In Rainbow Beach there are plenty of free parking spaces on the main street or in the side streets near our departure point. There is also a paid parking lot on Spectrum Street, opposite the Freedom Rainbow Beach Hostel.

On a day-long tour, you drive the 4WD yourself! An experienced guide drives the lead vehicle, with up to four other vehicles following under his guidance. He will explain to you over the radio how to drive safely on K’gari (Fraser Island). Drivers must be at least 21 years old and have held a manual driver’s license for 12 months.

All K’gari (Fraser Island) adventures start and end at Freedom Hostel Rainbow Beach (20 Spectrum Street, Rainbow Beach).

The departure time depends on the tides. It is important that you attend the safety briefing at 7:00 am on the day of departure. You will receive all the latest information there.

The return is also dependent on the tides and takes place between 14:00 and 17:00. We do not recommend the 5pm Greyhound bus to Airlie Beach – take the 7pm bus instead, then you have enough time to relax.

Yes, but with restrictions: Canned beer, cider, canned wine and mixed drinks are permitted. Glass bottles, spirits and boxed wine are not permitted.

On the 3-day tour we drive with manual vehicles, on the 2-day tour with automatic vehicles.

We’re going to the national park camp, sleeping in dome tents for two. Simple, but in the middle of nature!

Yes, the camps run on solar power and generators. There are limited charging points for cell phones and each car has a charging cable. It is best to fully charge your devices before the tour and bring a power bank.

No, as long as you follow the safety instructions of our guides. Respect nature and wildlife – especially dingoes – and keep your distance, then your trip will be safe and unforgettable.
