Australian Sunset Safaris

Australian Sunset Safaris is a family-founded eco-tour operator in South East Queensland, specialising in tours to Moreton Island, Fraser Island, and the Southern Great Barrier Reef. Founded in 2001 by Greg and Nicole Alder along with Greg’s brothers, the company grew from deep family roots in the region, where the Alder brothers had spent their youth exploring and developing outdoor skills passed down through generations.

We offers tours ranging from single-day excursions to 6-day packages, featuring activities such as snorkelling with marine life, transparent kayaking, sand boarding, and 4WD adventures; with transportation from Gold Coast, Brisbane, and Sunshine Coast.

What began as day tours on North Stradbroke Island expanded to include Fraser Island, Southern Great Barrier Reef and Moreton Island Around 2008, Sunset Safaris experienced significant growth, particularly in the youth and backpacker market. Interestingly, the company gained a reputation as the “Love Boat” when three Alder brothers and several guides met their future spouses during tours, leading to an international, multicultural expansion of the family and business.

With over 20 years of experience, the company maintains its core values of showcasing Queensland’s natural wonders, including pristine beaches, clear waters, and ancient rainforests. Our focus remains on creating memorable experiences for visitors while maintaining sustainable eco-tourism practices. Their guides are specially trained to provide high-quality tours that combine adventure with environmental appreciation.
