Fraser Island (K'gari) Helicopter Experience
Half Day, Bucket List Done
Fly to Fraser Island for a VIP lunch at Kingfisher Bay Resort and an aerial tour of Lake McKenzie's impossible turquoise. The most exclusive way to experience the world's largest sand island.
The World's Largest Sand Island. Done in a Single Half Day.
K'gari (formerly Fraser Island) is one of those places every Queenslander says "I'll get there one day" and most never do. The 4WD ferry, the campsite logistics, the multi-day commitment. So we built a better way.
Lift off from Caloundra. Track the spectacular Sunshine Coast and Wide Bay coastline north. Land at the iconic Kingfisher Bay Resort for a VIP lunch surrounded by World Heritage rainforest. Climb back into the helicopter for an aerial tour of Lake McKenzie, Fraser's most-visited natural wonder, more breathtaking from 1,000 feet than it could ever be from a tour bus. By late afternoon, you're back at Caloundra with photos that look like they belong in National Geographic.

Lift off from Caloundra Aerodrome, coffee, briefing, into a premium helicopter.
