Swim in an essential-oil infused lake

Nestled among the rainforest is a bounty of beautiful lakes including the idyllic Lake McKenzie. Filled with turquoise water and natural tea tree oil, its blue hues bounce off the silica white sands, creating a picture-perfect swimming sanctuary.

Hit exciting 4WD tracks

When it comes to road trips, you can’t beat the exhilaration that comes with driving down a white-sand beach next to wild blue waves. On K’gari, that’s what it’s all about. Say goodbye to traffic lights and hello to off-road adventures.

Watch whales with their calves

From August to October, it’s not just you who will be holidaying around K’gari. The protected bay acts as the perfect getaway destination for thousands of humpback whales and their newly born calves. See them up-close on this epic boat trip.

Hike the Fraser Island Great Walk

There are plenty of ways to explore K’gari’s jaw-dropping scenery, but nothing is more immersive than walking through it. Hike a section (or all) of the Fraser Island Great Walk to discover serene lakes, lush rainforest and sweeping lookout points.

Get a birds-eye view

K’gari offers up unbelievable scenes from land, but flying over the world’s largest sand island is a sight to be cherished. Marvel at its picturesque lakes, verdant-green forest and beautiful blue ocean on this scenic flight.

Float down Eli Creek

Eli Creek is K’gari’s answer to a natural water slide. The creek’s flowing current makes for an effortless yet invigorating adventure along this natural oasis. Hop in by the boardwalk before peacefully floating back to Seventy-Five Mile Beach.
