Highly recommended 😀
I say Kirk was 'indomitable' because everything seemed to conspire to create stress for him and he still came through. It was one of those tours where they pick you up outside your accommodation (that's why we chose it).17 people max. What could go wrong?
He was driving a colleague's bus and on a tight timeframe so we could catch the ferry and at least three groups or individuals were not at the appointed place at the appointed time. [Not us--we were excited and out the front of the H.B. Caravan Park well before time]. One guy even got on the wrong tour bus. Another couple wasn't on his manifesto, so we had to go back for them. We slid into the last slot on the Fraser Dawn on time ... or maybe they waited for us. 40-minute crossing over brilliant shining water. Some lucky sods glimpsed whales, but I was in the toilet taking photos out the window at the time.
Then we had to wait for the guy who'd got himself onto a women's tour by mistake at the other end, so Kirk took the rest of us up to Kingfisher Bay. I got to buy a dingo stuffy toy for my collection which was okay by me, but we were 45 minutes behind schedule. Loved that we had a chance to visit the Meyer Gallery too.
So, from the get-go, Kirk was racing the tide on the beach--we felt like we were on an exciting mission--but it also still felt as if we had bucketloads of time to stop and watch a couple of dingos strutting their stuff. My Sexy Hot Nerd travelling companion had his special big-boy camera and got some great shots out the bus window. The rest of us got some okay phone snaps. I think this was the highlight of the day for both of us. I'd seen dingos on two previous tours, but these two were actually doing 'stuff'. They were two litter sisters from last year---tagged in their right ears so identifiable as females. Red 24 and Yellow 24. And Kirk knew all this. 😊😊
This is my fifth trip to Fraser Island as it was unofficially known (Great Sandy Island as it was originally called by the white dude who 'discovered' it), or K'gari as it has been called for several years. I'll never get tired of the place. On a day trip, you go to the same attractions---Eli Creek, the wreck of The Mahino, the coloured sands at The Pinnacles, Central Station + Wangoolba Creek/Pile Valley and either Lake McKenzie or Lake Wabby.
Kirk fitted all that in and gave a running commentary that covered so much disparate information that there was something for everyone. Certainly an expert on history, ecology and driving to conditions.
Yeah. He also got the bus bogged in soft sand and co-ordinated younger passengers and passers-by to dig/tow it out. Pretty impressive. It took longer than however long a joy flight with K'gari Air takes. Maybe 40 minutes? We enjoyed watching the plane take off and land while he toiled in the sand under the diff of the bus. First time I'd seen that, except I had watched the plane land on the beach at Barra in the Hebrides. Kirk's Scottish accent was as lilting as those of real Scots, by the way. And we got a great lunch and afternoon tea served up to us at Eli Creek and beautiful Lake McKenzie. I would have been prepared to swim, but Hubs chickened out.
Sunset from the ferry was magical. Only negative point for me was that on a previous tour our guide had shown us a funnelweb at Wangoolba Ck (Eeeuuuw!). Glad we didn't relive that experience, but Kirk said it was okay for some of the younger guests to go down there barefooted. That may have ended badly if the funnelweb or any snakes were down there. They weren't, of course, so everything was good.
🥰😍🤩😀☺️ five emoticons.



We are so delighted that we had the day experience with him!
Thank you so much Kirk!





Dave was incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about K'gari — he had so many great stories to share. The bus was very comfortable, and even though it rained, we still saw so much! We spotted dingoes up close, Australian humpback dolphins from the ferry, and even white-bellied sea eagles. Dave kept us well-informed throughout the day with clear timings and insightful commentary, plus great recommendations for quieter spots. I'd definitely do it again — next time, I’d love to join a longer tour!







Thank you very much Pete for this wonderful day with many dingoes.


I would highly recommend this tour, especially with Pete as the guide. It was a truly amazing day filled with laughter, stunning sights, and unique experiences that we never would have discovered on our own. Thank you, Pete, for making our trip unforgettable!


The tour is extremely well organised. The pick up was punctual and Pete was very welcoming and friendly. We then collected the second couple and we were on our way.
K'gari is like no other place on Earth. It is simply magical. Pete's wealth of knowledge of the island and it's Aboriginal history is exemplary. Taking us out on the tour is not simply 'a job' for Pete; he has a real passion for what he does.
The shipwreck, the beach drives, the planes on the beach, the fauna and flora, the Dingos, Blue Kingfishers, Kookaburra and even the spiders were all brilliant! Lake McKenzie was breathtaking.
The only thing that we would change on our tour is that we wish we had done the 2 day tour.

I LOVE SEATING AT THE BACK OF THE BUS FEELS LIKE IM DOING ROLLER COASTER RIDE 😂👏👏. I haven't swim in the lake coz too cold for me though but I enjoyed the lake MC Kenzie swim 🥰🥰..

Of course the plane flight so good, love when the plane turning down👏👏👏👏😆😆😆.

The locations were great and we enjoyed our morning tea and lunch. Which there was plenty of.
I accidentally left my phone at our lunch stop, which was obviously not ideal but Dave made a detour on the way back from the ship wreck so I could check if it was still there . Thank goodness it was along with a cheeky selfie of a gorgeous group of people who must of found my phone and put it up on a ledge for safe keeping ( thanks guys)
All in all it was a fantastic day and we really enjoyed learning about Kgari ( Fraser Island) and seeing how beautiful this island is . ( photo of group of backpackers included incase they ever come across this review ) thanks again guys !







The guide was Kirk, a very knowledgeable guide who passed on information about flora and fauna as well as history of the island. He's passionate about his job and it tells.
The island is beautiful and historically interesting.
I highly recommend this tour.


Good company, good fun, good bloke
Andrew



Would definitely recommend these guys if you want an experienced, fun and educational tour of the island.
Thank you! ????????






He came with a nice Landrover 4x4. The best car Les told us to experience Fraser Island.
He didn't lie. Les droves us to and over Fraser Island. We felt comfortable and safe during the whole trip. Les knows a lot about Fraser Island, the animals, the plants, etc. It was great to hear him tell interesting things. Also his humor was our cup of tea.
And we were lucky to spot two Dingos and could take great photos of them.
Worth mentioning was Lake Mckenzie, the beach highway, the shipwreck and as mentioned before the Dingos :)
Thank you for an unforgettable experience at Fraser Island.
Johan, Christa & Jeanine from the Netherlands.
Highly recommend.

We were very well looked after in every way! Highly recommend this tour.



Our guide Kirk was simply sensational!!
His knowledge and story telling made the day.
At times it was quiet fast paced stopping at spots, but due to a delayed ferry over we had to make up time. But Kirk didn’t make you feel stressed just communicated what needed to happen to keep us on track. His driving skills are second to none, navigating some narly tracks & beach stretches at times.
We enjoyed the door to door service with pick up & drop off, especially after a big day.
Our only minor improvement feedback would be for some more meat in the lunch wraps. With such a big day a little more protein would sustain you better, it felt light on.
Overall though, highly recommend & such a. Great group size of 17 people.

loved swimming at zlake mckenzie and the photos just dont do it justice.
We are kiwis - so i were more concerned about the spiders and snakes than dingos. But Pete showed us a death adder snake - and it was peaceful and incredible.
We had a great group and enjoyed the company of the other couple. The bubbles, strawberries and chocolates a great way to finish a fantastic day.


We stopped at the major attractions including Central Station, the wreck, the Pinnacles, the creeks and more. A dingo wandered up through the crowd of people on the creek bank seemingly completely unperturbed by our presence. Kirk also stopped off by one of the light aircraft operators who were offering a 15 minute island plane ride for $100 per person. We took up the offer and enjoyed a fantastic flight over the island while Kirk met us further down the beach.
We would thoroughly recommend the Fraser Experience. Thanks Kirk! Lots of fun and thoroughly enjoyable.


A tour to remember for both us and our daughters (9 and 14)
Thank you, Pete. We had a beautiful day!

We saw all the main highlights of the island and came away with our heads full of the history, information about the flora and fauna and many stories well narrated by David (we called them audio books). Morning tea, lunch with wine and beer, and afternoon tea with strawberries, chocolate and bubbles were all supplied and all really nice.
We'd highly recommend this full day tour as an excellent way to see K'Gari (Fraser Island).


Pete was so accommodating and pleasant to be with. We really can’t say enough great things.
I would recommend asking for him - he’s spent 40 years on the island and you could tell you are getting a special experience.
I hope others enjoy the island as much as we did.




Just to let Kirk know, we have nothing for Fred but we hope that Kirk never stops talking.

Kirks respect and admiration for the Butchulla people also was very evident.
Kirk was so friendly,interesting to listen to, and he has a great personality and sense of humour also, which really added to our experience. Kirk picked us up and dropped us off back at our caravan park in Hervey Bay which made it so easy and relaxing. The return boat ride to K’Gari was also cool!
Thank you again Kirk for a brilliant day! We will be back!
Cheers
Ellie and Greg
