Air Fraser Island

Touch down on sand and lift off into World Heritage views — Air Fraser Island turns K'gari’s legendary 75 Mile Beach into your runway. **Beach landings, scenic flights and flexible fly/drive adventures connecting Hervey Bay, the Sunshine Coast and K'gari (formerly Fraser Island).** If you’ve dreamt of a beach landing, this is how you do it. Air Fraser Island is one of the few commercial operators worldwide to offer take‑offs and landings on 75 Mile Beach, a designated National Highway that doubles as a light‑aircraft airstrip. Fly in from Hervey Bay or Sunshine Coast airports, then choose your pace: join an off‑road, air‑conditioned coach tour to icons like Lake McKenzie, Eli Creek, the Pinnacles and the SS Maheno, or pick up a 4WD on a fly/drive/ stay package and explore under your own steam. Tours and transfers operate year‑round, making K'gari easy to reach and unforgettable to see from above. What’s special about landing on 75 Mile Beach? All Air Fraser Island tour packages begin and end on 75 Mile Beach, which is both a stunning stretch of sand and a designated National Highway with an 80 km/h speed limit. It also functions as an airstrip for light aircraft, creating a uniquely K'gari arrival and departure you won’t forget. Where can a Fly/Bus day tour take me? After your scenic beach landing, you’ll board an off‑road, air‑conditioned 4×4 coach to travel along 75 Mile Beach and into rainforest with satinay and brush box trees. Swim in the clear blue of Lake McKenzie, float down Eli Creek as it pours millions of litres into the sea each hour, admire the 72 colours of the Pinnacles and learn the SS Maheno story. Prefer to explore at your own pace? Opt for a fly/drive/stay. Touch down on 75 Mile Beach, collect your 4WD and follow the sand tracks to east‑coast icons and inland lakes. Stay overnight at favourites such as Kingfisher Bay Resort, Eurong Beach Resort or Fraser Island Retreat in Happy Valley — ideal bases for Lake McKenzie, Central Station and more. Where do flights depart from? Services operate from Hervey Bay Airport and Sunshine Coast Airport at Marcoola (formerly Maroochydore Airport), around 10 km north of Maroochydore and roughly 90 km north of central Brisbane. You’ll meet your pilot at the terminal before a scenic hop up the coast to K'gari and that signature beach landing. Can I reach Indian Head and other east‑coast highlights? Yes. From 75 Mile Beach you can access Indian Head, Eli Creek, the Champagne Pools and the Maheno Shipwreck. Indian Head is K'gari’s most easterly point and a renowned lookout for turtles, dolphins, sharks, manta rays and, in season, whales. K'gari means “paradise” in the Butchulla language. Ready to fly?
