Description
Why not take advantage of Rainbow Beach’s wonderful location next to the largest sand island in the world? By taking a Fraser Island day tour to the renowned K’gari (Fraser Island) with K’Gari Explorer.
A pick-up from your Rainbow Beach accommodation or self-driving to our departure site signals the start of the trip. Arriving at Inskip Point at 7.45 a.m. will allow you to have a 15- to 20-minute boat ride to Hook Point, which is K’gari’s southernmost point, before beginning your ascent of the island.
