Kirk (guide) was extremely patient, very very knowledgeable and funny too... He really made our day on K'gari very special. An experience one must do if visiting the Hervey bay area. Going back home to Kenya with a heart full of gratitude and some amazing island memories. Thank you.
Highly recommend Kirk as a guide (and we met his colleague Nathan as well who was super friendly)
Apart from the fact that we booked the cheaper tour option with a larger bus group, but due to the low season ended up exploring the island in a much more comfortable 4WD car with only two other people, the biggest advantage of our trip was definitely our guide, who was fantastic.
Our trip took place on the 25th of February, so unfortunately several months have already passed and I have forgotten his name, but I am also uploading his photo. He is a very positive person who connects with tourists very naturally, but without being pushy, which gives the whole tour a nice relaxed flow. The amount of knowledge he has about the island is unbelievable, and the way he shares this knowledge is phenomenal.
I will stop here with the detailed praise before I overdo it and just add that thanks to his approach there were plenty of great and often funny moments during our tour... and to the company owner, I will just say this: Whether now or when he eventually retires, this guy definitely deserves a big bonus. In my opinion, his attitude and approach to the job have certainly contributed enormously to creating fantastic experiences for customers and, as a result, to the growing popularity of the company.
We travelled in a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, which was clean, well maintained, and seemed perfectly suited for this type of terrain.
Pickup and drop-off were from our hotel, which was very convenient and as far as I remember, this is standard for Fraser Island tours offered by most similar companies.
The food provided during the trip was tasty and split into three stops that were well spaced throughout the day.
This was a really enjoyable tour and I can honestly recommend Fraser Experience Tours.
What an absolutely incredible day exploring Fraser / K’gari Island! We managed to see and do so much in just one full-day tour—it truly felt like we experienced all the highlights.
Dave was an amazing guide—so knowledgeable, kind, and an excellent driver (which definitely matters out there!). We also had the bonus of Bree joining us to capture photos throughout the day for the company, which made the experience even more special.
From Lake McKenzie to Eli Creek, the shipwreck, beach driving, and the stunning coloured sands—every stop was unforgettable.
Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting—worth every penny!
My absolute highlight was Lake McKenzie where we had more than an hour to swim and relax in the crystal-clear water. A stunning experience!! 🤩
Tony was incredible—his extensive knowledge of K’gari, combined with his engaging and friendly personality, made the day both informative and genuinely fun. He is truly a huge asset to the company.
The food provided throughout the day was high quality, and the added touch of champagne and strawberries made the experience feel extra special.
Eli Creek was stunning, and finishing the day with a swim in Lake McKenzie was simply beautiful.
Everything about this tour was amazing, and we can’t recommend it highly enough. It was definitely a highlight of our time in Queensland 😊
The small bus was comfortable, Kirk was very informative and entertaining. The group of about 20 was a good size not too big and we met some lovely people. Lunch provided was fresh.
This is the second time I have been to K’gari and it is still a beautiful place to visit, love swimming in Lake M plenty of change rooms/ toilets.
Thank you Kirk for a great day , highly recommend Fraser experience tours for your next visit to the Island.
Our host, Nathan, liked to talk and explain everything. Sometimes it was a bit too much, and our German travelling partners did not understand all that was said.
All in all a great experience
Kirk is also a fantastic storyteller. Every stop came with anecdotes, fun facts, and little details you’d never get from a brochure. It made the whole experience feel personal and memorable.
On top of all that, he’s one of the friendliest and most approachable guides I’ve ever had. You can tell he loves what he does, and his enthusiasm really lifts the day.
If you’re booking a tour on K’Gari, hope you get Kirk. You’ll be in great hands.
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.
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.
Parminder and Mandy
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!
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 🥰🥰..
Our driver Kirk help the big bus trapped in sand so we had get out and wait.
Of course the plane flight so good, love when the plane turning down👏👏👏👏😆😆😆.
say hi to Kirk!! We ask him to drop us at matra....

Thanks again Pete, keep up the great work.

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.
