3 Day Kangaroo Island Tour


Day 1 (L)

You will be collected from your Adelaide hotel at 7am this morning for your 3 day 4WD tour to Kangaroo Island.

We drive south to Cape Jervis where we catch the ferry to Kangaroo Island, an unspoiled island wilderness with over 500km’s of coastline, an interesting maritime history and a variety of wildlife including sea-lions, fur seals, koalas, platypus and of course, kangaroos. It’s the 3rd largest island in Australia and a third of the island is protected as National Park and Conservation Park.

The ferry crosses the Backstairs Passage, arriving in Penneshaw approximately 45 minutes later.

We continue out tCape Willoughby Lighthouse, Kangaroo Islando Cape Willoughby on the far eastern side of the island andoffering fabulous 360-degree views of the rugged coastline and the ever-changing seas of Backstairs Passage. Cape Willoughby Lighthouse was the first lighthouse built in South Australia and here we take a ranger led tour, where we can walk to the top of the lighthouse and hear stories about living and working in such a harsh environment.

We head west and after lunch, you'll take a ranger led tour at Seal Bay Conservation Park, home to the 3rd largest colony of the rare Australian Sea-lion with a population of around 1000. We are privileged to be able to take a walking tour along the beach, where we can watch them resting, playing and nursing their pups.  

We now travel to our accommodation at American River. The hotel is located across from the foreshore and wildlife is often seen here including wallabies, kangaroos, echidna and sometimes koalas. The hotel also offers a free, self guided nocturnal walk which is another opportunity to spot wildlife.

Day 2 (B L)

We'll explore Flinders Chase National Park this morning, which takes up a large portion of the western side of the island and is home to the elusive platypus, koalas and a host of other wildlife. En-route we have a leg stretch at the beautiful Vivonne Bay.

The park features 74,000 hectares (200,000 acres) of natural bush land and spectacular rock formations, such as Admiral's Arch and Remarkable Rocks, which are wind-sculpted rock formations that sit atop a smooth granite dome. New ZealaRemarkable rocks on Kangaroo Islandnd fur-seals breed at Cape du Couedic andwe can watch their antics from the boardwalk at Admirals Arch.

We continue to the Hanson Bay Sanctuary, where you'll take a guided tour along an avenue of shady Eucalyptus trees called “Koala Walk”. This the best place on the island to see Koalas in their natural habitat.

After lunch we head to the north of the island and out to Stokes Bay, where a walk through the cliffs reveals a beautiful white sandy beach with a lovely rockpool.

Depending on time and your preference, we can take the north coast road to Emu Bay or visit Island Pure Sheep Diary. on the way to Kingscote. Once we reach Kingscote, we take a look around the wharf and hopefully spot some pelicans.
