Take two days to discover the wildlife of Kangaroo Island from Adelaide. You'll see pelicans, sea lions, koalas and, of course, kangaroos.
An action-packed two days takes you over to Kangaroo Island and exploring Flinders Chase National Park, the Remarkable Rocks and walks in the wilderness of this beautiful island.
You will be picked up from your accommodation in Adelaide and driven through the beautiful South Australian countryside towards the ferry. Here you take the 45-minute crossing and arrive on Kangaroo Island at the picturesque beachside village of Penneshaw. Your first stop will be at Pennington bay for a fantastic photo opportunity on one of the most scenic Kangaroo Island beaches, and who knows, if we are lucky we might spot a few dolphins.
The highlight of day one is the guided tour along the pure-white beach of Seal Bay, where you can walk within meters of countless Australian Sea Lions snoozing on the sand or frolicking in the surf. Then you will drive to Flinders Chase National Park in the far west of the island, which hosts two extraordinary geological features: the Remarkable Rocks and the Admirals Arch, which is also home to a colony of New Zealand Fur Seals. So much wildlife in just one day, if you are lucky you will even spot wallabies back at our farm stay while you have an Aussie BBQ for dinner.
Day two you will take a hike to spot Koalas up in the trees and Kangaroos hopping around during the cool morning. In the summer months, we spend some time swimming and snorkeling in search of the elusive leafy sea dragon which resides off the coast. You can laze about Vivonne Bay, Hanson Bay, Stokes Bay or one of the other superb beach spots with their pristine sand and clear water, or alternatively, you can follow the nearby trail along the beach and river to search for more wildlife.
In the afternoon you will have a go at sandboarding on the Little Sahara dunes. Then we take the ferry back to the mainland to Cape Jervis and dive back to Adelaide. The perfect two days on Kangaroo Island of animals and adventure.
