The question comes to mind, how many days do I need on the biggest sand island in the world? It depends on how much time you have! You can spend as little as one day on the island to see the main highlights or up to a week to really experience K’gari in full.

Most visitors tend to spend about three days on the island to see more than the main attractions.

What’s the best way to get to K’gari?

The only way to get to K’gari is a ferry or a flight from Rainbow Beach or Hervey Bay.

However, if you book a tour for yourself, everything will be organised, and you will be given a location to get picked up from! Most tours do pick ups from Rainbow Beach or Hervey Bay, but sometimes there are tours from Brisbane, Surfers Paradise, or Noosa.

How can I travel around K’gari?

You will need a four wheel drive to get around K’gari due to the island having sandy tracks and large ruts. There are even sections on the beach that your normal everyday car wouldn’t be able to drive through.

You can hire yourself a four wheel drive or book a tour and enjoy being driven around the island!

The best places to visit in K’gari

Find out some of the best places to visit when you’re exploring and seeing K’gari.

Lake McKenzie

Lake McKenzie is one of the most beautiful lakes. The lake has only rainwater and is super clear and has the softest white sand.

Champagne Pools

Check out one of Australia’s best natural swimming pools. The pool feels just like you’re in a jacuzzi, or perhaps in a glass of champagne. As the ocean crashes into the rock pools, it creates a fizz and jacuzzi like feeling.

Eli Creek

K’gari has a lot of swimming spots, and Eli Creek is one of the more popular freshwater creeks! Eli Creek is on the east coast of K’gar.

75 Mile Beach

Every traveller should experience driving down 75 Mile Beach! It’s the length of the island’s east coast with pristine blue waters to watch out on as you’re driving down.

Maheno Shipwreck

Back in 1935, the Maheno ship was being taken to Japan for scrap. On its way, the tow line broke and the ship drifted off. Eventually, the ship found its way to 75 Mile Beach and has been sitting there ever since.

You will no doubt enjoy your three day getaway on K’gari, a beautiful tropical paradise! There is plenty more to see like swimming in the beautiful green Lake Wabby, going whale watching, and walking through the rainforest. Make sure you book a tour today and have an amazing three day camping experience!
