Day-by-Day Itinerary
Day 1 — **Day 1: Rainbow Beach – K'gari (Fraser Island)**
We meet outside Freedom Hostel in Rainbow Beach at 7.30am, before a short drive to the barge (ferry). Once we have arrived on the world's largest sand island, put your seat belts on as we jump on K'gari's very own highway, the 'Eastern Beach'. On this day we will travel along 75 Mile Beach before heading inland via Eurong Beach Resort. We then drive on to Pile Valley, known for the towering satinay trees (hardwood) found through the area along with rainforest. Trek a short walk into the rainforest where you'll view the amazing trees whilst learning about some of the flora and fauna of the region. Board your 4WD for a short trip to visit the famous 'Boorangoora' (Lake McKenzie), arguably the most popular and picturesque highlight of our K'Gari Safari. We'll enjoy a bite for lunch whilst spending quality time relaxing and swimming in the lake's amazingly clear waters. (Note - there's bathroom facilities to change into your swimwear). Keep an eye out for 'wongari' (dingo) and learn from your guide the important information on how to treat the native wildlife and learn some of the traditional names. Once we leave Boorangoora we'll head back out to 75 Mile Beach and traverse to our exclusive permanent bell tents. We'll enjoy a sunset platter before dinner and a relaxing evening by the fire. If the skies are clear, your guide will walk a short distance into the darkness to provide you your very own 'K'Gari Star Show'. **Important to note**: the tides will dictate your arrival time onto the island, so we may include a 'surprise' on the mainland, before heading on the barge to K'Gari. Tides and weather may also dictate the order of the itinerary activities. Your guide will advise of the planned itinerary and the day's activities at the start of the tour. **Accommodation:** Permanent Bell Tent **Meals Included:** Lunch, Dinner
Day 2 — **Day 2: Lake Birrabeen, Central Station, Maheno Shipwreck, Eli Creek**
An early start to enjoy the sun rising over the Pacific Ocean before breakfast at our exclusive camp. We drive North along the 75-Mile Beach to one of the island's best known swimming locations, Eli Creek. Enjoy a swim in the crystal-clear fresh water. We travel on to one of the island's icons, the SS Maheno Shipwreck and learn about the ship's history prior to the 1935 cyclone. We'll then continue a short way South to Eli Creek, a beautifully clear creek, and perfect for another relaxing dip. If time and tide permits, we will then travel along the Southern Lakes circuit to escape the crowds and check out the tranquil waters of Lake Birrabeen. After the day's activities, it's time to head back out to the beach and follow the coastline South to the barge, returning to Rainbow Beach. **Important to note:** Due to variations in tides and weather, there will be times when your guide will change the order of the itinerary to maximise your adventure. **Meals Included:** Breakfast, Lunch
