Fraser Island | Top Tourist Destination in Australia

Discover Fraser Island, Australia

Fraser Island is a top tourist destination in Australia. Otherwise known as K’gari, this heritage-listed island is bursting with long beaches and wide areas of rainforest. With plenty of summer activities on offer, here are our top five experiences on Fraser Island.

Swimming In Lake McKenzie

With water so pure that even wildlife can’t survive in it, Lake McKenzie is truly an incredible place. One of Fraser Island’s 100+ freshwater lakes, Lake McKenzie is without a doubt the star with a beach of pure, white silica. A day resting on the shore and swimming in its crisp water is pretty amazing.

Trekking Through The Rainforest

Fraser Island is the biggest sand island in the world – even the rainforest grows out of it. The flora has more than enough nutrients to grow, thanks to naturally present special fungi that are mixed in the sand. Trekking beneath the sky-high canopy is a unique experience tonFraser Island.

Whale Watching From Indian Head

Indian Head is a spectacular coastal headland with views looking out over the ocean. As a result, it’s an ideal platform to spot dolphins, turtles and sharks, as well as humpback whales during the migration season between June and October.

Camp Under The Stars

Have an authentic island experience by camping under the stars and soaking up culture in the meantime. With a campfire, beach cricket, sunset fishing, guitar and didgeridoo to play with, it’s a great way to get to know your fellow campmates before you fall asleep under the stars. This is as close as it gets to sleeping on the beach and the perfect way to spend the night during summer on Fraser Island.

4WD Along 75 Mile Beach

Driving on the sand island is as much fun as it is challenging, so as long as you’re smart, you’ll be safe and have a wicked time. Travel just a fraction of the length of 75 Mile Beach as you manoeuvre your 4WD. With guides on hand, you can be driven rather than drive and still feel the exhilaration that comes with driving on Fraser Island.
