drive the 4WD or not - totally up to the individual. Mitch checked in with everyone to make sure that if they wanted to drive they had the opportunity to so that no one dominated all the driving. If you didn't wanted to drive then that was ok too. Definitely recommend driving. I didn't think I would want to but did and was so glad that I did - it was so much fun.

The different spots we visited on the island were really good. Swimming in Lake McKenzie - a definite highlight as well as the walk to the sand dunes. You definitely need to be a bit fit as the walk to the sand dunes was just under 5km in total round trip and mostly uphill - but well worth the effort.

We saw dingos on the island and had the dingo danger talk prior to leaving. I definitely felt that if you left them alone they would leave you alone - but definitely dangerous if you got too close. I felt safe the whole time.

All meals are provided. You only have to take snacks if you want them. We took chips etc to have with drinks later in the afternoon and after dinner. They provided chilli bins to chill drinks. You are able to take alcoholic drinks with you to the island to drink at the house - which was good and a good way to socialise with others in your tour group.

Definitely recommend this company and this tour.
We arrived as 18 strangers and left with 18 friends from all over the world which was fantastic.

We did the 3 day tag along tour with Scott and we had a great time! Really nice way to meet some cool people. The tour itself was well organised, just follow the guide and enjoy your time on the island. Enough time to relax in between activities. The accomodation was tidy and clean, the food was fresh and nutritious. Everything considered good value for what your paying, would highly recommend this trip.

Awesome Experience! Clean, beautiful accommodations with hot shower and all the food fresh and delicious (and plenty of it)! Our guide was brilliant and full of knowledge shared while driving along the beach or through the rainforest the pink 4wd (which were in great condition). With the driver briefing and knowledge given by staff and guide, driving on the island was a breeze and so much fun. Highly recommend whether it be a couple or group of friends!
