Are you excited? Are you scared? Are you absolutely certain there is no way anyone will convince you to do it? No matter what you think about driving on Fraser Island, there\u2019s no doubt it\u2019s an essential part of the K\u2019gari experience.[vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”4605″ img_size=”full”]For many visitors, offroad driving on an island where all the roads consist of sand is one of the main reasons to look forward to Fraser Island. Others are apprehensive, yet exhilarated once they\u2019ve negotiated their first island track. Others again are quite happy to take a back seat and let others chauffeur them across the island. There\u2019s no denying it\u2019s an unusual way to get around, but driving on sand in Fraser Island is part of the adventure and partly what makes a trip to K\u2019gari so much fun.[vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″]However, it\u2019s only fun if we all get back in one piece! While it may be fun to get stuck in a bit of soft sand, a rollover on the beach is an entirely different matter. Thanks to our safety precautions and our excellent tour guides, there\u2019s never been a serious accident on any of our tours, but that doesn\u2019t mean we aren\u2019t aware of the possible dangers of driving on Fraser Island. Passing through Rainbow Beach, you can see for yourself what can happen when drivers underestimate the challenges of driving on Fraser Island \u2013 pictures of their wrecked 4WDs line the \u201cwall of shame\u201d at the local petrol station.<\/p>\n
For visitors, especially from overseas, who have no experience driving on sand, a tag along 4WD tour of Fraser Island is the only way to go. You get to drive on Fraser Island yourself, but under the expert supervision of a certified guide who knows all the risks of offroad driving \u2013 and can make sure you don\u2019t take them.<\/p>\n
Drop Bear Adventures get you off to a good start with the Queensland Parks and Wildlife service safety video, which we watch together before heading off to the island on day one. If you want to do even more preparation, you can also find lots of information on safe driving online.[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”4609″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]On the island:<\/p>\n
