Day 1 - Includes picnic lunch and buffet dinner.
Today we check out some of Fraser's coolest inland sights.

  • Basin Lake - first stop is beautiful Basin Lake - get up close and personal with the resident freshwater turtles!
  • Central Station - no trains or whistles here - just peaceful, ancient rainforest and the reminders of a former, once bustling logging camp.
  • Wanggoolba Creek - walk along the banks of this silent flowing creek with lush green rainforest and rare king ferns... just breathtaking.
  • Pile Valley - check out the towering satinay trees in this rich forest... real giants!
  • Lake McKenzie - with its white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters, picture perfect Lake McKenzie is even prettier than the postcards. Enjoy a refreshing afternoon swim before heading back to Kingfisher Bay.
----------

Day 2 -
Includes buffet breakfast, picnic lunch and buffet dinner.
An early start to explore Seventy-Five Mile Beach, the world's most amazing beach highway. 

  • Eli Creek - a great spot for a refreshing dip! Float down this fast-flowing freshwater creek which pours out 80 megalitres of water daily.
  • Maheno Shipwreck - washed ashore during a cyclone in 1935, this rusting wreck is one of Fraser's essential photo stops.
  • Coloured Sands - With all the colours of the rainbow (well just the reds really) these vibrant sand cliffs are another favourite photo stop.
  • Indian Head - climb to the top of this rocky headland for awesome beach and ocean views... look out for sharks, rays and humpback whales (Jul - Nov).
  • Champagne Pools - chill out in these bubbling ocean rock pools, you won't want to leave!

Air Fraser offers spectacular scenic flights over the island - book with your guide on tour (extra cost applies).

Day 3 -
Includes buffet breakfast and BBQ lunch.
A relaxed day visiting a few of Fraser's lesser known treasures. As this is our last day, don't forget to leave your luggage at the Wilderness Lodge storage area for our porters.

  • Lake Wabby - walk through cool rainforest to beautiful emerald-green Wabby, Fraser's deepest lake and a favourite swimming hole.
  • Hammerstone Sandblow - trek over one of Fraser's vast desert-like sand blows... no wonder it's the world's largest sand island!
  • Eurong Beach Resort - for lunch we head to Eurong Beach Resort for a relaxed poolside BBQ at the Beach Bar, overlooking Seventy-Five Mile Beach.
  • Lake Birrabeen - if you loved Lake McKenzie then Birrabeen will allure you with its sparkling clear waters and dazzling white beaches... you won't be able to resist a dip, a great way to finish the tour!
