Walks of King Island
King Island Maritime Trail
The King Island Maritime Trail was opened in 2001 and pays tribute to King Island’s long shipping history. You will find interpretive signage close to the sites of many of the most notable wrecks around our shores. Trail brochures are available on your arrival at the airport and from the Visitor Information Centre.

Calcified Forest
On King Island, the 7000 year old remains of a Calcified Forest is made up of hundreds of strange shaped limestone features. They formed when calcium carbonate adhered to the deep roots of coastal vegetation, and have been exposed when the surrounding sand has blown away.
This easy return walk is about 1.3km long, with the viewing platform over the Calcified Forest at the half-way point. Be sure to take a camera to capture these amazing formations.
