The stunning World Heritage listed Fraser Island is a sub-tropical paradise full of sweeping white beaches, sapphire blue ocean, streams and lakes, lush rainforest, wondrous sand blows and cliffs of rainbow sands! The island protects a fragile ecosystem of flora and fauna of universal significance. With towering satinay, kauri pines and brush box trees, as well as some of the largest ferns on the planet, taking a stroll through these areas is like stepping back in time to a pure, lost paradise world. The Island’s lakes range from pure, clear marvels to red-tinged tannin-stained lakes.

Of course, humans aren’t the only ones who appreciate the beauty of Fraser Island, with a variety of wildlife happily inhabiting the island. These include dingoes – the islands favourite local – wallabies, possums, snakes, hawks, kites and sea eagles, dolphins, freshwater and green sea turtles, stingrays, manta rays and whales, among others – all of which you’ll have a chance of spotting.

With protection over these natural wonders, the island is also coveted as being the largest coastal dune system and sand island in the world, and you have a chance to see it for yourself!
