For ranger groups
Renting your own 4WD gives you total freedom to explore K’gari at your pace. Drive along Seventy-Five Mile Beach, swim in Lake McKenzie, visit Eli Creek, and camp under the stars.
We only recommend this option for experienced drivers or ranger groups. Getting stuck is a real risk, and recovery can cost up to $1,000, so please proceed with caution.
