K’gari, also known as Fraser Island, is a beautiful sand island that has many key attractions. Spending two days on K’gari is enough time to explore and experience the natural beauty.

Throughout the island, there is a lot of history and culture from the Butchulla people who are the traditional owners of K’gari.

Here are a couple of places you can go visit on the beautiful island!

Eli Creek

Spend a few hours swimming in the crystal clear water at the largest creek on the island. You can also have a picnic near Eli Creek or follow the boardwalk that takes you back to the land.

Lake Mackenzie

Lake Mackenzie will be one of the most beautiful lakes you’ll see. The lake is a bit special as it only holds rainwater, making the water very clear. The sand around the lake is white and extremely soft.

Champagne Pool

Champagne Pool has beautiful blue water and jagged rocks. These pools act like a natural jacuzzi. The jacuzzi feeling happens when the ocean water crashes into the pool creating foam, which causes the jacuzzi feeling.

Maheno Shipwreck

The Maheno Shipwreck is exactly what you expect, a washed-up and very rusted shipwreck. The Maheno Shipwreck is one of the more popular attractions in K’gari ever since it got washed up in the 1930s.

The Pinnacles Coloured Sands

Discover some of K’gari’s natural history from the different colour sand dunes and formations over the hundreds of years. You’ll see on the sand formations there are hundreds of different coloured layers.

Lake Wabby

Lake Wabby is a beautiful area with a deep green lake where you can swim in. Surrounding the lake (and also in the water) there is a range of green flora and fauna. As you’re swimming, you might feel something brush against you. Don’t be too alarmed though, it’s probably one of the 12 types of fish that call the lake home!

Are there tours available?

Yes, there are tours available for K’gari! There are a range of tours from one day, two days, and three days. All tours are slightly different from each other, so it’s best to check them out to see which one meets your travel needs.

This day 1 night tour picks you up from Hervey Bay before going to the island or if you need to get picked up from Rainbow Beach, then this tour is best for you! Both are two day tours and are great if you’re someone who loves adventure but prefers to stay in a resort for the night.

Across the two days, you spend on K’gari, you’ll be doing a lot of swimming, exploring, and spotting some wildlife. K’gari is truly a beautiful island and if you can spend more time here, we highly recommend you do! The island will live up to the high expectations you have.
