Picture yourself - travelling in a four-wheel drive bus along Fraser Island's beaches or rainforest tracks, swimming in a crystal clear lake with a white sandy bottom, watching dolphins frolicking in the waves along the beach, and freshwater creeks flowing from sand dunes; or stepping off a beautiful coral cay island into turquoise water, snorkelling through mazes of brightly coloured coral or fishing on the reef, and picturing big sea turtles swimming slowly by as you laze in the beautiful warm water of a coral lagoon.

They have a fleet of seven four wheel drive vehicles ranging from a brand new big bus, which holds 36 passengers, to a small but comfortable forward facing troop carrier. Australian Sunset Safaris can now cater for 120 pax at a time. Their award-nominated tour guides are tour professionals, with an intimate knowledge of Fraser Island and the Great Barrier Reef. All Sunset Safaris tour guides are required to have a PHD in Fun-ology, so when you party, they party with you!
