And it won&#8217;t take long for you to see why. Located off the southeast coast of <a href=\"\/australia\/queensland\">Queensland<\/a>, the World Heritage-listed K&#8217;gari is the world&#8217;s largest sand island. It&#8217;s packed with diverse landscapes, unique wildlife like the sugar glider and swamp wallaby, plus heaps of land- and water-based adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From whale watching to floating down lazy creeks and camping under the stars, here are 11 of our favourite things to do on K&#8217;gari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"product_wrapper ipf-no-title\"><div class=\"product\" style=\"width:33.333333333333%;\" data-code=\"PZSC\"><div class=\"product-inner\"><div class=\"product-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/ipf\/PZSC.jpg\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/trips\/pzsc\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"product-name\">Brisbane to Cairns Adventure<\/a><\/div><div class=\"product-footer\"><div class=\"product-footer-left\"><span class=\"product-days\">8 days<\/span><\/div><div class=\"product-footer-right\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/trips\/pzsc\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"product-btn\">View trip<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"product\" style=\"width:33.333333333333%;\" data-code=\"PZSVC\"><div class=\"product-inner\"><div class=\"product-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/ipf\/PZSVC.jpg\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/trips\/pzsvc\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"product-name\">East Coast Australia Adventure<\/a><\/div><div class=\"product-footer\"><div class=\"product-footer-left\"><span class=\"product-days\">19 days<\/span><\/div><div class=\"product-footer-right\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/trips\/pzsvc\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"product-btn\">View trip<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"product\" style=\"width:33.333333333333%;\" data-code=\"PZSUC\"><div class=\"product-inner\"><div class=\"product-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/ipf\/PZSUC.jpg\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/trips\/pzsuc\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"product-name\">North Queensland Adventure<\/a><\/div><div class=\"product-footer\"><div class=\"product-footer-left\"><span class=\"product-days\">13 days<\/span><\/div><div class=\"product-footer-right\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/trips\/pzsuc\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"product-btn\">View trip<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Swim in Lake McKenzie&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know K&#8217;gari has over 40 lakes? But if you only have time for one, we&#8217;d recommend Lake McKenzie. Yes, it&#8217;s one of the most popular lakes, but there&#8217;s a reason for that. The water is some of the purest on earth, the water is unbelievably blue and the silica sand is white and soft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a random question for you: when was the last time you cleaned your gold or silver rings? The sand at Lake McKenzie is <em>that<\/em> soft, you can use it to clean your jewellery. Or scoop a handful and give your body a good scrub \u2013 you won\u2019t find a cheaper or more natural exfoliation treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1917\" height=\"1079\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Australia_queensland_Fraser-Island_02.jpeg\" alt=\"A woman stands in the waters of Lake McKenzie on K'gari.\" class=\"wp-image-87920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Australia_queensland_Fraser-Island_02.jpeg 1917w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Australia_queensland_Fraser-Island_02-425x239.jpeg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Australia_queensland_Fraser-Island_02-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Australia_queensland_Fraser-Island_02-1536x865.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Australia_queensland_Fraser-Island_02-1170x659.jpeg 1170w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Australia_queensland_Fraser-Island_02-585x329.jpeg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1917px) 100vw, 1917px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lake McKenzie is a safe (and scenic) swimming spot <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Watch the sunset&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Watching the sunset never gets old. And sunset on K&#8217;gari is one for the books. No matter where you are, make sure you get a good seat to watch the sky light up with hues of pink, purple and orange. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best sunset spots depend on which side of the island you&#8217;re on, but Kingfisher Bay is a firm favourite. If you&#8217;re an early riser, it&#8217;s also worth going to Eurong Beach to watch the sunrise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Go four-wheel driving on 75-Mile Beach\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The roads on K&#8217;gari are mostly sand, so your four-wheel driving skills are about to be put to the test. 75-Mile Beach is a real sand highway (with road signs and speed cameras) that runs the length of the island&#8217;s east coast. Blast your favourite playlist and feel the sea breeze on your skin as you cruise along this long stretch of coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep your eyes peeled for wild dingoes and people fishing by the water. And don&#8217;t be alarmed if you see the occasional plane landing on the sand \u2013 the beach is also an airstrip. Driving 75-Mile Beach is best at low tide when the sand is hard and flat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1918\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Australia_queensland_Fraser-Island_07.jpeg\" alt=\"A wide view of 75 Mile Beach with two cars on the sand\" class=\"wp-image-87921\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Australia_queensland_Fraser-Island_07.jpeg 1918w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Australia_queensland_Fraser-Island_07-425x239.jpeg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Australia_queensland_Fraser-Island_07-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Australia_queensland_Fraser-Island_07-1536x865.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Australia_queensland_Fraser-Island_07-1170x659.jpeg 1170w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Australia_queensland_Fraser-Island_07-585x329.jpeg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1918px) 100vw, 1918px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A hub of activity, 75-Mile Beach is K&#8217;gari&#8217;s coastal highway<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Take a dunk in Champagne Pools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Champagne Pools is a natural spa. It gets its name from frothing ocean waves that spill over the pools&#8217; rocky edges like fizzy wine tumbling down a tower of coupe glasses. It&#8217;s the only place on K&#8217;gari where you&#8217;re allowed to swim in the sea, so you can imagine it&#8217;s a popular spot. If you don&#8217;t fancy a dip, admire the pools from the boardwalk that wraps around the headline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Float down Eli Creek<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Eli Creek is the largest creek on K&#8217;gari. It pours up to four million litres of water into the ocean every hour. Ta<meta charset=\"utf-8\"><\/meta>ke a short stroll along the boardwalk through banksia and pandanus groves or pop on your swimsuit for a refreshing float down the creek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/queensland-fraser-island-eli-creek-1075005200-ss-800x450-1.jpg\" alt=\"The water and surrounding creek bed of Eli Creek\" class=\"wp-image-43478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/queensland-fraser-island-eli-creek-1075005200-ss-800x450-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/queensland-fraser-island-eli-creek-1075005200-ss-800x450-1-425x239.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/queensland-fraser-island-eli-creek-1075005200-ss-800x450-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/queensland-fraser-island-eli-creek-1075005200-ss-800x450-1-585x329.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The flowing water of Eli Creek is a popular attraction for swimmers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Spot humpback whales<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The whale-watching season runs from July to October. Every year, t<meta charset=\"utf-8\"><\/meta>hese marine giants migrate from the cold waters of Antarctica to birth their calves in the warmer waters along the East Coast. There are plenty of whale-watching tours available along the coast, including Hervey Bay, but you have a good chance of spotting a humpback (or two) from the headlands of K&#8217;gari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. See wild dingoes and other native wildlife&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>K&#8217;gari is home to a diverse range of native wildlife, including swamp wallabies, short-eared mountain possums, sugar gliders (nocturnal gliding possums) and dingoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dingo is the island&#8217;s most famous four-legged resident, with an estimated 30 dingo packs. You&#8217;ll probably see a few roaming the shores when driving along 75-Mile Beach. You may also hear a pack howling in the distance at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Read more: <a href=\"\/adventures\/10-epic-spots-to-stop-at-on-your-east-coast-australia-road-trip\/\">10 must-visit places on Australia&#8217;s East Coast<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1919\" height=\"1081\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Australia_queensland_Fraser-Island_09.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-87922\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Australia_queensland_Fraser-Island_09.jpeg 1919w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Australia_queensland_Fraser-Island_09-425x239.jpeg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Australia_queensland_Fraser-Island_09-768x433.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Australia_queensland_Fraser-Island_09-1536x865.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Australia_queensland_Fraser-Island_09-1170x659.jpeg 1170w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Australia_queensland_Fraser-Island_09-585x330.jpeg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1919px) 100vw, 1919px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dingos prowl the beaches and rainforest of K&#8217;gari<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Visit Maheno Shipwreck<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The shipwreck of SS Maheno is one of the island&#8217;s most iconic sites. But it&#8217;s also a reminder of how treacherous the waters surrounding this island can be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SS Maheno was a former luxury cruise liner and WWI hospital ship. She was sold to Japan for scrap after the war, but a cyclone during her final voyage in 1935 meant her fate was destined for K&#8217;gari. It&#8217;s definitely worth stopping by to see Maheno&#8217;s rusty skeleton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Explore the ancient Pile Valley rainforest&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\"><\/meta>Dubbed the heart of K&#8217;gari with thick rainforest canopies and abundant native plants, Central Station and Pile Valley are a great place to reconnect with nature. The 4km bushwalk circuit takes you past giant satinay trees (some of which are over 1,000 years old), kauri pines, giant king ferns and bunya pines. Don&#8217;t forget to take a few deep breaths to fill your lungs with ancient rainforest air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Read more: <a href=\"\/adventures\/rainforest-rescue\/\">The locals on a mission to save the Daintree Rainforest<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia_queensland_Fraser-Island_05.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-87923\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia_queensland_Fraser-Island_05.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia_queensland_Fraser-Island_05-425x239.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia_queensland_Fraser-Island_05-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia_queensland_Fraser-Island_05-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia_queensland_Fraser-Island_05-1170x658.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia_queensland_Fraser-Island_05-585x329.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Explore the greenery as well as the blue waters of K&#8217;gari<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Get a free pedicure at Lake Wabby<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lake Wabby is K&#8217;gari\u2019s deepest lake. Getting there involves a 30-minute hike over sand dunes, but the burning sensation in your calves is totally worth it when you arrive at this oasis. Jump in the water to cool down and then throw down a blanket to relax and admire the view. Don&#8217;t freak out if you feel something tickling your feet \u2013 the lake is full of tiny fish that eat the dead skin off your feet. Think of it as a free pedicure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. Go camping&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to beat falling asleep to the sound of waves crashing on the shore or waking up to birds chirping in the trees above. There are innumerable, varied camping areas on K&#8217;gari, with several fenced sites to keep the dingoes out. If you want a little more comfort, there are plenty of hotel resorts, beach houses, lodges and motel-style accommodation options to choose from, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
