The best time to visit Kingfisher Bay Resort on K'gari (Fraser Island) really depends on what you would like to do. The island has a mild, temperate climate year-round, so there's always something different to enjoy. As well as the resort's famous Ranger-guided activities, full-day 4WD tours, the Illumina light show and unmissable sunsets, here is a breakdown of what you can expect throughout the year.

Dry Season (May to October):

Overall: This is considered a prime time to visit. The weather is cooler and drier with lower humidity and minimal rainfall, making it ideal for outdoor activities and island tours.

Weather: Average temperatures typically range from about 14°C to 25°C.

Activities:

• Whale Watching: This is the peak season for whale watching. From July to October, humpback whales gather in the calm, protected waters of Hervey Bay. Guests can embark on half-day cruises directly from the resort's jetty to witness these majestic creatures up close.
• Hiking: The cooler temperatures and drier conditions make for more comfortable exploration of the island's vast network of sand tracks and walking trails, check out the self-guided walking trail map available through the resort or the on-foot island adventure package.
• Fishing: The calm waters of the Great Sandy Strait are perfect for fishing. You can cast a line directly from the Kingfisher Bay jetty where the water is teeming with marine life at dusk and dawn.
• Swimming: Although considered the cooler time of year, many of the island's lakes maintain a comfortable temperature, meaning swimming can be enjoyed year round.

Warmer Months (September to February):

Overall: This is a wonderful time for swimming and enjoying the island's famous lakes and creeks.

Weather: Average temperatures range from about 20°C to 30°C, with higher humidity and the possibility of tropical afternoon showers, especially from January to March.

Activities:

• Swimming: The resort's four lagoon pools and the famous perched lakes, such as Lake McKenzie, are perfect for a refreshing dip in the warm weather.
• Lakes and Creeks: This is the ideal time to cool off in the crystal-clear waters of Lake McKenzie and float down the gentle current of Eli Creek on a Beauty Spots 4WD Tour.
• Rainforests: While there may be more rainfall during these months, it makes the island's ancient rainforests, like those at Central Station, even more lush and vibrant.

For cooler, drier weather and the ultimate whale watching experience, May to October is your best bet. If you want to swim in the lakes and don't mind the warmer weather, then September to February is an ideal time for your visit.
