Birds on King Island
Birds on King Island. 10,000 years in the making.
Once a land bridge between Tasmania and mainland Australia, mother nature has created a stepping stone of uniqueness in the bird world, showcasing different birds from different states. We have 200 species of birds recorded and 10 out of the 12 endemic birds of Tasmania here on King Island.
Your guide will meet you on arrival at the airport. Over the next three days you will explore pristine sweeping beaches and rocky outcrops, discovering the shore birds of King Island.
Our waterways are diverse and rich in birdlife. Lakes, rivers, lagoons and marshes give us a great cross-section of bird life.
We will travel over open farmland. Having no foxes or dingoes gives us a great opportunity to photograph flocks of peacocks, turkeys, Cape Barren and grey-legged geese, shell ducks and lots of cattle. And we won’t leave out the forest birds either.
King Island Tours would love to welcome you to our backyard, and introduce you to the birds on King Island.
This birding tour includes
- Three days fully guided touring in purpose-built all-terrain vehicles
