Getting There	• From the South: Drive to Rainbow Beach and then continue to Inskip Pt. Take the Manta Ray barge from Inskip Pt and then, preferably around the time of the low tide, drive up the beach to Happy Valley (about 1 hour). • From the North or West: Book with Kingfisher Barges leaving from River Heads. Drive to Hervey Bay and then take the barge from River Heads. Drive across the island and then, preferably around the time of the low tide, drive up the beach to Happy Valley (about 1.5 hours). DO NOT trust Google maps - it doesn't recognise the eastern beach as a road and so will take you via the inland roads - much longer and slower and difficult! Drive up the ramp and continue into Happy Valley - you will see Fraser Island Retreat ahead of you on the right at the intersection. Turn right and park on the right. You can also get there by air - contact Air Fraser. Remember that you MUST have a 4WD vehicle to access K'gari (Fraser Island).
