DAY 2

RUGGED BEAUTY OF KING ISLAND TUESDAY 10TH MARCH
We begin our day driving along the scenic rugged southwest coast, in our off-road 4x4 vehicle. Visit the site of Australia’s worst peacetime maritime disaster. In 1845, 400 people on a British emigrant ship, the Cataraqui, lost their lives. Continue travelling over the dunes of the Bowling property, a seventh-generation farming family (where King Island Tours has exclusive access). Morning tea is in a spectacular location. We head towards Surprise Bay Gourmet Lunch awaits us, featuring the best of King Island produce with matched wines. After our delightful lunch, we continue our journey and see the unique 7000-year-old calcified forest and amazing views from Seal Rocks. Dinner tonight is at Australia’s award-winning restaurant, Wild Harvest, followed by storytelling with the Nocturnal Penguin Experience.

DAY 3

NATURES ARCHITECTURE WEDNESDAY 11TH MARCH
Today we travel to the northern part of King Island for morning tea at Reekara, with local arts and kelp craft made exclusively by local people. Overlooking the two islands - Christmas and New Years Island - is Quarantine Bay. With a fascinating history, we’ll learn how King Island was named. Our next stop is Egg Lagoon whose name is believed to come from the finding of a large number of goose eggs in the area. Not too far away is Martha Lavinia, known as a world class beach break. Perfect ‘A-frame’ waves are formed by swell wrapping around both sides of the island and it is a truly unique natural wonder of the Australian surf scene. While in the area we stop at Penny’s Lagoon, a natural phenomenon with its suspended freshwater lake (one of only three in the world). From this point we continue our journey to Cape Wickham Lighthouse, the southern hemisphere’s tallest lighthouse. We might even watch a hole in one as the lighthouse overlooks the famous golf course. A picnic lunch follows. Our final stop for the day is the King Island Dairy for a tasting of its award-winning cheese, including a free gift voucher to use in store. King Island Dairy is an Australian dairy factory, which has been operated from King Island since 1902. We conclude our day with dinner at one of the islands restaurants where we continue the gourmet trail.
