Fraser Island & Kingfisher Bay

Fraser Island is the largest sand island in the world, accessible only by 4WD vehicles. Discover an amazing array of scenery and attractions, from shipwrecks, heritage logging huts, freshwater creeks, sand dunes, crystal-clear lakes, ancient rainforests and the coloured sands of Seventy-Five Mile Beach. The region is well known for being a haven for humpback whales and their calves; during the migration season you can spot them leaping out of the ocean from the beach.

Kingfisher Bay Resort is set amongst the natural beauty and tranquillity of Fraser Island. Offering hotel rooms plus 1 and 2 bedroom apartments, take the opportunity to join a 4WD tour of the island or a whale watching cruise between August and October.
