The action begins with complimentary pick up from or near your accommodation at Caloundra to Noosa before proceeding across the Noosa River, that's bound for the Cooloola National Park, highlighting the Teewah and Rainbow Beach coloured sands, in which you stop for morning tea on the seaside.

And then, you’re in for a geniune Aussie BBQ Lunch followed by a relaxing freshwater lake swim, which tops off a great day of discovery on the World's biggest sand island.
Fraser Island: Treasures and Recreation
4WD Drive - feel the pleasure of the world’s best beach drive in one of the purpose constructed "Warrior" 4WD vehicles. These rides have been developed specifically and engineered for day tours, and they are easily the toughest and most comfy 4WD on Fraser. As Fraser Island is a national park, you need a permit for cruising on the island. The "Warrior" 4WD features roomy coach-style seating for up to 20 guests x 3 vehicles, individual air-conditioning vents, seat belts, digital PA and audio system for entertaining and academic remarks.
75 Mile Beach - this spectacular site expands along the majority of the east coast of Fraser Island (adeptly titled for its 75 mile stretch). Although the beach is not recommended for swimming (unsafe currents and tiger sharks), it's just beautiful and provides numerous thrilling showcases, like the Champagne Pools, Indian Head, the S.S. Maheno Wreck, and the breathtaking pinnacles at the high colored sand cliffs fronting the eastern surf beach.
Lake McKenzie - it is the favorite natural site on the island. As a 'perched' lake, it has only rainwater (no groundwater and it is not fed by streams as well as doesn't flow to the sea). McKenzie’s sand is pure white silica, which is not only beautiful to the eyes, but feels pleasurably soft to walk on. The lake’ sand behaves as a filter, providing the water its clearness; it's so pure it can support little to no life.
Fraser Island Rainforests - several rainforest plants on the island include hoop pine, king fern, tree ferns, strangler figs, blue quandong trees, piccabeen palms, and Cyprus pine trees. Also, subtropical jungles are in the centre of the island in the moist gullies. For example, Wanggoolba Creek valley close to Central Station has magnificent trees, huge kauri, rough barked satinay, brush box, countless piccabeen palms and more species.
Fraser Island is a host to unique features and discovery - an Australian gem ready to be explored and rediscovered.
