...to the beginnings beyond the ice ages - originating on the tablelands of Northern New South Wales millions of years ago. Nature and her mysterious ways - let your guide unlock a few of the secrets.
Eco-Tourism
Fraser Island is in danger of being loved to death.
As an eco-tourism operator we play an important role in fostering an awareness in the need to preserve its natural beauty
and fragile eco-systems. Regular stops are at picturesque beauty spots. Our commitment of "no compromise for quality" produces a memorable and enjoyable wilderness experience to one of nature's most beautiful and intriguing treasures.
