Itinerary

Departing from Noosa the trip goes across the Noosa river by ferry and immediately onto the North Shore Beach. 65 kms of beach takes us to the coloured sands of Rainbow beach and the shipwreck of the Cherry Venture. These sites are not available on any other tour of this kind. 

From the township of Rainbow beach, where the final supplies are acquired the trip moves further along the beach to Inskip Point to board the barge for Fraser. The crossing will take 15 mins and once on Fraser will proceed to Dilli Village,being the base camp for the next 2 nights. Lunch is then taken in camp followed by a visit to one of the fresh water lakes. 

Over the three days you will expect to visit a few lakes including lake Wabby (green lake), Birrabeen (the blue lake) and Boomanjin (red lake). Visit the Maheno ship wreck and swim the waters of Eli Creek. Walk in the rainforests of Central Station and indulge in many other features of Fraser Island. 

Plenty of time is provided to relax and enjoy the pleasures. Lunch is taken on day 2 by the lakeside and dinners under the stars by the camp fire at Dilli Village. Breakfasts each day are continental. The itinerary will also take in Indian Head when accessible along the 75 mile beach. The trip will arrive back in Noosa at 4.30pm on the third day. You will be returned to your place of pickup from the first day.
