Dingos K'gari Adventures · Rainbow Beach
The short version of the Dingos convoy: one night in the fenced beach camp, Eli Creek and the Maheno on day one, rainforest and Lake McKenzie on day two. Pick it if you want the beach-driving experience in a weekend and can live without Champagne Pools and Lake Wabby.
Same operator, same camp and same convoy idea as the 3-day tag-along, in half the time. The 2-day trip departs on Saturdays with a compulsory safety briefing at 7 am at Freedom Hostel in Rainbow Beach. After the briefing you head to the Inskip barge and take turns driving the beach.
Day one runs up 75 Mile Beach to the Maheno (30 minutes) and Eli Creek (an hour), then camp: one night in a twin-share tent at the dingo-proof beach site, with flushing toilets, showers and a barbecue dinner. Day two goes south to Eurong and inland to Central Station and Pile Valley (an hour), then Lake McKenzie for an hour before the drive back to the barge. Groups are smaller than on the 3-day trip: the listing caps it at 23.
What you give up is Champagne Pools and Lake Wabby, which only the 3-day trip reaches. The other terms match: ages 18 to 35, cancellation 6 days before, and damage liability reduction at AUD 25 to 50 extra. Direct, Dingos lists it from AUD 589.
Compulsory briefing at Freedom Hostel, 18 Spectrum St, Rainbow Beach.
Across from Inskip Point, then north on 75 Mile Beach.
Photos at the wreck and a float down the creek.
Barbecue dinner and the campfire in the dingo-proof camp.
Rainforest at Pile Valley for an hour, an hour at the lake, then the barge back.
★★★★★We had an amazing time on the tour of K'Gari with the best tour guide Mick! Our group of 8 thoroughly enjoyed the experience! We had such good fun floating down the lazy river of Eli Creek and Lake Mackenzie was our highlight! As a group we had a bbq for dinner, a few drinks and sat around the campfire chatting and singing!
★★★★★Great experience, beautiful nature, nice group, evening barbecues and marshmallows by the campfire.We felt very comfortable
