The Best of K'gari - If you would like a comprehensive visit to this UNESCO World Heritage site, this is a MUST tour. We were TOTALLY impressed by the amount of ground we covered while seeing so much of K'gari. Moreover, among other things, we saw numerous dingoes, experienced a unique rain forest, got to swim in a fresh water lake, and saw a historical ship wreck. Meanwhile, others on the tour also tubed down a freshwater creek and took an airplane flight of the island, taking-off/landing right off the beach. This was definitely a first-class tour complete with expert commentary.

Amazing day trip at K’gari with Discovery K’gari Adventures - We had one of our most memorable days in Queensland today with Discovery K'Gari. Our guide, Paul, drove us deftly along the sprawling seashore of K'gari to show us Maheno Shipwreck, Eli Creek, Lake McKenzie, Central Station, and Wanggoolba Creek. We were given sufficient time to explore these precincts at our own pace. Paul filled us in cheerfully with the historical/ geological details of each place and familiarized us with the island's flora fauna. With his eager help we spotted dingoes, a python, and even a few playful dolphins right before boarding thr barge to Inskip. Our snacks and lunch were precisely taken care of with the dietary requirements we provided earlier. The drive on sand was rough but Paul's expertise and care definitely made it much smoother for us. Overall, we've been delighted with this day-trip and would recommend anybody to explore K'gari with Discovery K'gari.

1 day tour with Paul - Paul was knowledgable and knew what he was talking about. The trip did involve a lot of driving but Paul made sure that we were fed and had plenty of toilet stops. Paul overall was very friendly and easy to talk too and made the trip enjoyable. The only downside was felt a bit rushed but this was due to having to go to go a different route on the island due to high tide so no fault of the tour.

Beautiful place with stunning things to see. - We had a lovely day. Weather was outstanding. Our guide, Paul, was fun and knowledgeable. They took excellent care with my celiac request for a special diet. The tides were unusually high, which meant our schedule had to be adjusted. As much as we loved the two major excursions (Lake McKenzie and Eli Creek) it felt like more driving than anything else. This isn’t anyone’s fault. It’s a big place. But day trippers should be aware that there is a lot of driving. And bring your own tubes to Eli Creek if you want to tube it rather than just walk down the creek.

Disappointed and over priced for what was provided. - Tour operator arrived 35 minutes late without a reasonable explanation. One of the two major activities had very minimal time allocation and they didn’t provide the equipment required for the experience - no floaties for Eli Creek. Food was extremely basic.
