NOVEMBER 17, 2009 - A visit to the Great Barrier Reef and World Heritage-listed Fraser Island is a must-do on any East Coast Australian itinerary - and visiting is made even easier with a Reef & Rainforest four night accommodation and eco-activity package.

The joint package, released by Kingfisher Bay Resort - Fraser Island and Lady Elliot Eco Resort starts from $1147.76* per person and includes: return scenic 35-minute flight from Hervey Bay (Fraser Coast) to Lady Elliot Island; 2 nights in a Reef View Room at Lady Elliot Island; 2 nights in a Resort Hotel Room at Kingfisher Bay Resort; return ferry transfers from Hervey Bay to Fraser Island; Return airport transfers to/from Hervey Bay; 4 x buffet breakfasts; 2 x buffet dinners at Lady Elliot Island; Snorkel and glass-bottomed boat tour and nature talks at Lady Elliot; Ranger-guided Fraser Island Day Tour and resort nature walks and talks.

The package also includes National Park Fees on Fraser Island, an Environmental Management charge on Lady Elliot and options for additional scuba diving and Ranger guided activities.

Kingfisher Bay Resort's International Sales and Marketing Manager, Stephanie Siebert, said the Reef and Rainforest experience - with two-night stays at Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort and Kingfisher Bay Resort on Fraser Island - was perfect for international travellers.

“Reef and Rainforests allows our international visitors to experience two iconic Australian destinations out of one location, indulge in some fantastic eco activities and all at a really affordable price,” she said.

LADY ELLIOT ISLAND
Lady Elliot, at the start of the Great Barrier Reef, is a haven for experienced divers, hobby snorkellers and visitors with an affinity for the great outdoors and amazing marine life.

Year round visitors can encounter turtles, dolphins and a great variety of fish, coral and other marine life, whilst in season visitors can come up close to birds nesting, turtle hatchlings and migrating humpback whales.

There is direct flight access from Hervey Bay (Fraser Coast) onto Lady Elliot Island, which is most famous for its coral gardens and population of Manta Rays.

FRASER ISLAND
This World Heritage-listed island lies off the Queensland coast, at the start of the Great Barrier Reef. And Kingfisher Bay Resort is just the place to combine breath-taking scenery and four-wheel-driving adventure with a holiday pampering.

The award-winning resort is a fully-integrated ecotourism getaway, designed to whet the appetite for natural adventures. The typical Queenslander-style hotel rooms are linked by timber walkways that meander through the bush. Bright, modern rooms have large private decks with bush, sea or lake views.

Guests can take part in numerous island and resort-based activities, all of which are based around the natural beauty of the destination and are generally hosted by Kingfisher's interpretive rangers, and or they can just chill out by the pool or on the beach.

Fraser Island is just offshore from Hervey Bay, home to the region's whale watching fleet and access is hassle free. Virgin Blue operates direct jet services daily from Sydney, with other major city connections. QantasLink also operates daily from Brisbane.
