Description
Footprints on Fraser offer guided, fully supported walking tours of World Heritage Fraser Island. The Great Walk, a new concept in tourism developed by the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service, is a unique walking experience covering almost 90 kilometres of walking trails. Footprints on Fraser offer four day and five day walking tours which, in total, traverse 80 per cent of the Great Walk.
Their walks visit some of the most beautiful and admired sites on the island such as Central Station and Lake McKenzie as well as some of the most remote and fascinating such as the Valley of the Giants. Footprints on Fraser pride themselves in inviting you to join them to walk where the four wheel drive vehicles don't go.
Commencing 2009 they are offering accommodated tours as well as their popular camping tours. Guests will return each night to their accommodation on the east coast beach via their support vehicle. Walking distances on the five-day accommodated tours are a little shorter than those on the camping tours.
