The trip to K'Gari was a great experience. Due to the current weather conditions, it was not clear whether we could drive to the beach or whether an alternative would be used. This was openly communicated before the tour began and we were given the option of postponing the tour to another day. Our guide Geoff gave us excellent information about the island and showed us the highlights. We didn't have enough time at Eli Creek - about 15 minutes more would have been great. Overall, a fantastic experience and definitely recommended!

Had a fantastic trip over to K’Gari Island. Steve, our guide, was a lot of fun and provided constant information and entertainment once on K’Gari. He drove this incredible 4x4 monster bus, which is clearly required to navigate the sand island. It was a long day, but there was such great variety of things to do on the island, that the time flew round and we loved every moment. A very well thought out trip.
