Bass Strait Islands (4 Days)

Flinders Island, located in Bass Strait, is a sanctuary of natural beauty and rugged landscapes. It features pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, dramatic granite peaks and lush hills. The island's terrain is reminiscent of Scotland's; it is wild and woolly! Much of the region is still precisely as Matthew Flinders found it when he first explored this area over 200 years ago. The island's historical past is sometimes dark but compelling with its cultural sites, notably Wybalenna, a historic Aboriginal settlement, and the Furneaux Museum. Join us on a full three-day tour with expert guides and explore its beauty and wonder.
