How to prepare for your journey

Reaching Flinders Island is part of the adventure. A journey across the Bass Strait to one of Australia’s most remote and breathtaking island destinations. Despite its wild remote beauty, travelling here is surprisingly straightforward, with regular flights operating from Essendon, Victoria and Launceston, Tasmania.
