A winning combination: Farm Tour, Platypus Experience, Dinner, Little Penguin Experience.

Tour Overview

This experience begins with a guided visit to one of King Island’s premium Angus beef farms, including the opportunity to meet the farmer and learn about life on the land.

Later in the afternoon, enjoy a short but steep walk to a serene natural setting where, with a bit of luck and patience, you may spot wild platypuses in their natural habitat.

As dusk falls, the tour continues to a nearby Little Penguin colony, where you’ll have the chance to witness these charming seabirds return from a day at sea. This magical encounter is accompanied by a BBQ dinner featuring delicious King Island produce, including both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

Please Note:
The platypus walk includes a short but steep and uneven trail. This part of the tour is suitable only for participants with a good level of mobility.

Tour dates are available on request.
