Time

It’s time to sit back and let the experts show how to really experience their slice of paradise.

Discovering remote swimming holes, hiking through lush rainforests, exhilarating 4×4 drives on white-sand beaches and diving into a crystalline perched lake. With so much to see and do on K’gari (Fraser Island), getting yourself organised can be intimidating!

Instead, treat yourself to some insider knowledge, and book one of these top-billing K’gari (Fraser Island) tours.

How long to spend on K’gari (Fraser Island)?

You can definitely see some of K’gari (Fraser Island)’s highlights on a day trip. But we should warn you: it will be tricky to fit everything in. This is particularly true if your itinerary includes more remote experiences, such as dipping in the Champagne Pools or hiking across the dunes to Lake Waddy.

To fully experience this UNESCO World Heritage-listed location, stretch out your trip to three or more days. As well as being able to see and do more, by sleeping overnight on the island, you get first dibs at famed K’gari (Fraser Island)’s beauty spots, like Boorangoora/Lake McKenzie when you beat day-trippers there in the morning.

K’gari (Fraser Island) tours from Hervey Bay

The nearest start-off point to Fraser Island, Hervey Bay is the other major location to visit for out-of-towners on the Fraser Coast . Once you’ve done the must-do meet-and-greet with the majestic humpback whales this coastline is famous for , it’s time to head to K’gari.

1. Blue Dolphin Marine Tours

Say ahoy to adventure and hop aboard one of Blue Dolphin Marine Tours’ sailing tours. Explore the coast of the world’s largest sand island and meet local marine residents like whales, dugongs and turtles over a half-day or full-day tour. Top off your day (and your glass) with the sunset yacht tour with all-inclusive bubbly.

2. Fraser Island Hiking

Longing to do a hike on K’gari (Fraser Island), but wince at the idea of lugging around tent poles? Fret no longer, because Fraser Island Hiking has the tour for you. Go pack-free with all-inclusive meals over two days or do the Fraser Islands Great Walk in style over four days with deluxe accommodation and catering included. Committed to the burn (and saving dollars)? They also offer a full-on camping tour, with walking groups, hiking equipment and 4WD drop-offs.

3. Tasman Venture: Remote Fraser Island Tour

Take the path less travelled on this one-day adventure tour of K’gari (Fraser Island)’s lesser-known spots . Snorkel in search of sting rays at Wathumba Creek, kayak through verdant mangroves, check out the teeming array of birds and dive into secret water holes. In winter, you can add a spot of whale-watching to your itinerary too.

4. Fraser Tours: K’gari Explorer

Driving your own 4WD is by no means the only way to explore the island. Instead, hop on a 4WD bus as part of the K’gari Explorer Tours one-day tour , sit back and be driven around the top sights. Highlights on this family-friendly tour include floating along Eli Creek and swimming in the perched waters of Lake McKenzie, as well as a heart-racing drive down 75 Mile Beach to spot dingoes and a stop at the fascinating Maheno Shipwreck.

Departing Rainbow Beach? K’gari Tours also offers some trips from there.

K’gari (Fraser Island) tours from Rainbow Beach

You can get to K’gari (Fraser Island) from its south side via the coastal town of Rainbow Beach. From there, visitors can either drive the 14km to the Inskip Peninsula to get to K’gari under their own steam or jump on a tour that has pick-up included.

5. K’gari Explorer Tours

K’gari Explorer Tours runs one and two-day tours from Rainbow Beach to the island, and three, four and even five-day tours that depart from Hervey Bay. As well as highlights such as Lake McKenzie, Central Station and 75 Mile Beach, the award-winning  K’gari Explorer Tours, also stop at sites like Lake Wabby, the Champagne Pools and Hammerstone Sandblow.

6. Dingo’s Fraser Island

Are you itching to get the keys in the ignition of a 4WD … but a tad nervous about getting bogged in all that sand? Dingo’s Fraser Island offers a 4WD tag-along tour, meaning you’ll be part of a convoy led by the tour guide.

Take the three-day tour and undergo the 4×4 driver training before setting off for an adventure that hits up all the top Fraser Island sites by day stopping only to camp under the stars at night ( learn more about K’gari (Fraser Island) camping in our guide ). Aimed at the 18 to 35 set, this tour is one for the young – or at least, the young at heart!

K’gari (Fraser Island) tours from Noosa

Coming from the Sunshine Coast will take you just over two-and-a-half hours to a departure point for K’gari (Fraser Island). While this may add a bit of extra effort for the average daytripper, it is still very manageable to take a tour from Noosa to K’gari (Fraser Island) (particularly if you extend it to a few days).

7. Air Fraser Island

See the magnificent island and sparkling ocean from the skies, on a flight with Air Fraser Island . Options include a short scenic flight, a one-day flight/4WD exploration combo, and a multi-day island stay with accommodation. Air Fraser Island flights depart from the Sunshine Coast and Hervey Bay Airport, as well as from the island itself.

8. K’gari Fraser Island Adventures

Get in touch with nature with the eco-conscious tour company, K’gari Fraser Island Adventures . Offering a range of sustainable tours, options include tours that are partially guided (so some wriggle room to do your own thing), tag-along 4WD adventures, ones that focus on sharpening your photography skills, as well as an ‘Eco-Warrior’ conservation tour. Departs Noosa and Rainbow Beach.

Best of the Coast - Sydney to Cairns 16 Day Flashpacker Adventure Tour

Not long home from a fantastic trip and still can’t believe how much Via Travel manage to pack into the time…koalas, kangaroos, Aussie bbq, beaches, snorkelling, scuba-diving (so glad I braved it!), racing against the tide on K’Gari, stunning Whitsundays (even in the rain), and the most perfect sunny day on the Great Barrier Reef….to name just a few of my highlights. Our tour guides, Cara (week1) & Justin (week2), were great too - enthusiastic, friendly, informative & so helpful. Being a small group tour, they had time to get to know everyone and ensure we were all having the best time! I’d highly recommend Via Travel to anyone and definitely use them again if I ever get back to Australia.

My boyfriend and I travelled from Brisbane to Cairns with Via travel two weeks ago and had the trip of a lifetime! The tour had the perfect balance of sight-seeing and relaxing so it really felt like a holiday while also seeing and experiencing some amazing places! It was fun, well-organised and stopped at all of the must-see places on the East Coast! Our tour guide, Jason, was friendly and informative and had an outrageous amount of knowledge on everything East Coast, from local knowledge, information about the wildlife, history and culture to restaurant and bar recommendations! His energy kept us going, even when we were tired, and made sure that everyone had a great time! Although everywhere we visited was amazing, some of the highlights for me were Magnetic Island (our favourite!!), which gave us the chance to see koalas, wallabies and lots of wildlife up close and in their natural habitats, snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef, where we saw incredible aquatic life and coral (an absolute must do!!) and our Indigenous culture experience with Kuku Yalanji tours where we were completely out of our comfort zone but learned so much and got a real insight into local culture. We absolutely loved the small tour group size too, which allowed us to get to know everyone really well within a couple of days and make friends from all corners of the world! The group dinners and nights out that we had were so much fun! Whether you're a nature enthusiast, adventure seeker, or simply looking to explore the beauty of the East Coast, this tour with Via travel is a must-do experience and one that I will be recommending to all of my friends!!

What people love about fraser island tours.

Amazing 4 weeks in Oz! The organization of the hostel check-ins and the Greyhound rides were very good. Shannon was the most lovely tour leader and always ready to help with everything, which made the trip even better. Also the time we spent in each place felt just right. Only thing I would change about the itinerary are a bit more activities and less full free days. But overall it was a great experience!
I joined this tour in Brisbane and thoroughly enjoyed it. My fellow travellers were a fabulous mix of nationalities and we gelled together well. The trip included great beaches, amazing snorkeling, and natural wonders together with a friendly , fun guide Justin who made sure we were informed and supported. Definitely book with Viatravel for a great tour.

How a Rhode Island pawn shop employee rescued a Kentucky singer's missing guitar

local fraser island tours

Kentucky singer-songwriter Nicholas Jamerson has had a love-hate relationship with his Martin guitar for the last 10 years.

The Sundy Best frontman brought the guitar on tours as a back-up, but grew frustrated because its sound didn’t lend itself to live performances. But, it's the first guitar he ever bought, and it's been through a lot of growing pains with him.

Last month, he performed a solo show a block from Harvard University. It was his fifth show in five nights.

While packing up, a crew member said, "Hey, where's the blue Calton?"

The blue Calton is the case that housed the Martin HD28 guitar.

“I don’t know,” Jamerson said. “I guess I haven’t seen it today.”

They called the previous night’s venue.

He called the last short-term rental.

He last remembered seeing it while loading the van in New York, but with a crew of six, more hands were moving equipment in and out of venues and hotel rooms than just his.

"I don’t have anything on the guitar that said it was mine," Jamerson told The Courier Journal.

He couldn't find any pictures of it or the case, so he couldn't make a post on social media and ask for help. He felt kind of helpless, but he had this feeling he can't explain.

If it’s going to come back to me, it’s going to come back to me, he thought.

Three weeks later, he opened his Instagram.

There was a message: Did you lose a guitar?

Jeff Collins knew the guitar case held something special the second he saw the handle had been replaced with a tattered bandana.

In the last 14 years working at a Rhode Island pawn shop, he’s had probably 5,000 guitars handed to him across the counter.

Something about this blue guitar case, covered in worn stickers, made him do something he's never done: Buy a guitar with the intent of finding its actual owner.

"I knew what it was worth," Collins said. "I would have given him whatever he wanted for it just to not walk away with it because then it would have just disappeared."

He opened the case. Tucked into the gray felt case was a Polaroid of a young man, a middle-aged woman and a newborn baby.

That picture is what made him go in search of its owner, but how to find him?

Stickers of places and bands haphazardly covered the case. Collins is not sure what drew him first to the one with Appalachian hills and "Nicholas Jamerson". He just had a feeling. He pulled up Instagram and typed in the name.

"It was a dead giveaway as soon as I started listening to his music through his Instagram," Collins said.

He sent Jamerson a message.

Since he dropped the guitar off at FedEx ― with a couple of extra stickers he added to the case ― Collins has listened to Jamerson on Sundy Best's "Bad Imagination" nonstop.

I’m letting my bad imagination get the best of me

Lost in a daydream

Collins' daughter, Iverson, died from muscular dystrophy five years ago. He took care of her and her twin sister as a single father.

"It just hit me in the feels listening to that song," he said. "She made it 15 years and was only supposed to make it a couple."

He doesn't know much about Jamerson other than he hopes he tours the Northeast again so he can see him perform live. He sent the guitar back with one hope.

"Honestly," he said. "I hope he tells a story one day with it."

Collins tracked its entire journey to Floyd County, Kentucky.

On Monday, the wind chimes tinkled as Maven, Jamerson's 3-year-old daughter, ran up for a kiss while Jamerson spoke on the phone with a Courier Journal reporter.

She is the newborn in that Polaroid with Jamerson and his mother.

He's been falling asleep with her early these days, then waking up in the middle of the night to write while she sleeps.

He started picking up that old Martin.

Unlike his other guitars, the Martin wants to be played lightly, not strummed hard, like he's used to on stage. It's lending itself to a more relaxed state of playing. He's learning to love it.

"It came back to me, so maybe I need to spend more time with it," he said.

Maybe this guitar really does have stories to tell.

Maybe they'll be hits.

Maybe they'll be ones that help a pawn shop employee heal.
