About This Tour

Australia's Great Island Secret

King Island sits in the middle of Bass Strait — remote, wild, and entirely its own world. It's famous the world over for its dairy, beef, and seafood, but it's also home to some of Australia's most dramatic coastal scenery: towering lighthouses, white sand beaches, crashing Southern Ocean surf, and sweeping farmland stretching to the horizon.

This three-day escape takes a small group of travellers inside the island's best experiences — from a private guided tasting at King Island Dairy to coffee at one of the world's great golf courses, gin and whisky at the local distillery, farm visits with producers, and remote beaches most Australians never reach.

Everything is included — flights, accommodation, all meals, every entry fee and tasting, and a professional local guide who knows every corner of the island. You simply arrive at Melbourne Airport.
