K'Gari - Fraser Island is the world’s largest sand island, a World Heritage-listed stretch that reaches over 123 kilometres along the southern coast of Queensland. And its clear waters, blue skies and lush rainforest is where you’ll call home for the day.

Your morning kicks off from Hervey Bay’s Marina on a fast catamaran set for K'Gari - Fraser. The Bay is renowned for its local whales so, if the season’s right, be sure to keep your eyes peeled in case they make an appearance. As you enjoy an on-board morning tea, look too for the dolphins, dugongs, turtles and seabirds that call this stretch of coast home. All the while, your expert guide will share with you all the need-to-knows about the area.

You’ll meet the Western edge of the island thanks to a transfer to an amphibious watercraft, designed to drive right up onto the beach ensuring you remain dry and comfortable. You’ll land by Wathumba Creek, where you can explore or take to the water under your own steam in the hope of getting a little closer to those locals.

You’ll refuel with a BBQ lunch, served on board your boat, as you make your way to uncover more of the island, be it Awinya or Bowarrady Creek. Here, you can explore the island by foot or opt for a water-based activity – you can snorkel, stand-up paddleboard or even kayak through the fresh water.

Afternoon tea is a mouth-watering antipasto platter before you head off to explore more of the island.

Explore the World Heritage-listed K'Gari - Fraser Island by land and sea. Meet the locals – turtles, dolphins, dugongs and even whales! Ride on amphibious watercraft – an experience to remember
