Ride shotgun through the world's largest sand island in a purpose-built 4WD, ticking off Lake McKenzie, Eli Creek, Central Station rainforest and the Maheno Shipwreck in a single extraordinary day.
What to expect
Your morning begins with a 4WD convoy crossing onto the island, then a float down the crystal-clear freshwater current of Eli Creek. A lush walk through the ancient rainforest at Central Station follows, where 1,000-year-old satinay trees soar overhead. You'll stop for a gourmet buffet lunch before the afternoon delivers the jewel: Lake McKenzie's impossibly blue perched lake, ringed by white silica sand. The day closes with a dramatic pass by the rusted hull of the Maheno Shipwreck at golden hour.
