Had a blast on this 3 day tour with our wonderful tour guide Geoff! Started off solo but accompanied by a lovely group we experienced a lot of wonderful things this island has to offer! Since there is no strict pre-set plan the guides work with you and (weather) conditions to optimalize the tour. A summary - Swimming in creeks/lakes, beach drives, spotting dingo’s, starry night drinks at the beach and getting some 4x4 experience ! Special thanks to Geoff who was not only our guide but also great company to all. Working together he definitely made the best he could out of this trip and he did very well on that! Cheers!304mar_amercedesr

We had heaps of fun but felt safe all the time and got to see a lot of Fraser’ secret. Would definitely recommend it! Freedom, the hostel, is alright for the previous night.

We want to thank you all the magnificent team, especially the guide Benny (hey mate!), he is a legend, he took us everywhere explaining every detail of the island without losing his smile. His kind personality and enthusiasm for the island makes you to enjoy this beautiful place more! Thanks Benny, you are f***ing amazing mate! I recommend 100% the tour. There was an unbeatable management: all the excursions, food, the campground (Mazza) and above all the atmosphere that you breathe is simply perfect.

If you are looking for an adventure this is the right tour! Me and my friend had so much fun! The tag along style really makes you feel like you are part of the tour and driving on the beach is so much fun! Lake Mc Kenzie is the most beautiful lake I have been to and the guide organised it well so our group had the space to our self. The atmosphere was great with only good people on the tour. The tour was well organised with enough time on every spot to fully take it in and enjoy. Lots of laughs in such unique surrounding. Dingos is a must on every East Coast tour!chloeabee

Definitely recommend Dingo’s! Had an awesome trip - best way to see Fraser Island. The group size was relatively small, the cars were comfortable and camp site was great! I travelled with my partner and was a great way to see the island and meet other people. The guides are hilarious! Heaps of fun.
