Ranger Guided Day Tour

The world's largest sand island has hidden secrets - towering rainforests, ancient, shifting dunes, beaches stretching beyond the horizon, rainbow-washed sand cliffs and clear, pure lakes, bright as jewels.

Kingfisher Bay Resort, the winner of several Australian Tourism Awards for Environmental Tourism, has Australia's largest private ranger team. 

Our expert guides will take you on a tour of discovery of this World Heritage wilderness. All of our tours have Advanced National Eco Accreditation.

Your ranger will tell you of the epic migrations of whales and wading birds, of thousand-your-old trees, of the fragile complexity of this ever changing, living museum.

Travel back in time with our rangers to when the island was shaped by wind and water from countless grains of sand and to when the Aboriginal people fished and hunted before Europeans arrive to log the forest giants.
