Terms of Use

About this website

Fraser Coast Adventures (frasercoastadventures.com) is an independent online guide to Fraser Island (K'gari) 4WD tag-along tours and Hervey Bay whale watching experiences. We provide operator comparisons, honest assessments, and booking links to third-party tour operators via the Viator platform.

We are not a travel agent, tour operator, or booking platform. We do not process bookings, collect payments, or operate tours.

Affiliate disclosure

Fraser Coast Adventures is a participant in the Viator affiliate program. This means we earn a commission when you click a link on our site and make a booking on Viator. The commission is paid by Viator and does not affect the price you pay. The price you pay for any tour is the same whether you book directly through Viator or through our affiliate links.

This commercial relationship does not influence our editorial content. Our operator assessments and recommendations are based on publicly available information, traveller reviews, and operator credentials – not on commission arrangements or paid placements.

All affiliate links on this site are identified with a standard external link indicator (↗) and are clearly labelled as links to viator.com.

Information accuracy

We make reasonable efforts to ensure the information on this site is accurate and up to date at the time of publication. However:

• Prices: Prices shown on this site are sourced from Viator's API and are subject to change without notice. We show the date on which prices were last verified, but cannot guarantee current pricing. Always check the Viator booking page for the confirmed, live price before completing a booking.
• Tour details: Tour itineraries, durations, inclusions, and requirements are set by the tour operators, not by us. We endeavour to describe tours accurately based on publicly available operator information, but operators may change their offerings without notifying us.
• Operator assessments: Our descriptions of tour operators (e.g., "best for first-timers", "best social vibe") are editorial opinions based on research. They are not guarantees of the experience you will have. Your experience with any operator may differ from our description.
• Seasonal information: Information about whale watching seasons, weather conditions, and island access is based on general knowledge and may vary year to year. Check with operators or QLD National Parks for current conditions before travelling.

If you find information on this site that is materially inaccurate, please contact us at hello@frasercoastadventures.com and we will correct it promptly.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by Australian law:

Fraser Coast Adventures, its owner, and its contributors are not liable for any loss, damage, or injury arising from your use of this website or your participation in any tour or activity described, recommended, or linked to from this site. This includes (but is not limited to):

• Any discrepancy between information on this site and the actual service provided by a tour operator
• Any injury, loss, or damage you suffer during a tour booked through Viator or any other platform
• Any financial loss arising from price changes, booking cancellations, or operator failures
• Any decisions made based on information contained on this site

Your contract for any tour is directly with Viator and/or the tour operator, not with Fraser Coast Adventures. We have no liability under that contract.

This limitation of liability does not limit rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded. If you have rights under the ACL that apply to you, those rights are not affected by these terms.
