About This Tour

Departing from stunning Noosa Heads, our three day action-packed adventure tours are the BEST way to truly experience all that K’gari has to offer. Our epic tour guides will teach you all you need to know about four wheel driving on beaches and rugged inland tracks, while sharing stories of the unique history & culture of this wonderful island. At the end of each day, you can sit back and relax at our purpose built eco-campsite, a stone’s throw from the beach! Don’t worry about packing any camping gear or blankets, we have all of this sorted including eco outdoor beach showers and camp toilet facilities (festival style toilets). You can also tour with confidence in the knowledge that Island Expeditions™ holds Ecotourism Australia Certification for operating & inspiring our guests to travel in a way that fosters environmental and cultural understanding, appreciation and conservation.
