The driving was epic and the locations were unreal. The highlights were Eli Creek, Lake Birrabeen and Lake McKenzie.
The tour never felt rushed or chaotic just good vibes, good people and the most unforgettable experience. A absolute must for any East Coast road trip!
We travelled the East Coast, and this was by far our favourite activity. A huge factor of why this trip was amazing was because of our INCREDIBLE guide Graham.
Graham is by far one of the coolest and most knowledge people we have ever met - he knew absolutely everything about the island and we learnt so much from him! Not only was he knowledgable, but he was also very professional - we felt safe every moment of the trip, even when seeing snakes and spiders!
On this tour you stay in a house with shared bunk beds, it was super comfortable and clean. The food was good and we had SO much fun socialising with our new friends in the evenings. We played games and went on a night safari with Graham.
If I could do this all over again I would 100 times. Book for the best 3 days of your life!!!
I genuinely enjoyed every moment and created unforgettable memories. I would 100% recommend this experience to anyone visiting Australia. Truly one of the highlights of my trip !
The Fraser Dingo 4WD Tour on K’gari was without a doubt one of the best tours we did during our entire Australia round trip. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and truly memorable.
Our tour guide Graham was outstanding. His knowledge about the island’s flora and fauna was impressive, and he also shared a lot of fascinating insights into the history of K’gari. You could really feel his passion and respect for the island, which made the experience even more special. ❤️
The accommodation (the Bringabeeralong cottage) was beautiful - much nicer than we expected - with great showers and clean toilets. This definitely added a lot of comfort to the overall experience.
A big thank you as well to the two amazing volunteer girls who prepared the meals at the house and helped out wherever needed. The food was great and their friendly, positive attitude made everyone feel welcome. 🤗
Driving the 4WD ourselves on the sand was an absolute highlight and a truly unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience. So much fun and something we will never forget! 🏖️
Highly recommended to anyone visiting K’gari, this tour is simply fantastic!
Bob was a brilliant guide, with his local knowledge and he made it a fun experience.
Driving the 4x4 was great fun.
The island is really pretty.
The house was comfortable and we were glad we weren't camping when it rained
I would highly recommend this trip.
My tip would be to take plenty of snacks!
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!

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.
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!!
(Book with them directly for even better deals on the Fraser Dingo website)!
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 💕
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!
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!
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
I cannot say enough good things about Arty. Truly blessed to of had him as our guide.
It was a small group, I really enjoyed the atmosphere, the driving and the accommodation ! Do it you will not regret it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!!

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 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.
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
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.
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
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 :)
