This is a great tour to do if you want to see the gorgeous sights of northern Australia and if you are not afraid of crocodiles… To do this tour you must be at a reasonable fitness level because there are a lot of hikes and some of them are fairly strenuous.

FRASER ISLAND- BEACHES- HERVEY BAY
3DAYS APPROXIMATELY $135

PETROL AND INSURANCE FEE REQUIRED
Fraser Island is another great tour that you won’t want to miss. It’s the one island in Australia that is made completely of sand. You can’t swim in the ocean due to the sharks, but the creeks and lakes on the island are absolutely amazing.
A self-drive tour is the best bet, where you have no tour guide. It’s just you and your group and you divide up the responsibilities amongst yourselves. It’s a great way to get to know each other better. From there you and your group plan your days… where you want to go, what you want to do, who wants to drive, where you want to set camp, what you want to cook for dinner etc. It’s a great trip to go out and have fun and socialize with all the other people on the island. Definitely a tour worth booking!

This is one of the best tours offered if you want to take in the best of the Outback experience. You start the day heading off with your group to your first destination - a camel ranch. Here you have the option to go on a $5 camel ride, which is an experience you shouldn’t miss. Then you continue on to Uluru where you will go on an enjoyable hike and learn all about the different culture that is surrounding you in your new environment. You then head back to your campsite to watch the sunset behind Ayers Rock and enjoy a great barbecue. You will never forget the changing, exquisite colours of the Rock as the sun goes down. When you go to bed in your swags under the stars with nothing between you and the nature surrounding you, you will really experience life in the outback.
Day 2 your group will rise bright and early to see the sunset at Ayers Rock and then you take off for a nice long hike around the massive tourist attraction.
On day 3 the group heads to Kings Canyon. You enjoy a beautiful, challenging hike here and get to cool off with a nice relaxing swim at one of the gorges. Kings Canyon is like a miniature version of the Grand Canyon and is absolutely breathtaking!
