Overview

K'gari's problem is arithmetic: more stops than any single day can hold. Three days solves it. This 4WD eco tour gives the island room to breathe, swims that don't end at a guide's whistle, and golden hours at places day-trippers only see at noon.

The roll call is complete: Lake McKenzie's blinding white sand, the rainforest at Central Station, a float down Eli Creek, the Maheno shipwreck, the climb over the sandblow to Lake Wabby, Indian Head's lookout, where sharks, rays and whales patrol the water below in season, and the fizzing Champagne Pools. Your experienced eco guide drives, narrates and handles the logistics; you handle the swimming.

Camping is the classic way to do it (an upgrade to the award-winning Kingfisher Bay Resort exists for the tent-averse), and most meals are covered, just sort your own lunch on days two and three. Up to 20 travellers, World Heritage wilderness, zero rush.

Early start from Brisbane, heading north through the Sunshine Coast, the Glasshouse Mountains and Noosa. Tides permitting, you 4WD along the Noosa North Shore and Double Island Point, with the coloured sands of Rainbow Beach on one side and K'gari on the other. Stop for an early lunch at Rainbow Beach, then 4WD along the tracks to Inskip Point and board the ferry across to the island, watching for dolphins, turtles and dugong.

"The best experience in Australia so far, every day was amazing. The whole island is absolutely beautiful and packed with wildlife, a specific highlight being Waddy Point where we sighted whales, sharks, stingrays and turtles from the cliffs."
