1 day tour of Fraser Island from Rainbow Beach. 4 wheel drive up 70 Mile Beach then into beautiful Lake McKenzie, followed by a walk along the rainforest floor.

What an excellent way to see this amazing island. Jacob our driver/tour guide was excellent. Very knowledgeable, great driver and a genuinely nice guy. Definitely, the best way to experience this beautiful place. So lucky to get to see this with less tourists.
