Guided Tours

• Drive along the sand tracks to Central Station, a former forestry camp, with its own interpretive centre. Your guide will talk about the rainforest and the exotic rare King Ferns - a species that dates back to Jurassic times.

• Walk the banks of Wanggoolba Creek, and learn about the flora and fauna that inhabit this tranquil ecosystem.

• Visit Lake McKenzie, K'gari’s most beautiful freshwater perched dune lake. Take a swim in the crystal-clear waters or just chill out on its white sandy shores. Your guide will include a talk about the formation of perched lakes and the significance to the ecosystem on this remarkable island.

As above, including:

• Drive up the famous 75-Mile Beach to see the coloured iron oxide sands of The Pinnacles and the wreck of the Maheno cruise ship. Your guide will provide some interesting facts about her life as well as the history of other shipwrecks around K'gari. Study the effects of rusting, the creation of an artificial reef and the creatures that have now taken over the wreck.

• Stop for a swim in Eli Creek, wade through the cool, fresh water or enjoy the surrounds from the boardwalk. Your guide will talk about the underground aquifer, its source and the volume of fresh water that flows into the ocean each day.

• Visit Pile Valley, via the inland forestry tracks, where K'gari’s famous Satinay trees grow in sand. Satinay trees are resistant to marine borer and were used to line the banks of the Suez Canal and to rebuild London docks after World War II.

• Tour to Basin Lake nestled high in the dunes and learn about this black water perched lake.

• Drive along the sand tracks to Central Station, a former forestry centre and the historical heart of K'gari. Your guide will talk about rainforest, flora and fauna and the logging history of the island.

• Walk the banks of Wanggoolba Creek, and learn about the flora and fauna that inhabit this ecosystem.

• The rainforests on K'gari grow on sand dunes at the world's highest elevation of more than 200m.
