Manta Ray Barge

Manta Ray Barge is a locally-run ferry service that takes travellers to and from Fraser Island at affordable rates.

They are best known for their reliable and professional service in shipping vehicles to and from Fraser Island. This way, visitors can save money on car rental costs while still being able to independently enjoy the sights around the island.

Their office is based in Rainbow Beach and from here you can already obtain your camping and visitor permits too.

While there are many other ferry services that take visitors to and from Fraser Island, Manta Ray Barge is preferred by many because they’re more affordable. They also have several departure and arrival times throughout the day, making it easy to plan your trip especially if you have a busy tour schedule.

Bringing your own vehicle to Fraser Island is recommended though it isn’t possible to drive there because there’s no bridge. This island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a popular tourist destination especially for people who love beautiful surroundings and adventure. Keep in mind that the tracks and roads on Fraser Island are mostly made of sand, though four-wheel-drive vehicles are allowed. On the other hand, if you don’t bring your own vehicle through a ferry service, you can join in a tour that allow you to drive 4WD cars on the island since two-wheel drive vehicles are not permitted.

If you decide to take the barge service, remember that departure times are impacted by the tides. Every service has its own check-in procedures to be sure to read up before you leave for the ferry.

Manta Ray Barge is one of the best ferry services, so be sure to check it out.
