Frequently asked questions
Which vehicle should I choose — Jimny or LandCruiser?
If you're two people, the Jimny is the right choice — it's compact, easy to drive on sand and ideal for couples and first-time 4WD drivers. For 3 or more people, or if you want more space for a longer trip, choose the LandCruiser. Both vehicles include the same full camping kit, return ferry, national park permit and camp permit.
What ferry departure times are available?
You can select your preferred departure window when booking: Early Morning (from approximately 8:30am), Mid Morning, or Afternoon. Your confirmed departure time is provided after booking based on availability, tides and conditions. All customers must arrive at our Hervey Bay depot approximately 1.5 hours before the ferry.
Are sleeping bags included?
Sleeping bags are not included in either package. You're welcome to bring your own. Alternatively, sleeping bags are available for hire at $20 each at collection from our Hervey Bay depot — just let us know when booking so we have them ready.
What camping equipment is provided?
Both packages include a complete practical camping kit: tent, camp mats, groundsheet, 2-burner gas stove with gas bottle, pots and pans, cups/bowls/plates, cutlery and utensils, ice box, pre-filled water container, packing box, shovel, toilet paper, matches, and a wash bowl with tea towel and detergent. Food and sleeping bags are not included.
Do I need 4WD experience?
No. Every booking includes a comprehensive 40-minute safety briefing at our Hervey Bay depot before departure — covering sand driving, tyre pressures, creek crossings and K'Gari's specific conditions. Both the Jimny and LandCruiser are suitable for first-time 4WD drivers. Our team will make sure you feel confident before heading onto the island.
What does "hire durations are calendar days" mean?
Hire duration is counted in calendar days — not 24-hour periods from collection time. For example, if you collect on Monday and return on Wednesday, that's a 3-day hire regardless of what time you collected or returned. The minimum is 2 calendar days.
Is the LandCruiser price for one person or a group?
The LandCruiser camping package price already includes 2 people. Additional passengers beyond 2 are added at checkout. The vehicle holds up to 6 people and there is no minimum group size — you can book for just 1–2 people in the LandCruiser if you prefer the extra space.
Do you have a price beat guarantee?
Yes — find the same service for less and we'll beat it. No questions asked. Call 1800 966 424 or include the details in your booking request.
Prefer to collect from Brisbane?

Our Geebung depot is close to Brisbane Airport — collect from 8:00am and drive north at your own pace.
