Kingfisher Bay Resort
Experience island magic like nowhere else with a stay at Kingfisher Bay Resort, hidden on the UNESCO World Heritage-listed paradise of K’gari (Fraser Island), off the Queensland coast. Just a 50-minute scenic ferry ride from Hervey Bay, it’s all too easy to reconnect with nature. From embarking on a guided tour, plunging into one of the more than 100 freshwater lakes, roaming through towering rainforests or exploring vast stretches of the pristine coastline, you’ll be spoiled for choice, all while enjoying the sub-tropical Queensland climate.
Perfectly located on dreamy K’gari (Fraser Island), Kingfisher Bay Resort acts as the perfect launchpad to this UNESCO World Heritage-listed destination, just a short distance from mainland Australia. Kingfisher Bay Resort is a 50-minute ferry ride from River Heads, Hervey Bay, which is approximately four hours (by car or coach) north of the Brisbane CBD. The closest airport is Hervey Bay Airport (HVB). Roundtrip passenger ferry transfers to the island from River Heads, Hervey Bay, are included in your package, please plan accordingly.
Please note, ferry transfer does not include vehicles (full retail rate applies, and pre-booking separately with reservations staff is essential). Transfers are subject to availability and must be pre-booked.

The Resort – An integrated eco-resort on the edge of paradise
Relax and unwind on the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Fraser Island at the award-winning Kingfisher Bay Resort. You’ll never tire of things to do here: canoeing on crystal clear water, tasting bush tucker, enjoying a pampering massage in the Island Day Spa or going bush on a ranger-guided 4WD tour.
Lose yourself in the beauty of the island – the largest sand island on the planet, and one of just two known destinations in the world where rainforest has sprouted from the sand. You’ll discover lush rainforest, rolling sand dunes, shimmering freshwater lakes, crystal clear creeks and, of course, white-sand beaches. Spend a day in search of the local wildlife, whether it be on land spotting dingoes and birdlife, or out on the water in the hopes of seeing a dolphin, manta ray, dugong or even a migrating humpback whale.
After a day of adventure, return to the comforts of this eco-resort, recognised in the world’s top 10% of properties by Tripadvisor. Blending seamlessly with the native surroundings, this hidden paradise is the perfect place to slip into island living, with four swimming pools, unparalleled natural surroundings and several restaurants, including Sand & Wood, where you can feast on a curated menu of Asian and Pacific-inspired cuisine.
