OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW
The Flinders Island Highlights walk includes the 3 must-do walks on the island. This is a destination where photos can never do it justice. Enjoy the stunning serenity of this beautiful island, where you’re likely to have the pristine sandy beaches to yourself.
The Flinders Island walks are so impressive and so breathtakingly gorgeous it’s a wonder that this place remains so unknown. The coastline is punctuated by the red lichen-covered boulders that have made the Bay of Fires famous, but on Flinders Island there are considerably more of them.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Hike to the top of the tallest peak on the island, Mt Strzelecki
- Enjoy boulder hopping and beach walking to Castle Rock
- Stunning coastline walk via magnificent windswept carved rock
- The azure blue water for swimmers at Stacky’s Bight
- Stay in comfort on Flinders Island farms and be treated with delicious local produce
ITINERARY
DAY one
FLINDERS ISLAND: SHORT WALKS NEAR MNT STRZELECKI
This Flinders Island tour commences on Flinders Island where you’ll be met at the airport. Flights to the island leave from Essendon (near Melbourne airport) or Launceston (in Tasmania) via Sharp Airlines. For flight information visit sharpairlines.com or phone 1300 55 66 94
As you approach the rugged Furneaux Group of islands, Flinders Island looks like a motley collection of jumbled mountains jutting out of the sea. It’s 75 km long and 40 km wide with a population of only 900 people. As well as tall peaks, sea cliffs and idyllic coves, much of the central part of the island is covered in lush green farmland and glorious national parks.
This afternoon, we will endeavour to do a short walk at Trousers Point to get acquainted with the island. This is a spectacular headland walk with outstanding views of the mountains.
Walks: Easy / 4 km / 1.5 hr
Meals: Two-course dinner
Accommodation: Private retreat on land overlooking Trousers Point and Mount Strzelecki
DAY two
MNT STRZELECKI WALK
The highlight for many will be the challenging ascent of Mt Strzelecki, named after Sir Paul Edmund de Strzelecki who explored many parts of Australia in the 1800s. He’s well known for naming and being the first European to climb Mt Kosciuszko – Australia’s highest mountain. The track climbs up through the rugged Fotheringate Creek Valley where there are waterfalls and a delightful fern gully. As you climb higher the vegetation changes to subalpine and finally you reach the bouldery summit. At 756 metres, you are on the highest point on the island. We can swap this walk for a less arduous walk from Wybalenna to Castle Rock if you wish.
Walks: Moderate to challenging / 6 km / 5-6 hrs / shorter easier option available
Meals: Breakfast, walkers lunch and 2-course dinner
Accommodation: Private retreat on land overlooking Trousers Point and Mount Strzelecki
DAY three
WYBALENNA AND CASTLE ROCK
On today’s Flinders Island walk we’ll start the walk at the historic Settlement Point area on the west coast of the island.
The walking starts at picturesque Sawyers Bay, with some boulder hopping and beach walking. A historic jetty with a magnificent backdrop of the Strzelecki Ranges will have cameras working overtime. We go hiking across the peninsula then along the beach to Castle Rock, a massive granite boulder standing over 15 metres high. After the walk, you will be transferred to your new accommodation at the other end of the island
Walks: Easy to moderate / 12 km / 4- 5 hrs
Meals: Breakfast, walkers lunch and two-course dinner
Accommodation: A stunning cabin near Killiecrankie
DAY four
MNT KILLIECRANKIE, KILLIECRANKIE BEACH VIA STACKY'S BIGHT
This is possibly the best hike on the island according to the locals. The walk hugs the stunning coast via rocky outcrops and magnificent windswept carved rocks before making its way inland. There’s an option to climb Mount Killiecrankie before dropping down to The Dock and the sleepy fishing settlement of Killiecrankie where we can search for white topaz stones the locals call Killiecrankie diamonds. Orange lichen decorates the granite boulders and the azure blue water beckons swimmers at Stacky’s Bight.
Walks: Moderate / 10 km / 5-6 hrs / shorter option available
Meals: Breakfast, walkers lunch and a two-course dinner
Accommodation: A stunning cabin near Killiecrankie

General Info
The island is 75km long and 40km wide. It sits in the middle of Bass Strait and is accessible by plane from either Melbourne or Launceston in Tasmania. We will meet you at the airport on the island on the first day and return you on the last day in plenty of time to catch your flight.
The tracks on the Flinders Island walks vary in quality but all are easily navigable. There are well-formed tracks and sections. Hike your way along rocky shorelines and sandy beaches. There are some opportunities for fit walkers to challenge themselves but the main walks are all easy to moderate, with the only exception being Mt Strzelecki. This trip operates with the support of our on island guides and transport company who work for Auswalk. They can add to your experience by offering more walking options if you need them or by varying walks in order to shorten them or even swap them around to cater for the weather.
For what to bring please refer to Gear Advice on our FAQ section.
HOW TO GET THERE AND AWAY
The trip starts and ends at Flinders Island airport near Whitemark where you’ll be met. Flights to the island leave from Essendon (near Melbourne airport) or Launceston (in Tasmania) via Sharp Airlines. For flight information visit sharpairlines.com
WEATHER
Flinders Island has a temperate coastal climate that is suitable for walking at every time of the year except the winter months. Summer weather is mild compared with most of Australia, and winters never have frost. No wonder locals wouldn’t live anywhere else.
See the Bureau of Meteorology for information about temperatures and rainfall ahead of time to ensure proper clothing.
INSURANCE
We require that you have adequate travel insurance against potential losses, damage or injury, including cancellation costs and loss of luggage.
For all trips that require international travel, you must have purchased travel insurance that also includes medical evacuation coverage.
We also charge a cancellation fee if you cancel your walking holiday after we have confirmed it to cover costs incurred from our suppliers and in the office. See the FAQ section for more information.
INFORMATION PACK
For nearly 30 years we have taken pride in providing seamlessly organised walking holidays, but we know, even with that in mind, that you’ll have many more questions. You will receive a very detailed information pack and itinerary approximately 6 weeks out from departure outlining all the fine detail and much more.

25 March, 2025 at 1:46 AM The scenery was beautiful and the diversity of the walks made each day different which was great. Including a visit to a wombat rescue place, winery and museum added to the experience. Eating at local places was a great idea – good for the local economy – and GREAT for the walkers as the food was exceptional. My Flinders Island experience was filled with great walking, exceptional food and interesting experiences.
