King Island Feast (1 day)

Half way between the mainlands of Tasmania and Australia in Bass Strait, King Island beckons visitors with the promise of rugged beauty, wilderness, adventure, history, stunning views and incredible fresh produce.  King Island Feast offers a decadent taste of this quiet and easy-going island for a special day out.

Departing Moorabbin at 8.00am, fly over the heads of Port Phillip Bay and south to King Island, 250km off the north-west coast of Tasmania.

Local hosts, chef and tour guides, Ian and Lucinda, will meet you in a purpose-built 4WD vehicle to share their knowledge of the flora, history and, most importantly, produce of King Island. 

A short drive takes you to one of King Island’s most beautiful beaches for morning tea watching the waves rolling in. Wander around the coastline to forage for garnishes for lunch.

Hit the country road for a visit to quaint, pretty Naracoopa and enjoy a glass of wine on the peaceful foreshore.

Then, the highlight of the day, a taste of King Island at the wonderful Wild Harvest restaurant.  Ocean to table, paddock to plate, the Wild Harvest menu focuses on local, seasonal delicacies.  Chef Ian will introduce each course of the indulgent five course feast with matched wines,.

One final stop before flying home is at the iconic King Island Dairy to sample some cheese (if you can fit it in!) and make a purchase to bring a little bit of King Island back home.

As a grand  finale to the day, (weather dependent) enjoy a spectacular scenic flight over the famous 12 Apostles on the Great Ocean Road before arriving back in Melbourne at 6.00pm. 

Birthdays, anniversaries, family gatherings, old friend catch-ups – whatever your reason for celebrating, as with all Kirkhope Aviation tours, King Island Feast is available as a charter for your small group. Contact us for prices and availability.
