Excellent Tour Operator

We had a wonderful time with Discovery K'gari - they are an amazing tour operator. Our one day tour was filled with beauty: Lake McKenzie, Elli Creek, a Rainforest walk and the Maheno Shipwreck. Swimming in crystal clear water and floating down Elli Creek were my personal highlights :) The staff from Discovery K'gari was super nice, informative, experienced and good at driving on sand haha All in all, we had a beautiful time :)
