 plane on beach by Myndo
Most go by ship, but there is a faster and more interesting version: fly in.
In a Chesna they take you from Hervey Bay and they land right on the Beach of the island.
This only works if it is low tide.
And thats also the reason you should be there at the time they said when you want to fly back....
Air Fraser Island is one of the companies.
They also hire Cars (4WD) on the island, so you can combine it.
1999 the prices were as folow:
1 Day Trip 35 AUS (australian Dollars) per person (flight)
Fly-Drive-Fly: 85 AUS pp
(includes 4WD hire on the island and flight)
Fly-Drive-Camp 150 AUS
(2days, one night, incl 4WD hire and camping gear)
(we made this: it was just great!) Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

You can take a plane trip around Fraser for about $60. It lasts about 20 mins and you get to see parts of Fraser Island that a 4 x 4 just won't take you also taking off and landing on the beach is woth the $60 alone. Theme: Airplane

 4wd beach by Myndo
There are some roads, but they consist -like everything else here - of sand.
So this is the only way. There are tours taking you around, or you can hire a car and drive yourself.
It?s not as hard as it sounds.
There are just a few things to remember that are special here.
- You can drive on the beach and almost everywhere on the island (where there is a route), but don?t drive over the vegetation.
- Don?t drive through salt water (yes, this means the sea, so stay away from the beach if the tide is high) - the sweet water creeks that you have to cross from time to time are ok, though.
- Beware of Eli Creek: its the biggest of these Creeks on the Eastern beach and it is often deeper than expected.
- If you cross someone on the beach, indicate the side on which you are driving (doesn?t always have to be the same one, you can cross on the right or the left).
- There are planes landing on some strech of the beach: so also look up. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

 Fraser Ferry by Jmill42
A few crazy people go to Fraser by plane, with a landing being performed on the sand at a beach along the eastern coast. Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat

 Suzuki Jimny by Mez77
It was also the cheapest hire vehicle that you could get at AUD$115 per day plus insurance.
There are plenty of places at Hervey Bay to hire 4WDs, but limited numbers on the Island itself. Leave a Comment

 "our" toyota on the beach by vatschi
There are several companies that offer self-driving trips to fraser and provide you with the 4WD and camping gear.
I was on a self-driving trip (with fraser escape) and had a very good time, seeing all the major sights as they provided us with kind of a plan when we should be at what point (also because of the tides!).
There are people with bad experiences on these self-guided trips and of course it depends very much on the group wether you have a good time or not. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

We were staying at Noosa Heads and took a 4 wheel drive guided day tour. It was a very comfortable , but long day out, our journey starting with a 6:30am pickup at our hotel. Our new Toyota Landcruiser was ideal for the day, handling the drive along beaches and rainforest tracks extremely well. A champagne breakfast was served on Rainbow Beach whilst we enjoyed a BBQ lunch at McKenzie Lake including wine, beer and soft drinks. Our guide gave an excellent commentary and went out of his way to take us to the special spots. Cost for the day was Au $169 per person, well worth it. Leave a Comment
