Day 3

Central Station, Pile Valley & Lake McKenzie

   Walking Distance 9.5km 

• Have a refreshing morning swim in the lake before setting off on your last day of hiking. Walk from Lake Garawongera to Happy Valley, on the Eastern beach, where you will meet your guide.
• You will then be driven down the famous 75 Mile Beach, through Eurong to Central Station, where you will stop to enjoy your lunch. After lunch, hike through Pile Valley, where your guide will transfer you to another meeting point along the track, and from there, you will walk into Lake McKenzie to the secret hikers' beach.
• Here, you can relax on the beautiful white-sanded beach and swim in the pristine freshwater perched lake. Your guide will then pick you up and drive you back to Kingfisher Resort, where you can relax at sunset over a drink before heading back to Hervey Bay.



Day 1

Badjala Sandblow & Valley of the Giants

   Walking Distance 18.5km 

• Kickstart your day with a private 4WD transfer, accompanied by your support guide, on the barge and over to K’gari to begin the hike. Prior to your departure, you have the option to leave your overnight bags with our support guide, who will ensure they reach the first night's camp later in the day. This convenience lets you travel with day packs containing necessities such as water, snacks, and rain jackets.
• You begin your hike at M10, a meeting point along the K’gari Great Walk Track. The hike takes you through magnificent rainforest, and lust tropical landscapes to the Valley of the Giants.
• Along the way you will be able to undertake two side walks. The first will take you to the Badjala Sandblow, where you can admire endless landscapes and the second is the Giant Satinay tree walk, where you will be able to explore one of the oldest living trees on the island.

  Dinner options include fish teriyaki stir-fry or chicken pesto/tomato pasta. Dietary options available, menu subject to change.

Lake Garawongera & Petrie’s Camp

• Wake up in the lush rainforest, among the tallest trees on K’gari, as you start your morning with a fresh breakfast. Embark on a short 2.6km walk to see the Tallowood tree, one of the biggest and oldest trees on the island.
• Afterward, set off on your walk to the stunning, tea-tree-infused Lake Garawongera. Along the way, there is an optional historical site, 1km, that leads to Petrie’s Camp, which we recommend visiting.
