Frequently asked questions
Which vehicle and booking should I choose?
If you're two people, choose the Jimny. For 1–3 people wanting a larger vehicle, choose the LandCruiser 1–3 option. For 4–6 people, choose the LandCruiser 4–6 option. The vehicle, accommodation and inclusions are the same across all LandCruiser options — the booking split is simply for pricing purposes in our booking system.
Why are there two separate LandCruiser bookings?
Our booking system (Rezdy) handles pricing based on group size, so we've split the LandCruiser package into 1–3 people and 4–6 people to ensure the pricing works correctly for different group sizes. The vehicle, the resort and the experience are identical — just select the option that matches your group.
What is Kingfisher Bay Resort like?
Kingfisher Bay Resort is located on the western side of K'Gari and is the main ferry arrival point — you step off the ferry and you're essentially at the resort. It offers hotel-style accommodation with a swimming pool, restaurants and bar on-site. It's the most accessible and comfortable accommodation on the island, especially for first-time visitors, and is a great base for reaching Lake McKenzie, 75 Mile Beach, Eli Creek, Maheno Shipwreck and Central Station.
What applies during peak periods?
During school holidays and major travel seasons, a minimum 3-day hire applies (instead of the standard 2-day minimum) and surcharge pricing may apply depending on dates and availability. Kingfisher Bay Resort accommodation is limited and in high demand during peak periods — we recommend booking as early as possible.
Do I need to bring all my food and supplies?
Yes — all food, water and supplies must be purchased before leaving our Geebung depot. There are no shops at River Heads ferry terminal, and limited options on K'Gari outside the resort. Stock up before you drive north.
Do I need 4WD experience?
No. Every booking includes a comprehensive 40-minute safety briefing at our Geebung depot covering everything: sand driving, low range, tyre pressures, creek crossings and K'Gari's specific conditions. First-timers are very welcome in both vehicles.
How long is the drive from Brisbane to the ferry?
From our Geebung depot, the drive to River Heads ferry terminal is approximately 3.5 hours via the Bruce Highway. We recommend leaving by 8:00am to catch a morning ferry and maximise your first day on the island. All food and supplies must be purchased before leaving Geebung — there is nothing available at River Heads.
Prefer to collect from Brisbane?

Our Geebung depot is close to Brisbane Airport — collect from 8:00am and drive north at your own pace.
