Drive to Walkers Lookout for sunrise over the Darling Range or take an early morning beach walk near Whitemark. In Whitemark take a stroll along the Bluff Fitness Track to allow an hour for the easy coastal walk. Or drive just north of the town and take Bluff Road to view the birdlife in this tidal salt marsh. Continuing north, stop in at Long Point or Sawyers Bay beaches before making your way to the coastal townships of Emita and Settlement Point. Spend time at the historic site of Wybalenna. Picnic and discover the secluded coves and sandy beaches at Allports, Emita and Lillies. With safe swimming and crystal clear waters they are all ideal for snorkeling. Call into the Furneaux Museum in the afternoon (check opening days). Do the coastal walk to Castle Rock from Allports Beach to Marshall Bay. On dusk head to the Shearwater viewing Platform near Port Davies and watch mutton birds return to their burrows to feed their young chicks. Return to Whitemark via Walkers Lookout – magnificent sunset colours along the face of the Darling Range and looking back towards Mt Strzelecki. Remember to wave at passing motorists.

Flinders Island, located in the Bass Strait, is a sanctuary of natural beauty and rugged landscapes. It features pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, dramatic granite peaks and lush hills. The Island's terrain is reminiscent of Scotland's; it is wild and woolly! Much of the region is still precisely as Matthew Flinders found it when he first explored this area over 200 years ago. The Island's historical past is sometimes dark but compelling with its cultural sites, notably Wybalenna, a historic Aboriginal settlement, and the Furneaux Museum. Join us on a full three-day tour with expert guides and explore its beauty and wonder.
