Take a walk on the wild side! Walking King Island is so much more than a hike. Each guided experience unlocks the island’s rich and unique stories.

Whether you’re an experienced trekker or you just like to scroll, walking King Island’s coastline grants you the time and space to be fully present, appreciating the solitude and relinquishing your worries and stresses from ‘away’.
