Cool Dingo Tour ex-Sydney, 5 Days 4 Nights.

The first day
Choose and book your transfer time from Hervey Bay - the Kingfisher Passenger Ferry has five return services each day... just make sure you check in at the Kingfisher Bay Mainland Terminal (at River Heads) at least 30 minutes before departure.

After a 50 minute cruise to Fraser Island, arrive at Kingfisher Bay Resort to check in to your Wilderness Lodge accommodation. Relax, take to the tracks on a self-guided walk (but don't forget to tell someone where you are going), bubble away in the spa, or head to the Jetty Hut for an awesome sunset over water - one of only a few places on the east coast of Australia that you can see this!

Then enjoy an all-you-can-eat buffet dinner at the Dingo Bar and a comfy night's rest before the adventure begins. There's a regular shuttle service between the lodges and resort - check transfer times with resort reception.

Includes dinner.

COOL DINGO ‘DAY 1' 4WD TOUR
Enjoy a little sleep in and big buffet breakfast, then meet your Cool Dingo Ranger Guide at the Jetty Hut at 9.30am (when the other Cool Dingo passengers arrive from the 9.00am ferry). After the introductions and a quick briefing, your 4WD adventure begins!

Your guide is passionate about Fraser Island and will not only take you to the island's most incredible beauty spots, but also wow you with as many (or as little) fascinating facts about the island's history, fauna and flora. Keep an eye out for dingoes - it's the perfect Fraser Island souvenir!

Your guide stays with you for the entire tour and we promise some action-packed, cool times ahead or the cool dingo eats his hat!

Today's all about check out some of Fraser's coolest inland sights - rainforest growing in sand, oasis in the sand and the historical heart!

Basin Lake - first stop is a gorgeous walk in to 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 once bustling logging camp.

Wanggoolba Creek - walk along the banks of this silent flowing creek - seriously it doesn't make a sound - with lush green rainforest and rare king ferns... just breathtaking.

Pile Valley - check out the towering Satinay trees in this rich forest... real giants growing completely in sand!

Lake McKenzie - with its white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters, Lake McKenzie is even prettier than the postcards. Enjoy a refreshing afternoon swim before heading back to your base at Kingfisher Bay Resort on Fraser Island's western side.

Includes buffet breakfast, picnic lunch and buffet dinner.

COOL DINGO 'DAY 2' 4WD TOUR
All aboard for an early start to explore Seventy-Five Mile Beach - the world's most picturesque 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.  The temp stays the same all year round... will you take a dip?

Maheno Shipwreck - washed ashore during a cyclone in 1935, this rusting wreck is one of Fraser Island's must-do photo stops.  The rich red rust colours are gorgeous on a sunny day, but you'll still get moody, wonderful pictures on cloudy days1

The Pinnacles Coloured Sands - With all the colours of the rainbow (well just the reds really) these vibrant sand cliffs are another favourite photo stop.  Ask your guide about the Butchulla story of their creation.

Indian Head - climb to the top of this rocky headland - one of the only rocky spots on the island - for awesome beach and ocean views... look out for sharks, rays and humpback whales (Jul - Nov).

Champagne Pools - This place is literally bubbles of fun... chill out in these bubbling ocean rock pools, you won't want to leave!

Did you know that 75-Mile Beach is also an air strip... Air Fraser offers spectacular scenic flights over the island - book with your guide on tour (extra cost applies). 

Includes buffet breakfast, picnic lunch and buffet dinner.

COOL DINGO ‘DAY 3' 4WD TOUR
After the pace we've set, we'll slow things down slightly with a relaxing day visiting a few of Fraser's lesser known treasures.

Lake Wabby - walk through cool rainforest to beautiful emerald-green Wabby, Fraser's deepest lake and a favourite swimming hole.  This creek has been dammed by prevailing winds  sweeping sand into the middle of the island and is now known as a Barrage Lake.  It's pretty cool and totally different to Lake Basin and Lake McKenzie.

Hammerstone Sandblow - trek over one of Fraser Island's vast desert-like sand blows... no wonder it's the world's largest sand island... your guide will be waiting at the end to whisk you off to your next destination.

Eurong Beach Resort - for lunch we head to Eurong for a relaxed, all-you-can-eat (and then some) buffet lunch.  There's also a little souvenir shop for last minute gifts, great coffees in the bakery... and a swimming pool if you feel like indulging.

Lake Birrabeen - if you loved Lake McKenzie then Birrabeen will allure you with its sparkling clear waters and dazzling white beaches... this is  a great way to finish the tour!

Includes buffet breakfast, BBQ lunch and buffet dinner.

The last day
Spend an extra night on Fraser Island to relax and just enjoy this World Heritage wonderland. You'll awake to bird song, and enjoy another buffet breakfast before your return to Hervey Bay (check out transfer times above) and the rest of your East Coast adventure.. This day is all about you!

Includes buffet breakfast.

COOL DINGO ‘DAY 1' 4WD TOUR
Enjoy a little sleep in and a big buffet breakfast, then meet your Cool Dingo ranger-guide at the Jetty Hut at 9.30am (when the other Cool Dingo passengers arrive from the 9.00am ferry). After the introductions and a quick briefing, your 4WD adventure begins!

Your guide is crazy about Fraser Island and wiling to share plenty of fact, figures and fascinating facts with you (as little or as much as you'd like).  Cool Dingo guides know and love the island and will guide you to the island's most incredible spots, but also wow you with some of their favourite places. They're pretty quick to spot Fraser Island's wildlife and are happy to stop for a photo stop if dingoes, humpbacks or other creatures are around!

On a Cool Dingo tour, your guide stays with you for the entire time - they'll show you the ropes, probably tell bad jokes and make sure you get the most out of your time with us on the world's largest sand island.  Plus, they're experts at navigating some of the 1500km of tracks on the island.

Today we check out some of Fraser's coolest inland sights including the historical heart of the island; we take to the tracks for a walk and we stop by the island's famous whispering creek!

Basin Lake - first stop is a relaxed walk in to beautiful Basin Lake - you can get up close and personal with the resident freshwater turtles and just enjoy having this beautiful place to yourself!

Central Station - no trains or whistles here - just peaceful, ancient rainforest and the reminders of a once bustling logging camp.  It's the historical heart of the island and there are some great interpretation displays if you're interested in knowing more about the logging history.

Wanggoolba Creek - walk along the banks of this whispering creek - that's right, there are no rocks in the creek so it silently winds its way across the island - with lush green rainforest growing in sand and rare king ferns... just breathtaking.

Pile Valley - The temperature drops in the middle of the island as towering Satinay trees and strangler figs fight for supremacy in the rainforest.  There is a real Jurassic feel to this place... as you half expect monkeys and dinosaurs to crash out of the undergrowth.

Lake McKenzie - with its white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters, Lake McKenzie is even prettier than the postcards. Enjoy a refreshing afternoon swim in beautiful, fresh-water before heading back to Kingfisher Bay Resort.

Includes buffet breakfast, picnic lunch and buffet dinner.

COOL DINGO ‘DAY 2' 4WD TOUR
Today you've got an early start so we can explore Seventy-Five Mile Beach, the world's most stunning beach highway... but wait it's also a runway and make sure you buckle up as it's a gazetted highway and normal road rules apply.

Eli Creek - a great spot for a refreshing dip - this gorgeous creek is always popular in the warmer months despite it's temperature! Walk, wade or float down this fast-flowing freshwater creek - which pours out 80 megalitres of water daily - to the seaside.

Maheno Shipwreck - washed ashore during a cyclone in 1935, this rusting wreck is one of Fraser Island's most popular photo stops.

The Pinnacles Coloured Sands - With all the colours of the rainbow (well just the reds really) these vibrant sand cliffs are another favourite photo stop... and they have a great Butchulla story of creation - just ask your guide.

Indian Head - climb to the top of this rocky headland - one of the only rocky spots in this sand wonderland - for awesome views north and south - you'll get an appreciation for just how big this island is.  The ocean views are also second to none and prime spotting ground for for sharks, turtles, rays and humpback whales (Jul - Nov).

Champagne Pools - Then, it's time to chill out in the bubbling ocean rock pools - so appropriately named The Champagne Pools.  This place is popular all year-round.

To really get some perspective of the island, Air Fraser offers spectacular joy flights over the island.  You take off and land on 75-Mile Beach and get a bird's eye view of the sand blows, rainforests (which look like broccoli from this height) and the sheer size of the island.  You can book onboard with your guide (extra cost applies).

Includes buffet breakfast, picnic lunch and buffet dinner.

The last day
After spending an extra night on Fraser Island to relax and regroup, you'll wake up to Fraser Island's critters going about their business and make your way to the Dingo Bar for our brekkie breakfast before your return to Hervey Bay (see transfer times above). The day is yours to seek out as much action as you like or just relax beach or poolside with new mates...

Includes buffet breakfast.
