SEE DATES & PRICING

Flinders Island, part of Tasmania’s remote Furneaux Group, offers some of the most spectacular and unspoilt walking experiences in Australia. Life’s An Adventure’s Flinders Island Walking Tours are designed to showcase the island’s rugged coastlines, granite mountains, and pristine beaches, all while enjoying the comfort of our signature pack-free style.

Over several days, you’ll explore a variety of landscapes — from the pink-hued slopes of Mt Strzelecki to the sweeping white sands of Trousers Point and the crystal-clear waters of Killiecrankie Bay. The walks are carefully chosen to highlight the island’s unique blend of natural beauty, wildlife, and history. Along the way, you might spot wombats grazing in open fields, seabirds wheeling above the cliffs, or even the shy Bennetts wallaby.

Our tours are fully supported, so you carry only a light day pack while your main luggage is transferred for you. Evenings are spent in handpicked accommodation, enjoying gourmet meals prepared with fresh Tasmanian produce, often featuring local seafood and regional wines.

With small group sizes, expert local guides, and an itinerary that balances activity with relaxation, our Flinders Island Walking Tours offer a rare chance to experience one of Tasmania’s true wilderness gems in comfort and style.
