What to expect
Expect a full day of varied terrain: you'll spend stretches on the island's firm sand highways in a 4WD vehicle, interspersed with walks through quiet rainforest pockets. Lake McKenzie's swimming stop is the centrepiece—the water really is startlingly clear and shallow. Your guide handles interpretation en route, explaining how the island formed and what creatures inhabit it. The pace balances driving, walking, and stops for food and drink. By day's end you've covered significant ground and absorbed the island's scale and isolation.
