How do we get to Fraser Island?
From the South via Noosa, Double Island Point and Rainbow Beach - Plan A
This is the best option, when the tides are right. Take in the view along Teewah Beach and visit the Cooloola Coloured Sands on your way to Fraser
Island. The 10 minute barge trip from Inskip Point on the mainland to Hook Point at the southern tip of Fraser Island
is also the cheapest.

B involves a scenic detour via the Freshwater Road.

Third best option: When you have to travel at a time other than low tide,
use the highway. This route is longer in distance but about the same in travel time.

Detailed driving instructions...
- From the North -
via vehicular ferry from River Heads, 20km south of Hervey Bay. Land
at Wanggoolba Creek on the western side of Fraser Island. There is no need to consider tides on this route. However, barge bookings are
