Flinders Island Experience - In Comfort

We pick you up early this morning in Launceston, from one of our two pick up locations. Our first pick up point is at 8:15am from the Grand Chancellor and our second pick up point is at 8:30am at the Penny Royal. You will then be transferred to the Bridport Airport where we embark on our scenic morning flight to Flinders Island. Upon arrival we head to the seaside township of Whitemark where your guides will give a detailed briefing of the week ahead. We then drive north to the small hamlet of Emita. It is here that we begin the first of many wonderful walks by sauntering along the coastline to one of Flinders Island's most famous landmarks: Castle Rock. A myriad of photo opportunities present themselves on the way to this impressive three storey high granite boulder standing sentinel on the magnificent coastline. After a quick transfer we will arrive at our private beachfront Eco-Camp, where you can settle in for the next four days. Walking distance: 3km

Wake up slowly to the sound of nature and take a freshly brewed coffee down to the beach to soak in your pristine surrounds. After a relaxing morning at camp we will drive south to begin today's beach walk at Sawyers Bay. Heading north along the iconic rock and sand of the Flinders Island coastline to Lillies Bay before turning inland to spend time at Wybalenna; the infamous site of the disastrous Indigenous resettlement scheme and the remaining graveyard and chapel. From here we may have the opportunity to visit the fascinating Flinders Island Museum. When we are ready we will head back to our Eco-Camp to relax for the afternoon. Walking distance: 4-5km

Today will start off with a hearty brekkie at camp before we drive a short distance to begin a full day of walking across pristine coastline from the settlement of Killiecrankie through to Stacky's Bight with its intriguing rock formations and breathtaking views across the extensive bay. As we walk keep your eyes out for the infamous Killiecrankie Diamonds. Stopping for lunch we can enjoy a well deserved swim in the crystal clear waters or just enjoy the serenity. The afternoon leg of the journey entails a combination of coastal paths and extensive rock hopping steering us walking toward 'The Docks'. This area is one of Flinders Island's secret gems; spectacular coastal scenery with lichen encrusted granite outcrops in every direction, and magnificent mountain cliffs reaching right down to sea level. Here we will walk a short distance back to our vehicle and head to camp. In the evening your guides will get busy in the kitchen while you relax and reminisce over the wonders of the day's explorations in front of a roaring fire (permits permitting). Walking distance: 7-8km

Our last morning on the magnificent island will be spent exploring Trousers Point, one of Tasmania's Great Short Walks. Marvel at the views up to Mt Strzelecki and enjoy one more chance to wade through the tranquil waters of the island. After a relaxing lunch we will catch our scenic return flight to Bridport and transfer back to Launceston where the trip concludes by dropping you at either the Grand Chancellor or the Penny Royal by approximately 5pm. We recommend booking a night of post tour accommodation in Launceston in case of any flight delays. Walking distance: 6km
