Or drive, rental car's are available or you can catch a bus from Brisbane (it's a long drive but there are some great kitesurfing destinations along the way).

You either have to do a day trip here on a boat, or charter a yacht to get here. Well worth it. A must for every kiter. If you don't get wind you'll love the postcard views.
