Kingfisher Bay is a modern resort on the sheltered, western side of Fraser Island opposite the  Hervey Bay coast.  It has been sympathetically designed utilising land previously used for old logging activities and now restored with imaginative  planting of native shrubs and trees.

Getting to Kingfisher Bay Resort
Most international passengers would take a ferry crossing from the Urangan Boat Harbour at Hervey Bay to Fraser Island although it is possible to fly by helicopter from Hervey Bay.  Hervey Bay can be accessed easily  by:
  • The Tilt Train from Brisbane's Roma Street Station (Roma Street Transit Centre)
  • Self driving; There is secure parking near the harbour for approx A$5 - A$10 per day, payable at source.
  • By bus from Brisbane (Roma Street Transit Centre) and from the Sunshine Coast resorts
  • Flying to Hervey Bay

Kingfisher Bay has  four fast catamaran and three vehicle barge services daily, running between Urangan Boat Harbour at Hervey Bay and its jetty on Fraser Island, a few hundred yards from the hotel reception area.

Since there are a number of ferry crossings each day, it would be possible to arrive or depart by Tilt Train or bus to Brisbane on the same day if you were staying at Kingfisher.  Passengers wishing to arrive and depart by air would need to check flight times at the time of booking but both same-day arrivals and departures by air should be possible for Kingfisher guests. 

Kingfisher Bay will organize complimentary transfers from Hervey Bay airport and from the bus station to Urangan Boat Harbour by prior arrangement. (Tilt Train passengers connect from the station at Maryborough to Hervey Bay bus station by a shuttle bus)
