Amazing experiences, would highly recommend

Fraser: had an incredible time on Fraser, driving the cars was a real highlight and our guide, Nigel, was very experienced and knowledgable about the area. We visited some amazing places, the accommodation was great and the food was fantastic. There was a lovely relaxed atmosphere and would definitely go back again! Whitsundays: spent an amazing few days exploring the reef and snorkelling in secluded bays and visiting Whitehaven Beach. Kev and the crew took great care of us and always made sure we were safe whilst having a good time. If you’re looking for a luxury, upmarket tour this is not the one for you, instead it offers a wonderful authentic experience with true Aussie humour. Again would go back in a heartbeat!

Hi Charlotte and Ella, We are so pleased you both had a fantastic time on your 2-day tag-along tour. Driving on Fraser Island certainly adds to the experience! We're happy to hear your guide Nigel passed on his knowledge on the island and added to the experience you had. Thank you for your review on our accommodation and food too! We wish you all the best and hope one you will be back (maybe for a 4WD hire?) :) Kind Regards, Fraser Dingo Team

Hey Ruth, So glad to hear that you had a fun trip on Fraser Island with us! Regards, The Fraser Dingo Team

If you want to be clean and comfortable skip this. If you want a fun authentic sailing experience this is for you! The crew is great. The sailing and snorkelling amazing. Watching the sun go down and the moon come up over the water and falling asleep on the rolling boat was something we are so glad we got to experience.

Nice trip

The withsunday tour was great. Lovly, real people who wanted to show us the best parts of the islands. Kev and the crow were great and it was probably the best i have done in australia so far. I was a little bit disappointed by the first day of tour on fraser island. The nature and the weather were great. But the tour wasn't worth the money, even of the fact that we saw some dingos and wales and a lot of nice creeks and lakes on the second day.

Hi Signe, Thank you for your review. It's great you got to see some dingos and whales, the whales have just arrived here so great timing! The creeks and lakes on Fraser are really something special. We pride ourselves on a quality product with excellent value for money, so we value your feedback and would love to hear more from you, keep an eye out for the post trip review email and we look forward to your reply! All the best from the Team at Fraser Dingo :)

Amazing tour

The tour was absolutely amazing. Even though I couldn’t drive the 4WD because of my age, sitting in the back while driving over beaches and sand streets was an insane experience. Highly recommend a Tag-a-long tour. Nigel our guide was very experienced and led us well trough the two days.
