K’gari Tours

Explore magnificent World Heritage listed K'gari

explore the Western Side of K'gari

K'gari (formerly Fraser Island) is situated just off the Queensland coast opposite Hervey Bay. As the world's largest sand island, it boasts an unparalleled and diverse ecosystem. There is so much for you to discover on this beautiful island.

Long stretches of uninterrupted white sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, over 100 freshwater lakes, pristine rainforest, coloured sand cliffs and ancient sand dunes, create the stunning natural beauty of K'gari.

Explore The Western Side of K'gari

Most tours to K'gari include a ferry trip across to the island, followed by a 4WD tour, but at Tasman Venture we like to do things a little differently. Our full-day tour leaves from Hervey Bay and takes you across to K'gari on our Catamaran. We also leave the crowds behind and explore the Western side of K'gari.

What does the 'Western side' of K'gari mean? Most tours over to K'gari will explore the Eastern side of the island, as this is where the ferry docks. In fact, it would take you 6-7 hours to drive to the Western Side of the island if you caught the ferry. So when we say we leave the crowds behind, we mean it. We have three epic stops on our tour:

Discover the abundant native Australian wildlife on K'gari

The Island is home to 230 species of birds, Australia’s purest dingos and many other species.

The largest creek on the island is Wathumba Creek. With clear turquoise water, turtles and stunning white beaches it is a great place to sit & swim.

Awinya Creek, roughly halfway between Moon Point and Wathumba Creek, has clear fresh water that you will kayak along and discover the diverse wildlife including birds and fish. Bowarrady Creek is approximately 14.5km in length and offers amazing sweeping views of K'gari as you hike over ancient sand dunes.

The Great Sandy Straits separates mainland from K'gari. Rare or endangered species such as dugong, turtles, dolphins, curlews and migrating birds can be found along the way as you enjoy your cruise on the Remote K'gari Tour.

The up close whale experience was beyond our imagination. The whales themselves stole the show but staff on the boat were not far behind.

Had a fabulous day, the crew were informative and a lot of fun. The food was delicious and plentiful, also catering for dietary requirements. There were plenty of activities, my favourites were the kayaking and snorkeling, although I enjoyed all of them!

This tour exceeded expectations and we cannot recommend it more highly. The range of activities was excellent, it was great value and the perfect way to see some beautiful, quieter aspects of K'gari.

Ten outta ten experience! For kids, the remote island adventure is action packed with water activities, beautiful scenery and adventure the whole way through. Morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea were delicious and kept our bellies full all day. The locations are undoubtedly stunning, however, the crew on board went above and beyond to ensure every passenger had the best possible experience every single moment of the day.

Absolutely awesome day. My daughter and I had the best day. Could not possibly fit any more into this adventure. Highly recommend!

A fabulous day that exceeded expectations - a must do for day trip to get a taste of K'gari. The staff were very attentive and it was all super well organised. A great itinerary with a mix of activities. One of the best day trips I've done and I'll be back to do the whales!
