We have just returned from a 2 day - 1 night trip to Fraser Island. We arrived on Fraser Island expectant and excited as we had only read good reviews about the trip. Unfortunately, this was not fulfilled to any degree. Firstly, we spent half of the first day in transportation, with minimal time at Lake McKenzie. When we arrived at the camp, we were surprised. We had to sleep in a tent with no ground sheet or pillow - just a sleeping bag, which is not acceptable when you pay 500 aud for the trip. Secondly, the voucher said that food was included in the price, which we assumed was made for you. However, we also had to do this ourselves. We had bad wraps for dinner - and for the evening meal we had to cook our own steaks. Breakfast the next day was also on our own. In addition, there was always uncertainty among everyone about what to do next, as our guide never really informed us about anything. Even when we asked when we had to get up, he had no answer. Furthermore, the 4WD cars you drove in were completely packed, as you had to be 8 people in each car. Not very comfortable when you spend so many hours in the car for transportation. This leads to our question: what is our paid 500 aud being used for? We didn't get any service or acceptable sleeping conditions. Several of the guests we spoke to on the trip also expressed their dissatisfaction and couldn't understand how the trip could be so expensive with such scandalous conditions. We would never recommend this trip to anyone else and we are also passing this information on to our travel agent so that she no longer recommends it. We hope you take this criticism seriously and will improve the conditions and service for your future guests.

Tour is overpriced in my opinion. It is good fun and the island is beautiful but for spending this amount of money you would expect much better. You have to prepare you own meals (there is barely enough food), sleep on the ground (no mattress or pillow provided), make sure you get your driving time (changing of drivers is not arranged by the supervisors), in the morning they showed up 30min late. On top of that we already returned to Rainbow Beach before 2pm whereas they advertise between 3:30 and 4:30.

Wow! Great tour. We not only saw the sights, but also experienced the beauty of simply enjoying the moment without any rush, and connecting to so diverse, but like-minded and open people! Special thanks to our amazing tour guide Gas. His good, relaxed vibes and positivity infected the whole group as he showed us the island he clearly appreciates so much himself. Thx mate, we really appreciate it! HIGHLY DEPENDING on weather condition, the TOUR GUIDE and GROUP and temperature- we got totally luckyšŸ€ā˜€ļø

The adventure started with a short briefing about security and basic information about the island and the environment were given. Well prepared and full of high spirits we jumped in the cars and started the bumpy ride to Fraser Island. We had a really good time and met so many beautiful people in all ages from 18 to 40 - itā€˜s been an adventurous big family of 17. The nature on the island is so unique and impressive, our favourite place was Lake McKenzie with its crystal clear water. Our tour guide Beaver was the best ā€žbig brotherā€œ we could have asked for- he was super easy, afforded us an amazing experience and always cared for our wellbeing. The tour is definitely suitable for anyone who is up for exciting car drives along the beach, comfortable camp nights and campfires, beautiful sunsets, yummy food, stunning views, unique nature, amazing people and heaps of FUN. Check it out! Cheers, Hannah & Malina

The tour was fantastic!!! Right from the briefing through to the guide, the driving and organisation of it all. The briefing goes into the safety aspects and aboriginal culture, also how to drive the 4x4 vehicles. You can drive if you are over 21years old, have held your licence (foreign is ok) for 1 year and have it with you. They covered covid really really well! Social distancing and sanitation of hands too. There was sanitiser in all vehicles and every time you got back in the made us do it. We went to champagne pools, drove on 75mile beach and went to maheno shipwreck, Eli creek and lake Mackenzie. All beautiful and around 1hr 30 spent at each place apart from Eli and maheno where we spent 30 mins at each roughly which is all you need for pictures. Camp site k'gari was brilliant- hammocks tents and seats kept dry by a tarp, q camp kitchen outdoor hut with bbq, gas, sinks and tables/benches to eat off. The seats had foam mattresses in them and they gave us brand new sleeping bags as ours was the first tour since covid. We had a camp fire all night long and went to the beach which is a 5 minute walk to see the stars...the most unreal thing I have ever seen in my whole life. It was amazing. There are dingos around so you have to watch out, take a torch and a dingo stick with you in case they come out and towards you. The food was unreal!!! Lunch was make your own sandwiches with chicken and salads all fresh and cut up laid out for you. Dinner was steaks on the bbq with slaw, salads, jacket potatoes and it was amazing!!! Breakfast was bacon egg and cheese now sandwiches with muffins fruit cereal and juice tea and coffee-all laid out again. Easy life. Our tour guide was benny he was great, he is so real and not fake at all. True Aussie bloke and knows his stuff. You felt safe with his knowledge of 4x4 and the animals etc. Tips- no signal on the island sometimes a tiny bit with Telstra, you can play your music in the vehicle o make sure you have it down loaded and it's not online, but booze before you go as the island is expensive, make sure you bring $2 coins for the showers or you won't be able to shower. Overall amazing experience and highly recommend!!

We visited Fraser Island at the beginning of March with my family. We were visiting Australia from Argentina. It was an unforgettable experience that surpassed our expectations by far. Benny, our leader, was legend! And the tour to the beach at night was the most incredible thing I have seen in my life: an awesome starry sky like I've never seen before. Next time I visit Australia, I will not hesitate to take a tour with them.

The tour completely surpassed my expectations, Jacob our tour guide was brilliant, so passionate about the area and made the tour fun! Driving the jeeps were really enjoyable and a good time to get to know your group. The food and accommodation is A+, I would definitely recommend this tour!

Had the most amazing two day glamping tour. The accommodation was excellent and the food was superb. The two days were jam packed with incredible activities (our favourite being lake Mackenzie) and our tour guide Jacob was not only an excellent chef but had a wealth of knowledge of the island and his passion rivaled that of Steve Irwin if you will. The tour was great for people and couples of all ages. Would highly recommend this tour and would certainly do it all over again!

Me and mr partner did the 2 day, 1 night glamping tour with Jacob. It was the BEST 2 days of my life! We floated down Eli Creek, a beautiful fresh water stream, saw the shipwreck on the beach, lots of dingos, Lake McKenzie and so much more. He cooked us such delicious food and was so helpful and extremely knowledgeable. Made everyone laugh all day long - even in the rain! The beds were very comfortable and the showering facilities were decent. He made sure we all got turns to be upfront in his car and also those who wanted to drive got the chance to. He definitely made the trip for me and my partner. We also made some great friends who we will keep in touch with now, thanks for the best trip Jacob aka ā€œDadā€. Love Lauren & Jack #car3rules x PS, take lots of bug repellent we got bitten to death!

Wonderful 2 day glamping on K'Gari! With Jacob as tour guide (to 31 people!), I definitely learned a lot - I enjoyed driving but I switched to the lead car to be able to pick his brain some more about all he knows. So much great food and so many great people. I saw Lake Mackenzie, the sacred birthing place in the rainforest, Eli Creek, four dingos (2 in the group, 2 at night on the beach), bioluminescent algae, millions of stars, champagne pools, and many happy glampers. Dingo's Tours, Jacob was an invaluable part of my experience and I greatly appreciate the care you go to in picking informative and fun guides. I went solo, but most people travelled with friends or with their significant others. Would recommend nonetheless.

We went on the 2 day/1 night glamping trip and it was amazing. Our tour guide, Jacob, had so much knowledge to share and was really good at his job. We knew we were in good hands with him. The food was so good and the glamping experience was so much better than expected. Highly recommendable and we would definetely book this tour again. We had so much fun and laughed so much in the backseat while driving. This has been our best trip in Australia :)

When I booked Fraser Island I didnā€™t really know what to expect or know if I was going to like it. I then had the best 2 days of my whole Australia tour, many thanks to the likes of Jacob my tour guide as he made it fun with his humour and knowledge of the island. The food that Jacob and Lewis cooked in the evening for us was excellent and had a very entertaining evening getting to know everyone on the trip.

Just got back from the 2 day 1 night glamping tour with dingos! Was an amazing experience! Our tour guide Jacob was amazing! Jacob was very funny and made the tour very enjoyable for everyone and really helped make the tour special and memorable! Lewis who was at the campsite was also super sound and helped with the food which was really nice! The tour was fun a very full on two days but we got to see everything we wanted to see in a fun and safe manor! Would recommend it to anyone who wanted to visit Fraser Island as it was a great trip!

We had a unforgettable tour of Frazer Island where the people in our car took it in turns to drive, which is a great experience in itself, and then thereā€™s the incredible views of the island itself. On day 1 we went to lake Mackenzie for the afternoon, after stopping for a great lunch (a vast spread of build your own sandwich, veggie and meat options) and drove through the jungle to camp. We were pleasantly surprised by the camp sight and even more so by dinner. We had rump steaks, baked potatoes and tonnes of salad options followed by smores on the barbie!!!! There were many breakfast options too including fruit, yogurt, cereal, toasted breakfast sandwiches and cake!! Day 2 consisted of Ely Creek and the shipwreck and we even had time to take a short flight over the island! (Extra cost but worth it! Takes off from the beach). Day 2 lunch was also great being a wrap version of the day before!! Very satisfying. The highlight has to be our guide Jacob, he was so so friendly and fun and was a fountain of knowledge about the island, as well as an expert 4x4 driver in challenging deep sand! I highly recommend for any traveller or holiday maker under the age of 30.
