K'gari (Fraser Island)

You’ll never forget K’gari (meaning Paradise - named by the indigenous Butchulla Traditional Owners) and once you experience it, you'll be left with a very special connection. There is nowhere else like it. World-Heritage listed K'gari is the world’s largest sand island and is situated just off Hervey Bay with easy access via River Heads (45 min ferry cruise). It stretches for 123 km along the Great Sandy Strait and Wide Bay. There are a range of fantastic marine and land-based tours ranging in duration and style that will ensure you have an unforgettable K’gari Experience!

Lady Elliot Island - Great Barrier Reef

We have one of the best kept secrets to share about Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. You don’t have to travel for days to the far northern tropics to experience it with thousands of other tourists. The cooler and less disturbed Southern Great Barrier Reef has been voted by Lonely Planet as the world's best snokelling! Lady Elliot Island is easily accessible from Hervey Bay with a short 40-minute scenic flight. The hard and soft corals, and marine life (home of the manta ray & significant turtle breeding sites) at Lady Elliot Island will truly delight and amaze you! Day trips and longer stays available.

Traditional Custodians

We acknowledge the Butchulla people, the traditional custodians of this land and we pay our respects to their Elders past and present. We extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Experience Hervey Bay acknowledges Butchulla lore:

  • What is good for the land comes first
  • Do not take or touch anything that does not belong to you
  • If you have plenty, you must share
