This is the ultimate Fraser Island tour for families

Fraser Island tours feature on most Australian family’s bucket lists. But until now, it has been impossible to find a truly adventurous tour specifically tailored to families.

Sure, you could jump on a bus day tour to Fraser Island from Hervey Bay, Rainbow Beach or Noosa and join 20 plus strangers. Or book an overnight stay at the resort on a two-day bus tour. But most of these trips aren’t really designed for families. You may have impatient children who don’t want to wait around for 20-year-olds to finish Instagramming.  

Hana and Mark Robinson operate K’gari Fraser Island Adventures group, a Fraser Island tour company that includes their award-winning tour company Drop Bear Adventures.

The couple has spent the past year designing the perfect Fraser family experience.

And, in our opinion, they’ve nailed it.

The ultimate Family Fraser Island tours

K’gari Fraser Island Adventures’s four Day Ultimate Family Adventure provides the perfect balance between a guided tour and a self-guided adventure holiday. It also has a COVID money-back guarantee and the company is super flexible so you can book with confidence.

“Family holidays are all about having fun, making memories and slowing down enough to really enjoy the quality time together,” Hana said.

“They often fly by and it can feel like you spend more time planning the holiday than actually enjoying them.”

Both Hana and Mark come from big families with relatives spread far and wide across Australia.

“Our family holidays few and far between,” Hana said.

“They are always precious to us, and we are often the planners, so when it came to designing our brand new Family Adventures we designed it with our family in mind.

“We can’t wait to help families take the stress of planning a family trip so that they can just relax and enjoy making memories that will last a lifetime.”

After two days of being guided around the island’s trickiest spots to reach, you will then spend two more whole days taking things at your pace on a self-guided adventure. Enjoy the freedom to spend as long as you like at the best spots on the island for the kids such as Lake McKenzie and Eli Creek.

Hana suggests using this time to visit Central Station, Lake Wabby, Lake Boomanjin and Lake Birrabeen, or to simply relax and revisit the spots you like the best. This is truly a tailored experience, you can decide what is right for you and your family.
