Two tourists have been bitten by wild dingoes in separate attacks on a popular Queensland island.

An 18-year-old woman was mauled on the back of her leg by a tagged dingo at K'gari in Queensland at 3pm on Saturday.

It is understood the woman was attacked as she headed to Lake Wabby on the island.

In the second attack, a person was punched or pinched in the mouth by a dingo on the beach at Dilli Village around 8pm on Saturday.

It has been confirmed by Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service that both tourists were part of tour groups.

The 18-year-old woman was treated for stab wounds around her left knee.

It is unclear what injuries the person attacked on Saturday evening suffered.

Rangers tried to contact people on Sunday morning and identify both dingoes that attacked the tourists.

Dangerous dingo signs were placed at the entrance to Lake Wabby on Sunday morning.

Rangers will also increase patrols in the areas of the attacks.

More to come.
