Bribie
Island
4WD Hire
The closest island escape from Brisbane — and one of the most underrated. Bribie Island's northern beaches are wild, remote and only accessible by 4WD. Collect your fully-equipped vehicle from our Geebung depot, drive north and be on the sand in under two hours. No unsealed road experience needed.
Two ways to explore
Bribie Island.
Both packages include complimentary 4WD training before departure and unlimited kilometres. Choose the option that suits your trip — vehicle only, or everything you need to camp on the island.
The 4WD and everything you need to drive it safely on the island. Ideal if you have your own camping gear, are booking accommodation at Woorim, or just want the vehicle for the day.

From Geebung depot

- From 8:00amCollect from Geebung depot91 Basalt Street, Geebung — close to Brisbane Airport. Collect your vehicle and complete your complimentary 4WD training and safety briefing before departure.

- All day / multi-dayExplore the northern beachesDrive along the beach, find a remote campsite, fish off the sand or just explore. The northern tip of the island is only accessible by 4WD and is genuinely wild — no crowds, no sealed roads.
- Before returningRe-inflate tyresBefore driving back over the bridge, re-inflate your tyres to road pressure using the air compressor included with your vehicle. We'll cover this in your pre-departure briefing.
- Return dayDrive back to GeebungDrive back south via the Bruce Highway and return your vehicle to the Geebung depot. A quick underbody rinse after beach driving is appreciated before handback.
Unlike Fraser Island and Moreton Island, Bribie Island is connected to the mainland by a bridge — which means there are no ferry tickets to organise, no ferry schedules to work around, and no vehicle ferry costs. Collect from Geebung, drive north, cross the bridge and you're there. It's the simplest island 4WD experience in South East Queensland.

Wild beaches. No crowds.
Just a short drive from Brisbane.
Bribie Island is one of South East Queensland's best-kept secrets. The southern end has shops, cafés and sealed roads — but head north in your 4WD and you'll find deserted beaches that stretch for kilometres.
The northern tip of Bribie Island is only accessible by 4WD — remote, unspoiled beaches with no crowds and spectacular ocean views. The further north you go, the wilder it gets.
Bribie Island is renowned for its fishing — tailor, whiting, flathead and bream are all common. The northern beaches give you access to spots that foot traffic simply can't reach.
Camp right on the beach at one of Bribie's designated camping areas — wake up to the sound of the ocean with no one else for kilometres. Our rooftop tent makes the setup effortless.
Most of Bribie Island is national park — wallabies, diverse birdlife and a spectacular stretch of undeveloped coastline. A 4WD is the only way to access the most remote parts of the park.
Bribie's western beaches face directly into Pumicestone Passage — famous for its stunning sunsets. The eastern ocean beaches catch the sunrise. Camp overnight and experience both.
The calm sheltered waterway between Bribie Island and the mainland is perfect for kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding and birdwatching — a complete contrast to the wild ocean side.
Road rules, beach safety
& the environment.
Most of Bribie Island is national park. The same road rules that apply on the mainland apply here — and the island's ecosystem is fragile. Please follow these guidelines.
Maximum 80 km/h on the beach at low tide. 40 km/h around campgrounds and day-use areas. Standard road rules apply throughout the island.
Always drive on the beach at low tide when hard sand is exposed. High tide driving is dangerous and can result in vehicles being swamped. We provide tide info at collection.
Stay on designated beach and 4WD tracks at all times. Driving off-track destroys fragile coastal vegetation and dune systems and can result in significant fines.
Wallabies, shore birds and marine life are all present. Reduce speed near vegetation edges and never drive on nesting areas or disturb wildlife.
Take all rubbish with you when you leave. Bribie Island is a national park — please leave it exactly as you found it for the next visitor.
Deflate tyres to the recommended sand pressure before beach driving — we cover this in your briefing. Re-inflate before driving on sealed roads on the return journey.
