Island Escape Locations

Our private catamaran has exclusive access to remote beach locations on Fraser Island. These secluded areas are unable to be accessed by other tour operators and are difficult to reach via land access.

For Island Escape bookings of 2 nights or more, we are also able to take your group to Lady Elliot Island located on the Southern Great Barrier Reef.

Have another island in mind, or wish to extend to a longer escape? Please get in touch and we would be happy to discuss your ideas and organise a quote for you.

More information about our Island Escape locations:

Wathumba Creek and the Northern Wathumba Beach

Fraser Island’s iconic Wathumba creek transforms into a large ocean lake at high tide. Here you will have an opportunity to snorkel in crystal clear waters alongside turtles, rays and a variety of fish species in their breeding habitat. You can experience guided kayaking tours through the vast creek systems amongst stunning landscapes, or take a walk along the remote beaches. The Northern Beach at Wathumba has been likened to the pristine Whitehaven Beach and does not disappoint with its bright white silica sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters.

Awinya Creek

Bowarady Creek and the Coloured Sands/Sandblow

Lady Elliot Island and the Great Barrier Reef

On extended escapes of 2 or more nights you can not only explore the above remote locations on Fraser Island but also visit Lady Elliot Island on the iconic Southern Great Barrier Reef. Anchoring in the sheltered waters off the Island your group will enjoy un-interrupted sunsets, ocean views, and a snorkelling experience that is widely regarded as being amongst the best in the world – with the coral cay being a sanctuary to over 1,200 species of marine life and an abundance of manta rays, turtles, and unspoilt coral reef.

Other northern Great Barrier Reef locations such as Lady Musgrave Island and the Bunker group are also on offer during extended escapes of 4-5 nights.
