Fraser Island yacht charter Indigo on Pelican Bank, a remote sand island only reachable by boat.
Fraser Island has many claims to fame.
It's the world’s largest sand island, at 123km long. It's the only place on the globe where tall rainforests grow on sand dunes. And it's World Heritage listed alongside Uluru and the Great Barrier Reef, recognised for its “exceptional natural beauty”.
Sweeping stretches of white sandy beach, coloured sand cliffs, ancient dune formations, clear freshwater lakes and native flora and fauna (including its famous protected dingo population) – all in one place. Now you're just showing off, Fraser Island.

Located off Australia’s eastern Queensland coast in the Fraser Coast region, this slice of paradise is one of our country's most eco-friendly holiday spots for nature lovers.
K’gari, as it is known by its traditional owners, the Butchulla people, even means ‘paradise’.
