King Island Walks

Overview

King Island - Wild, Remote and Wonderfully Unspoiled.

Step away from the everyday and discover King Island, a wild and windswept place shaped by the Roaring Forties and surrounded by the Southern Ocean.

Here, you can breathe some of the cleanest air in the world, explore dramatic coastlines, and experience the rugged beauty of an island that remains refreshingly unspoiled.

King Island Walks offers more than just a walk. Their guided experiences bring the island’s stories, wildlife and landscapes to life, from haunting shipwrecks and rich coastal environments to the resilience, creativity and character of the local community.

Join in for a guided walk along the island’s spectacular coastline, step inside the historic Currie Lighthouse on a guided tour, or experience some of King Island’s most memorable wildlife encounters with the Platypus and Little Penguin Experiences.

Whether you are an experienced walker, a casual wanderer, a history lover or a nature enthusiast, King Island offers space to slow down, reconnect and escape the distractions of everyday life.

Come for the scenery. Stay for the stories. Leave with a deeper connection to one of Australia’s most remarkable island destinations.
