As a 4WD playground, BYO 4WD, hire a set of wheels or join an all-encompassing tour group. Cruise down the sandy 75 Mile Beach highway (watch out for tides) and experience K'gari's variety of terrains. On foot, explore over 90km of extraordinary and diverse hiking trails available through the K'gari Great Walk.

Voyage south-east along the inland track to one of K'gari's most acclaimed natural wonders, Lake McKenzie. Lined with pure white sand filled with pristine emerald rainwater, enjoy a refreshing dip then lunch in one of the designated picnic grounds. Embrace the island's friendly atmosphere and discover Eli Creek’s enchanting boardwalk or float down its freshwater current. Grab your camera to capture the famed Maheno Shipwreck and stop to admire The Pinnacles’ coloured sands with vast dunes and natural sculptures.

Continue north to the spectacular Champagne Pools with their fizzy spray that collects into the glistening rockpools. Climb the cliffs at Indian Head to witness 360-degree views of ocean and rainforest, plus wildlife like manta rays, turtles and dolphins. If you’re visiting the island between August and October, wave to humpback whales and their playful calves, or join a whale watching cruise to experience these beautiful creatures up close.  

From astonishing rainforests to pristine stretches of golden sand, this exceptional island will leave unforgettable memories in your heart.
