We offer safe, comfortable Fraser Island diving lodgings in permanent single- or double-room tents, two or three-bedroom cabins without bathrooms, one or two-bedroom cabins with ensuite bathrooms, and both unpowered and powered campsites.
Contact the dive centres in Hervey Bay, Urangan, and Rainbow Beach to arrange diving courses and tours in the vicinity of Fraser Island.
The artificial reefs are in fine condition, there are ample marine animals in the area, and you may spot humpback whales migrating during the winter/spring season.
Stay at the Cathedrals on Fraser campground before or after your diving tour. The secure dingo-fenced facility is centrally located on the eastern beach.
There are just as many activities and attractions for you to relish above-ground along the beautiful coast of World Heritage-listed Fraser Island as in the ocean. Explore Fraser Island’s unique places of interest from our tree-shielded, affordable accommodations.
You will need somewhere to stay, so make us your undersea exploration headquarters. You can travel to and from Cathedrals on Fraser on the Manta Ray barge from Inskip Point, which is about 14 minutes from Rainbow Beach in the south. Alternatively, get onto a Kingfisher barge at River Heads − about 20 minutes from Hervey Bay − to either Wanggoolba Creek or Kingfisher Bay.
Contact us for full directions and instructions.
Aim to travel two hours either side of low tide wherever possible. Ensure you are not driving on the beach two hours either side of high tide.
It is recommended that you reduce tyre pressure before you get to Fraser Island. This is even more important if you are towing (don’t forget to reduce your trailer/caravan tyre pressures too!) If you are an inexperienced driver or towing a trailer or caravan, we recommend taking the Mantaray barge out of Rainbow Beach to avoid the need to take an inland track. Generally, the eastern beach route will be a smoother journey. During dry weather the sand at Inskip Point can become very soft and vehicles can easily get bogged getting on and off the barge.

In an emergency, dial 000. If you don’t have mobile reception try 112. Help can be hours away, so carry a well-stocked first aid kit and medical supplies.
