OVERVIEW

Solos Only

Fraser Island Solo Travel group. 

Explore the world’s largest sand island!  Experience unique adventures – authentically Australian, all in the company of other solo travellers.

Fraser Island is a World Heritage-listed Island, the largest sand island in the world stretching over 123 kilometres in length and 22 kilometres at its widest point.  It is at the start of the Great Barrier Reef, and is a rare and beautiful holiday destination.  Fraser Island offers untamed wilderness and rugged, natural charm.

Visit some of the top highlights of Fraser Island while enjoying your four star resort stay. Discover the crystal-clear freshwater Lake McKenzie, endless golden beaches and the coloured sands of The Pinnacles. After exploring by land, there’s a half day out on the custom built Sea Explorer, cruising along the western coast of Fraser Island.

In the evenings; enjoy the island sunset, kick back with a drink and mingle with your cohort of island revellers seeking the best from this incredible sand isle visit.

This is an unforgettable escape blended with the perfect balance of group excursions and chill time.

REVIEWS

'I would highly recommend a holiday with Encounter Travel. My trip was well organised and the co-ordinator was fun and helpful and full of energy. I met some great people of all walks of life. There is a good mix of organised activities and free time. I had a blast.'

 Linda, Victoria

'Thank you for your organisation of a great holiday. As a first time traveller with Encounter, I didn't know what to expect. The Red Centre is indescribably beautiful and should be on every Australians' bucket list. We saw every sensational attraction in just the right order - each new experience was more incredible than the last. Thank you for recruiting such a great group of people for my travelling companions. The hotels were clean and very comfortable and it was a pleasure to be transported across such an amazing landscape so comfortably. I learnt so much about our wonderful country and wished I had done such a trip years earlier.'
