About King Island

King Island sits in the middle of Bass Strait between Tasmania and mainland Australia and is one of the country's most spectacular hidden gems.

Famous for its world-class cheese, premium beef and fresh seafood, the island is also home to dramatic coastlines, rugged cliffs, pristine beaches, fascinating shipwreck history and Australia's tallest lighthouse at Cape Wickham.

With a population of just over 1,500 people, King Island offers a slower pace of life, friendly locals and landscapes that feel untouched by time. It's a place where rolling green farmland meets wild ocean, where Little Penguins return to shore each evening, and where every turn reveals another breathtaking view.

If you love nature, local food, history and discovering destinations that are a little off the beaten track, you'll fall in love with King Island.
