Fraser Island Backpacker Tours

Tour Booking is also provided at our reception. Fraser Island tours are available for 1 - 3 days and you can do a guided tour or self drive tour. We can also book bus tickets, local activities, your next accommodation and anything else we can help guests out with.

Guided Tours (1 - 3 Days)
These are done through local companies who provide a guide who also drives the four wheel drive bus and these tours include accommodation in the resorts on the island.

Self Drive Tours (3 Days)
These tours are done in a 4WD hired from us where you have 9 people in a vehicle and you are camping on the island.

We also provide local activities which include whale watching, fishing charters, scooters, skydiving, horse riding, helicopter/plane scenic flights, etc.

We can also help out with bus and hostel bookings.

Self Drive Tours

We have our own fleet of Toyota Land Cruisers which are hired out to groups traveling to Fraser Island. We provide a comprehensive briefing before they depart which consists of vehicle safety, camping awareness, 3 day itinerary and 4WD tips.

Courtesy Bus (5.30am - 9pm)

We provide a pickup and drop off service for those staying with us from the bus terminal at Centro. Transfer from the Fraser Coast Airport can be organised through the Airport Shuttle Bus service which meets all incoming and departing flights 7 days of the week.

Restaurant (Open 6pm - 9pm)

Our restaurant is open every night of the week and is open to the public. We also have a communal kitchen with shared cooking facilities available for those staying with us.

Bar (Open 10am - Midnight)

We have a full bar license with a good range of Australian beers as well as a large range of Cocktails available. As we are licensed premises no personal alcohol is allowed on the premises.

Cleaning

This is one of the most important aspects of running a backpackers hostel. The facilities must be kept to a very high standard of cleanliness which is commented on by guests staying here in our comments book and on websites. These websites are often where people book so the better the rating the more guests will book with you.

4WD Centre

We have our own fleet of vehicles which are well maintained by our mechanics. Each time a vehicle returns from the island the vehicles are fully serviced. This allows us to offer top of the range vehicles in very good condition along with the latest in camping gear.

Staff

Our staff are able to provide you with the necessary information to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible by providing you with accurate and unbiased information. Fraser Roving is an "Independent Hostel" which does not have the luxury of a chain of hostels therefore it is important that our staff go that extra mile to make our guests feel that we have looked after them. After all, there is no better way of promotion then word itself.
