Traveler reviews
K’Gari
It was an fantastic experience!! The guide was Taylah and she did a great job. She told us everything about K’Gari and was the nicest guide we’ve met in Australië! She was a good driver and we saw a lot! She did also extra: we swim in a creek and make a fligt. It was the highlight of our holiday!!!
Stunning two day tour with experienced guide
We had a wonderful two day tour with our guide Jean who was generous in his hospitality and sharing his knowledge of K’gari. We never felt rushed and there was always something interesting to learn about. The buses were clean and modern and the food was delicious - better than I’ve experienced on other tours elsewhere in QLD. Spectacular weather made it a truly memorable experience with our teenage children.
You must do it.
A great experience on the world's largest sand island. Arriving by barge you'll be met by your driver and guide. We had John, a very good driver and good commentary. First stop at Lake McKenzie for swimming and morning tea. Then to Central Station for the magnificent stands of trees and a walk along Wanggoolba Creek. Lunch at K'gari Resort then a bush walk to Lake Wabby and back to the resort for a delicious dinner, a restful night and that's day 1. James, the restaurant supervisor, went out of his way for us. Day 2 up to Champagne Pools and morning tea, Indian Head, Red Canyon, The Pinnacles, SS Maheno shipwreck then Eli Creek and lunch. Back to the resort for a cuppa then back to Kingfisher Bay Resort to return to the mainland. The roads are rough but fun. All staff are friendly and helpful. Our group was small which made the experience more personal and John, our driver, was very accommodating. At the time we went, the whales gave us a brilliant show all day. Dingo's, a sea snake, sea eagles, kytes and beautiful rainforest birds. Just do it!
Fun on K'Gari
Taylah was our guide, and we couldn't be happier. She was so competent driving the bus and very knowledgeable about K'Gari. The Illumina light show was a highlight. Would definitely recommend to everyone especially young people, as there was so much yo do and see.
Great for solo travellers
This was a wonderful experience. Well organised, comfortable and clean accommodation and great food. Breakfast, morning tea and lunch provided in the tour cost and dinner prices were standard costs and not excessive considering they are on an island. Our tour guide, Taylah was knowledgeable and pleasant and a great bus driver. The bus was comfortable with an up front screen to watch the road ahead as the seat backs were high and vision was restricted especially for short people such as myself. We had a varied age group of 14 people and everyone got along well. If you want to see K'gar and you can't drive it yourself this tour is a great option and being 2 days we had time at each spot without any rush to move on.
