TT-Line Tasmania’s ferries Spirit Of Tasmania I and Spirit Of Tasmania II travel from Port Melbourne to Devonport. Visiting Tasmania by sea is a very economic and often a more pleasurable way to venture across Bass Strait, especially given you can bring your car, campervan, motorhome, 4WD, bike, or motorcycle at affordable prices. During the summer months, the Spirit Of Tasmania increases the number of sailings it has to and from Tasmania. Airlines flying to King and Flinders Islands are Sharp Airlines, regular services to Flinders Island from Launceston & Hobart, and Essendon Airport. King Island Airlines, specialises in flights to King Island, from Moorabbin Airport in Melbourne Victoria. TasAir is Tassie’s regional airline servicing King Island from both Devonport and Burnie.
