Quick Links
We had never been to this side of the island before and found it absolutely magnificent. Remote deserted beaches... I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see a unique, and definitely remote and beautiful side of Fraser Island.
Book a Whale Watching tour or package
We’ve had the experience of our lives! Most amazing whale encounters ever. We were so lucky we got to see so many curious whales so close to the boat you could nearly touch them.
