The Furneaux Group is home to some of Australia’s most breath-taking coastline, where granite mountains rise above quiet forests and sweep down to pristine, sandy beaches. The best way to immerse yourself in this wild and varied landscape is on foot.

Flinders Island offers walks to suit every pace — from gentle shoreline strolls to full-day hikes and multi-day adventures. Wander along one of 120 untouched beaches, where your footprints may be the only ones, or keep an eye out for delicate Paper Nautilus shells that wash ashore between March and June.

For something shorter, take the scenic loop at Trousers Point or discover the dramatic windswept rock formations at Fotheringate Bay. For those seeking a bigger challenge, the climb to the summit of Strzelecki Peaks — the island’s highest point — rewards you with sweeping, unforgettable views across land and sea.
