K'gari (Fraser Island) Experiences, Things To Do | Overnight Tours, Day Trips - Sydney Expert

<p>The island is inarguably a beautiful place to visit all year round. The summer months are the most popular time to visit, as this is when the weather is warmest and school holidays are in full swing.&nbsp;</p>

<p>If you want to skip the rush, we recommend travelling to K&rsquo;gari in springtime from September to November. During this period, the weather will be warming up but the island will still be relatively quiet, meaning you can explore without having to worry about the crowds.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<p>Due to government regulations and safety restrictions, normal cars are not allowed on K&rsquo;gari, but you can drive around the island in a 4WD instead. The inland roads and tracks are primarily made of sand, so while you wouldn&rsquo;t get very far in a normal car, a 4WD is the perfect vehicle to get around in.<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<p>We recommend at least three days on the island if you&rsquo;d like to spend a decent amount of time exploring all the highlights. However, even if you&rsquo;re a little more pressed for time, we believe it&rsquo;s still worth the trip! K&rsquo;gari has a range of expertly planned day tours that will ensure you can get to see the best of the island in the time that you have.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<p>Swimming in the ocean off of K&rsquo;gari&rsquo;s East Coast is not recommended, as there are multiple hazards and no lifeguards on patrol. Not only do sharks regularly frequent these waters, but the area is also known for its strong rips capable of pulling even the strongest swimmers far from the shore.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, if you&rsquo;d like to swim while visiting the island, there are many other spots to choose from. K&rsquo;gari has an abundance of freshwater lakes and creeks which are considered a much safer choice for a relaxing swim. You can also hop on a tour to the island&rsquo;s West Coast for a supervised swim on the calmer side of the island.&nbsp;<br />
