Driving

Why just view it, when you can drive on it!

Driving on Fraser Island is an amazing experience. Consisting of inland tracks and a sand highway, it is a unique and once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! However, driving on sand and narrow inland tracks can take some getting used to and there are rules on how you should drive on Fraser Island. They have on-duty police to ensure all drivers adhere to the rules of the road and to keep everyone in check!

Fraser Island is located off the east coast of Australia on the Fraser Coast. The only way to get to and from the island is by a ferry or barge as there are no bridges that go between the island and the mainland. While you cannot technically drive to the island - you can take your vehicle! The ferry and barge are both vehicle ferries and depart from River Heads near Hervey Bay and Inskip Point near Rainbow Beach.

Camping on Fraser Island is a camping experience unlike any other. This special part of Australia allows you to immerse yourself into the wild and enjoy what the island has to offer. Fraser Island, or K'gari, is the world's largest sand island and is found off the east coast of Australia. It is a nature reserve that draws tourists and visitors from all over the world where they can see the untouched flora and fauna up close. The island has forests and beaches and many beautiful sites worth seeing. There are resorts on the island as well as several other places that  you can rent accommodation, plus several campgrounds.  

Fraser Island is famous for its unique tag-along tours which give travellers the opportunity to actually drive on the island through their trip in a 4-wheel drive. Tag-along tours can be joined for 1 or 2 nights and have both camping and resort accommodation options. Many guests joining a tag along tour usually want to drive on the island, where they must follow the road rules of the island and have a valid drivers license with them while driving. However, many guests on tag-along tours often just enjoy being a passenger, opting to take in the view from the passenger's seat.

Fraser Island is best experienced behind the wheel of a 4X4. Taking a 4 wheel drive vehicle around the world's largest sand island is a unique and incredible experience. With the wheel beneath your hands and sand beneath the tires, you will finally get to know what all the excitement is all about!
