SEE FRASER ISLAND
Fraser Island is one of the great MUST SEE destinations in Australia. The "World's Largest Sand Island" is a unique paradise of golden beaches, rolling surf, crystal clear lakes, and ancient old growth Rainforests. For many visitors, this is the highlight of their Australian experience. The lakes and Rainforests on Fraser Island are very unique in the world, and we get to see the very best of these magnificent attractions. On our 2-Day tour of discovery, we will take in Lake Birrabeen, a crystal clear perched lake that dreams are made of. You will discover the incredible beauty of the Fraser Island Rainforests with its huge trees and Rainforest vines. We will also see the "Invisible Creek," with water so clear, it can be invisible to the naked eye. Fraser Island also boasts to having the purest breed of Dingo in the world, which are found all over the Island. Whales and Dolphins are seen swimming all along the beaches of Fraser Island, and with the best sightings seen from the amazing INDIAN HEAD, Sunset Safaris gives you the PERFECT opportunity to experience nature at it's best. Eurong Beach Resort is right on the beach, with your hotel suite within seconds of the surf beach and restaurant. We visit more places, because we have more permits to visit more areas.
