All packages include: 

  • Return private charter flights to King Island.

  • Lodge Accommodation - towels and bedding supplied (not applicable for single day trips).

  • 4WD vehicles supplied (larger groups we will supply 2x 4WD’s).

  • Island & surf map, plus surf forecast advice on where to surf during your trip.

  • Some basic fishing gear, dive gear & spare surfboards (incase) at the lodge.

Our pricing is based on booking the entire aircraft, lodge and vehicles - therefore the cost does NOT change whether there is 1 or 8 people in the group. The more mates you get onboard the cheaper it becomes!


What to expect on your trip:

So your trip will go a little somethin' like this... You'll meet us hopefully on time at the airport.

Before departing we'll discuss the surf forecast for your trip and give you a few handy pointers, weigh your gear, load the plane, crack a beer / sip a latte, and our pilot will do their best impersonation of a Emirates flight attendant delivering the pre-flight safety briefing before we fire-up the jets.

We'll fly over the island, checkout a few surf spots along the way by air before landing. It's here you'll pick up the surf wagons and we say, "Adiós Amigos! We'll be back to pick you up whenever." At this moment you realise you're on your own... after a group hug you get the surf map out and V-line it to that cracking right-hander bank your spotted 5 minutes earlier by air.

Oh yes, your accommodation. We have a number of accommodation options available if requested. However, our standard accomodation built into the package price is a 4 star lodge based in the north of the island between Martha and Phoques beach. Make yourself at home, all bedding and bath towels are provided.

Important flight stuff to note:

You will be flying in our Piper Chieftain Aircraft. The following are important points to note when flying onboard this plane specifically.

  • Total plane weight capacity is 770KG (This includes passengers and their luggage combined).

  • When travelling with the maximum 8 people "generally" maximum boards it can fit is 8 short surfboards no longer than 6’ 2” . For this reason most groups keep the size limited to 6-7 people increasing their surfboard capacity to 10-12 shortboards. The less people the more boards we can take, also we can take longer boards up to 8ft by taking out one seat.

  • We fly during daylight hours only.

  • This plane is a twin engine plane, therefore it's extremely reliable to fly in "nearly" all weather conditions. Fog / low visibility is no go for flying.

  • In the rare case we can't fly this plane we may offer an alternative departure date or time, an route, or refund you.

Other important stuff:

  • 4WD has a $3000 excess for damage.
    See our hire car T&C's here.

  • We recommend you get domestic travel insurance which includes hire car excess - it's super cheap and worth it on a place like King Island.


Booking FAQ's

How do I book?
Easy! Bookings can be made online by selecting one of the travel options above, or you're welcome to contact us directly.  We can take a $500 refundable deposit also if you’d like to lock in some dates now and pay the rest later.
At the end of the online booking process you will be asked to make payment by entering your Credit Card details via our secure Stripe® payment gateway. That's it... You're on your way to getting shacked at King Island. Next we will contact you and send your itinerary, while you count down the days and watch the weather maps.

I just want to lock-in a specific date and pay later? 
We require a 10% deposit or $500 to hold any dates for you with full payment made 5 days prior to departure date. Not this deposit is refundable up to 30 days prior your departure date. Please email us if you’d like this option.

Can I purchase a Gift Card?
Just by thinking of this makes you a genuinely a great person, and your friend/lover will love you forever. YES, we do gift cards - actually they are very popular. We can do gift cards for the full amount or any amount you wish. To purchase Gift Cards and for more information click here.

Why can't I purchase a "single seat" on the plane like other airlines?  
As we are a private charter flight company, our pricing is based on chartering the "entire" aircraft & pilot as a private flight. Australian Aviation Laws prohibit "charter" airline companies from selling "individual seats". Instead Charter flight companies are require to book/sell the flight as a whole/entirety.

What's included in the package price?
EVERYTHING! Well... pretty much. All our packages  include: Return charter flights, accomodation, 4WD, surf maps / advice, dive / fishing gear, cheese plus plenty of other goodies! (Note: Single day trips do not include accommodation)

How much notice do I need to book in advance?
Providing we are not currently booked, we can take a booking as little as 1 day in advance. However, our pilots do live other lives and we can not guarantee they will be available on such short notice. So it is best to give us and our pilots at least a few days notice. For any bookings staying overnight please check our accomodation availability in the calendar below or here.
