Melbourne’s Gooney Bird | King Island Day Trip

Fly back in time and uncover one of Bass Strait’s best-kept secrets on an unforgettable DC-3 day trip to King Island.

Step aboard the iconic “Gooney Bird” and enjoy the charm of Golden Age air travel – spacious interiors, no crowded terminals, and a flight experience like no other. From the moment you check in to the private lounge with champagne in hand, your day is designed to feel special.

Cruising just over an hour from Essendon Fields, you’ll take in breath taking views of Melbourne, Port Phillip Bay, and the open stretch of Bass Strait before landing on the rugged and beautiful King Island. Enjoy a hearty lunch in the seaside township of Currie, followed by a guided coach tour exploring local highlights including the lighthouse, harbour, and the famous King Island Cheese Factory, complete with a private tasting.

This is more than a scenic escape – it’s a vintage aviation adventure paired with exceptional food, natural beauty, and rich island culture.
