Amazing!
beckymZ6042TT, October 2026
We had an amazing time on this tour and would definitely recommend! There was a group of 10 of us joining the tour and the rest of the group were lovely, and our guide, Luke, was great! He was really helpful when learning to drive the cars with less confident drivers, and knowledgeable about the island and specific areas we visited. The campsite facilities were great, as was the food, as we didn’t really know what to expect as we weren’t really used to camping. We had a great time and made some amazing memories!

An absolute must!!!

Had the best K’gari trip ever with Pippies - couldn’t recommend more!!!
Our tour guide Cory was an absolute legend and he couldn’t have done more to make it the most incredible experience for the full group 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼 Felt so safe with him - so friendly, knowledgable and a great laugh! Met a great group of people and so so much fun!!!
Visited lots of cool spots but the highlight was definitely Lake Boomanjin which we visited on the last day through Cory’s recommendation, and sooo glad we did! The lake was so peaceful, beautiful views and the tea tree lake is meant to be super good for your skin & hair, which, based on Cory’s, I believe⭐️⭐️⭐️
No complaints at all - the best time❤️

Three days in Paradise with Pippies
Vacation55287052622, September 2026
We had an amazing time on the Pippies three day K’Gari tour. Our guides, Cory and Paul were incredible, always making us laugh. Aside from the awesome activities; Lake McKenzie, Eli Creek, Champagne pools just to name a few, the camp was great. Everything you could need for the two nights, we were NEVER hungry, and roasting marshmallows around the fire in the evening then stargazing was the icing on the cake. Driving the 4x4’s on the beach was great experience. Highly recommend this tour, and definitely request Cory or Paul as your guide!

Fun tour
S5140UFjasminem, July 2026
Had a great time on the tour with Cory, Pippies were great at making everything very simple for us and went out their way to make sure we had the best time we could. Also great for allergies, I am celiac and had more than enough good gluten free food provided. Had never driven 4x4 before, was nervous at first but was great fun.
