Three Days/Two Nights Discover the Best of Flinders Island Tour

Explore Flinders Island by foot and discover the history and beauty surrounding this island. A couple or a group of up to 16, you can choose the length of your adventure between two and eight days. Special interest group packages to enjoy the birds of Bass Strait, wildflowers in season, wildlife or history can be arranged. Luxury four wheel drive tours will take you off the beaten track to places visitors rarely see. With over 120 beaches and mountains to 756 metres, you can swim in the clear blue water, walk over red granite rocks, fish for your dinner and visit mutton bird rookeries. You may even like to search for the famous 'Killiecrankie diamond,' a type of hard colourless topaz.

From November to March yearly, watch mutton birds return to the islands of the Furneax Group. Also known as short-tailed shearwaters, millions of these birds return from the Northern Hemisphere to nest and raise their young. This tour takes you on 'Strait Lady,' a 10-metre luxury cruiser, out among the off-shore islands. From here, you will have the perfect view of mutton birds coming in. Thousands will return to their nests at dusk with food they have gathered to feed their young.
