Fraser Explorer Tours was easy and friendly to deal with and even though the day tour from Rainbow Beach appears expensive, it's completely worthwhile to enjoy the unique, largest Sand Island in the world. The tour was really satisfying and enjoyable and Kev, our driver/guide made it entertaining and very interesting.

Much better than expected. Pretty new off-road vehicle, experienced driver/guide, very organized itinerary, on time, and very very beautiful tour! Totally recommend it!
