King Island Escape

A 9.00 am departure from Moorabbin Airport to King Island will get you a fantastic view of the heads of Port Phillip Bay as you fly across Bass Strait.

Your 4WD will be waiting to take you on your island exploration. Head north to its furthest point, Cape Wickham, where the tallest lighthouse in the southern hemisphere stands. Nearby are Cape Wickham Golf Links, rated as one of the top links courses in the world. Before heading to Grassy, visit the unique Kelp Craft and Penny's Lagoon.

Cap off the day with a fine dining experience at the incredible Wild Harvest Restaurant.

2 nights: King Island Wilderness Retreat

Your day starts with the 4WD Hidden Southern Experience, where you'll discover bays and coves not generally seen by visitors, traversing private property and sometimes going off-road.

Get your camera out for the dramatic Seal Rocks. Visit the 7,000-year-old Calcified Forest, where a short walk will work up an appetite for a white tablecloth paddock-to-plate lunch.

Set the rest of the afternoon to relax mode, with visits to more local sites.

Later, Wild Harvest Restaurant will delight you with their signature five-course degustation with matching wines.

Head to the picturesque hamlet of Naracoopa, then to the island's western side with a stop at the kelp factory. Continue to British Admiral Beach with its tragic shipwreck history, the local museum, and then finish with cheeses from the famous King Island Dairy.

Late afternoon, take a stunning scenic flight over the 12 Apostles en route to Moorabbin, arriving in the early evening. This concludes a most picturesque and delicious long weekend on King Island.
