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 Fraser Island, just off the coast of Queensland. Voted one of Australia’s top 10 family resorts in the Holidays with Kids Magazine 2020 Readers’ Choice Awards and having been frequented by royals (hosting the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Harry and Meghan, as well as Prince Charles), a stay at this eco-oasis promises to be unforgettable.
Just a 50-minute scenic ferry ride from Hervey Bay, it’s all too easy to reconnect with nature. From plunging into one of the more than 100 dune lakes, forest bathing in the rainforest or paddling along tranquil waters in a canoe, you’ll be spoilt for choice, all while soaking up the sub-tropical Queensland climate on the world’s largest sand island.
Perfectly located on dreamy Fraser Island, a stay at Kingfisher Bay Resort acts as the perfect launchpad to this UNESCO World Heritage-listed destination where you’ll find gorgeous beaches, soaring sand dunes, verdant rainforest and incredible wildlife, all just a short distance from mainland Australia.
Tucked away off the coast of Queensland, Kingfisher Bay Resort is just a 50-minute ferry ride from River Heads, Hervey Bay, which is approximately four hours (by car or coach) north of 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 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. See the Fine Print for transfer times.

The Resort – Fun-filled eco-resort on the edge of paradise
Discover island bliss 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. This is the only known destination where rainforest has sprouted from the sand. You’ll discover lush rainforest, rolling sand dunes, shimmering lakes and of course white sand beaches. Spend a day in search of the local wildlife, whether it be on land searching for birdlife and dingos, or out on the water in the hopes of spotting a dolphin, manta ray, dugong or even a migrating humpback whale.
After a day of adventure, return to the comforts of this eco-resort, voted one of Australia’s top 10 family resorts in the Holidays with Kids Magazine 2020 Readers’ Choice Awards. Blending seamlessly with the native surroundings thanks to stilts that allow Fraser’s wildlife to hurry about their business unhampered, this hidden paradise is the perfect place to slip into island living with four swimming pools, several restaurants, including the brand-new Rainforest Bar – set up high above the greenery and serving cocktails with a bush tucker twist, and unparalleled nature at your doorstep.
Your Handpicked Inclusions – Roundtrip ferry transfers, welcome drinks, sunset platter and resort experience credit
