How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
“Amazing day out with Fraser Island Adventure Tours”
An incredible full day on the nature tour, with a great taste of all the island's main sights. We swam in stunning Eli Creek and saw dingoes, sea eagles and even a sea snake. Jason had amazing scientific and local Indigenous knowledge, and the bus, door-to-door transfers and food were all great.
“Amazing day thanks David !”
An amazing day on the nature tour with David, so enthusiastic about the island, who made extra stops to share stories about its history, trees and animals. Sitting up front, we saw how tricky it is to drive a truck on sand racing the tide, and we'd have done far less in a hire 4WD.
“K’gari Nature Tour”
A fantastic full day on the Nature Tour from Noosa. David looked after us all with witty, informative commentary, and we were well fed, with amazing muffins and lunch with drinks by Lake McKenzie. The 4WD bus gets rough over the dunes, but there were plenty of stops to walk, take photos and swim at Lake McKenzie and Eli Creek.
“Kgari Nature tour”
We did the full-day nature tour and had a fantastic time, kept entertained by our guide Jake, who was very knowledgeable and great fun. I'd happily go back for longer.
“Nature Tour”
We were one of the first day trips after the Covid break and so happy with our choice, getting a real feel for the island and for 4WD driving there. Robyn was helpful when booking, and Darryl, who grew up on the island, was an awesome guide. Picked up in Noosa, we saw all the sights, many whales and a dingo, and drove home along Rainbow Beach under a rising full moon.
“Full Day Nature Tour from Noosa”
Three of us did the full-day tour from Noosa, leaving at 6am, and driving the beaches in the big 4WD bus was exciting. A refreshing swim in Lake McKenzie was followed by an excellent BBQ lunch with salads and drinks. Steve was guide, skilled driver and cook, kept the whole bus entertained, and had us back by 6pm, tired but happy.
