King Island Tasmania Activities

Kings Island
Western guardian of Bass Strait, King Island has wonderful beach walks on its wild western coastlines, seabird and waterbird observation, great fishing and diving on offshore reef and wrecks, not to mention sampling the island’s world famous produce, including tender grass-fed beef, succulent crayfish and superb cheeses. Near Currie, explore British Admiral Beach, watch the kelp harvesters at work on the rocky coast, play a round of golf on the seaside links and visit Hydro Tasmania’s windfarm; on the east coast, watch penguins come ashore to their rookery on the Grassy harbour breakwater and walk the length of Naracoopa Beach. In the far north, see Cape Wickham Lighthouse and observe waterbirds at Lavinia Nature Reserve. In the south, take a cruise to see the Reid Rocks seal colony and walk to the calcified forest to see the skeletons of ancient sand-convered trees. There’s wide choice of accommodation on the island and car hire is available. Regional airlines fly to King Island from Launceston, Devonport and Wynyard.
