Driving a 4WD is just as safe as driving any other vehicle, as long as you follow the right safety practices. 4WD driving can be more technical than regular 2WD driving, especially on sand, so it’s important to know the basics. Before you hire one of our vehicles, our team will give you a thorough safety briefing, show you a safety video, and explain how the vehicle works, including what to do if you get stuck in the sand. Ultimately, it’s up to you as the driver to stay focused, follow all safety precautions, and drive with care at all times.
Our hire vehicles are always in constant 4WD and are some of the most reliable and safest in Australia—the Toyota 80 Series. Plus, you’ll stay connected with your guide via walkie-talkie, and you’re never more than 500m behind the lead vehicle, so you can relax knowing we’ve got your back on your island adventure.
If you’re not sure about self-driving, we also offer guided tours to K’gari (Fraser Island) that take care of everything, so you can simply enjoy the ride!
