There are two ferries across to K'gari (Fraser Island). The shortest, the Manta Ray Barge from Inskip Point (neighbouring Rainbow Beach) takes 10 minutes and the longest, the Fraser Venture Ferry from River Heads to Wanggolba Creek, near Kingfisher Resort, takes 30 minutes.

The ferry journey from Inskip Point (near Rainbow Beach) to Hook Point on K'gari (Fraser Island) is remarkably short, typically taking only 10 to 15 minutes. Operated by the Manta Ray Fraser Island Barge, this is the primary vehicle access point for those traveling from the south. The ferry runs continuously throughout the day on a "demand" basis, meaning there is rarely a long wait. However, it is important to note that the landing at Hook Point is directly onto the sand, so a 4WD vehicle is mandatory to board and exit the barge. For travelers in 2026, this quick hop is the gateway to the world's largest sand island, but drivers are always cautioned to check the tides before arrival, as the beach "highway" on K'gari can be impassable during high tide immediately after disembarking.
