EXPERIENCE HIKING DIFFERENTLY!
Your pack-free camping hike experience is a self-guided hiking experience with a twist of comfort! It lets you enjoy the thrills of camping and hiking, with a bit of pampering! These hikes include a 4WD transfer to the trail head and a 4wd pick up at the end locations of the hike. They also ensure hikers only carry a small day pack whilst hiking. The Hiking team will drop off all equipment (other belongings, tent, food, etc.) and set up your camp ahead of you, making for a relaxing, easy hiking experience. Glamping hikes are a great way to enjoy the pristine beauty of Fraser Island without having to carry a heavy pack all day!
Don’t have a lot of time!? Or just want to do a short hike, well this is for you! The Lake McKenzie Circuit 2 day hike allows you to see the best sights in just two days. Explore the world famous Lake McKenzie, Lake Wabby and lush tropical rainforests!
