Itinerary
Enjoy 3 nights at World Heritage-listed Fraser Island including breakfast daily. Whether you prefer the leisure status or are an adventure-seeker at heart, there is something on offer for everyone... From canoe paddles along the western bay to soothing treatments at the Island Day Spa, you'll be spoilt for choice, naturally.
The island's blue, fresh-water lakes are perched in the dunes and perfect to cool down on a hot Queensland Day; or you can wander along crystal-clear streams as they meander through the leafy greenness of the forest.
On day 2 of your stay enjoy the Fraser Island Beauty Spots Tour and learn about the natural and cultural history of Fraser Island. Enjoy the crystal-clear, blue waters of Lake McKenzie, the island's most beautiful perched lake. From Central Station, walk along the banks of Wanggoolba Creek as it flows silently through the rainforest. Marvel at the tall, majestic satinay trees of Pile Valley. Drive along spectacular Seventy-Five Mile Beach. Enjoy a stop at fresh Eli Creek, this swift-flowing creek, the largest on the eastern beach, spills 80 mega litres of water into the ocean every day. Visit the Maheno shipwreck and marvel at The Coloured Sands of the Pinnacles. See an ancient forest being uncovered as Stonetool Sand Blow moves across the island.
