How To Vacay Like An Insta-Star (With Your Minis)

In Features, Reviews, Stories, Travel by Jessica Jane Sammut

If it’s the perfect social-media post you’re after, we’ve found the perfect spot. Say hello to Kingfisher Bay Resort on Fraser Island. #NOFILTERREQUIRED

Buffets are nice, untouched beaches are cool, gorgeous resorts are pretty exciting, sure. But if you don’t put it on the ‘gram, did it even happen?

If your pic grid is screaming out for ‘wish you were here’ moments, and #nevercominghome hashtags, do yourself a favour and have a squiz at Kingfisher Bay Resort.

If you thought your island vacay days were behind you once you had kids, Fraser Island is here to prove you wrong, mama. With plenty to do as a family, it’s equal parts adventurous and relaxing. Who’d have thought?!

Kingfisher Bay Resort is tucked away on Fraser Island’s western bay, with easy access from the ferry, and ranger-guided activities and 4WD island tours departing daily. Satisfy the grown-ups’ adventurous streak while blowing the kids’ minds on the sandy dunes. If you’ve got your own 4WD, the resort’s staff will happily give you tips on where to go.

Within the island’s three restaurants, specialty ingredients are foraged from the rainforest around the resort. Savour a bush tucker-infused degustation experience at Seabelle Restaurant.

Fancy a date night? Kingfisher Bay Resort has already thought of that. Book the kids in to a Junior Eco Ranger session. They run every Saturday night, so while the kids go wild outside, you and your baby-daddy can pour a top-up and enjoy some quality alone time.

Don’t take our word for it though – here’s what our fave Insta-mamas have had to say about taking their fam-bams to Kingfisher Bay Resort.
