Our story begins with an adventurous young boy who spent much of his childhood exploring a magical island which he called K’gari. Growing up, Mark spent his school holidays exploring an enchanted sand island just a short boat trip from where he lived in Maryborough. He spent his days chasing sand crabs, catching worms, fishing off the beach and of course, like any kid does when they spend time on the beach, he built lots of sandcastles. A quiet but adventurous kid, Mark spent his days marvelling at the many natural wonders that are found on the island and asking his parents all about them. He was always hungry for knowledge and read many books about the island and studied the regions history. He was fascinated by the natural history of the island but so troubled by the history of it’s peoples. Little Mark eventually grew up, and by grew up we mean into a big kid with responsibilities. Eventually after teaching for a while he started his own adventure company and named it Drop Bear Adventures, now called K'gari Fraser Island Adventures, a company that we are proud to say does things a little differently to the rest. With Hana by his side, the biggest green hearted eco warrior you will ever meet, this nature loving duo head up K’gari’s most progressive tour company. Sustainable and culturally sensitive, this tour company is the sort of tour company you rave about. We would like to acknowledge that our adventures are held on the traditional lands of the Butchulla people.
