Fire Wood ($15 per bag) can be purchased at the Safety Briefing from Freedom Hostel.

Optional Vehicle Damage Liability Reductions ($25 - $50 per person).

Tag-along style tours allow you to get in the driver's seat for part of the tour! Trips are led by an experienced lead driver who will drive a lead car for the entirety of the journey, with up to 4 vehicles following under their supervision and guidance, which are driven by eligible passengers.

Throughout the tour, your lead driver will teach guests how to safely navigate the island's tracks and roads through both demonstration and advice over a 2-way radio. This style tour styles you to take on the challenge of a 4WD adventure with the help and support of an experienced trip leader and 4WDer.

Guest drivers must meet strict eligibility criteria (21+ years of age and with a full manual driver's license for at least one year), and all guests must attend a comprehensive island and safety briefing before departure.

Yes, the safety briefing is required to take part in your Fraser Island tour and is non-negotiable. It covers important information on what to expect on the island, including safety and potential emergency situations. This is held at 7am the day of the tour at Freedom Rainbow Beach.

There is free luggage storage available in Rainbow Beach for customers, which will be explained to you at your safety briefing. However, if you have valuable items you wish to leave behind, the Operator recommends arranging a locker at Freedom Hostel which will require a small padlock.

The cars are automatic.

Yes, the tour involves camping in a National Park and thus may not suit everyone. The Operator asks guests to consider the style of accommodation provided on each tour before booking to ensure it matches their needs.

Accommodation is (basic) camping in dome-style tents (sleeps 2 per tent).

You will not. The Operator wants you to focus on enjoying the island, so the campsites are permanent and have been set up for you beforehand. 

Yes. It is important to note though the campsites are run by solar and generator, meaning there are limited charging points available. The cars also contain a charging cable for phones, which can be shared around your group throughout the tour.

The Operator recommends pre-charging all your devices before the tour and bringing a charged power bank for your phone/iPod if you have one. You can also save power on some of your devices by switching to flight mode before leaving Rainbow Beach.

The camp contains a kitchen/BBQ area, a common area, hot showers (require a $2 coin), and flushing toilets.

The ocean surrounding K'gari (Fraser Island) can be dangerous and is home to strong riptides as well as sharks and stingrays.  It is never safe to swim in the ocean on K'gari (Fraser Island), but the Operator provides plenty of swimming opportunities in the lakes and creeks.

Although The Operator covers this in the safety briefing, the dingoes really are wild, and like most wild animals, they are best observed from a distance and are not to be interacted with. It's recommended all guests familiarise themselves with how to be dingo safe, as advised by QLD Parks and Wildlife.

Yes! Most dietary requirements can be catered for - vegan, gluten-free, wheat or nut allergies, lactose intolerant; the Operator has you covered! However, if you have complex dietary needs, it is best to speak with the reservations team to discuss options. It's important that dietary information is provided at the time of booking, or at least 48 hours before departure time, so they can arrange adequate catering for your tour.

This is one of the only K'gari (Fraser Island) campsites that can have a fire at night - the perfect way to settle into your island experience!
