K'gari On A Budget
Exploring K'gari is a must on any Australian holiday-makers 'to do' list and just because you are travelling on a budget, doesn't mean you have to miss out on anything. All budget-savvy backpackers know the in's and out's of sticking to their monetary limits, but if this type of travelling is all new to you, there are few things you can learn before booking your trip to Fraser.
Day tours
Most day tours around K'gari are guided trips, meaning you will be driven around by your tour guide. These start from around $155pp for a single day. Most tours are run with specialised four-wheel drive, equipped for Fraser's sandy terrain, and all visit the similar hot spots on the island. The price will change depending on the tour company. It is important to note whether tours do pick up/drop off to suit you as well. If you want the full self-drive experience on K'gari than car hire is the choice for you.
