Welcome to our 2 day Kangaroo Island In Style tour itinerary.
Day 1 – Island Life
Today, we’ll get a feel for Island Life – where things take time, drivers wave as they go by – or even stop for a chat.
Have a cuppa with some home-made treats before taking a walk down a country track through tall Eucalyptus trees where koalas snooze overhead or wake briefly for a feed. Listen for the sounds of the bush – brightly coloured honeyeaters and brilliant parrots, cicadas or perhaps just the sound of silence.
Travel through the Island’s most productive country to the north coast. Walk through the bush with your guide – through strangely shaped trees learning what makes that noise, whose tracks are those, and who left THAT little pile there? Look for small wallabies almost extinct on the mainland, a kangaroo found only on Kangaroo Island and a variety of other birds, plants and animals.
Break for lunch at a private bush camp and enjoy a delicious meal featuring King George whiting (local sea fish), fresh salads and fine South Australian wines.
At Seal Bay Conservation Park take a private tour with your guide among Australian sea-lions on a beautiful sandy beach – an experience similar to that of the Galapagos. Watch pups nursing or playing in the surf, see old bulls bearing the scars of territorial disputes and learn about their unique breeding biology.
Day 2 – Flinders Chase Focus
Begin your day travelling along Kangaroo Island’s south coast, watching as the landscape transforms from productive farmland into a wild, pristine wilderness as you venture west.
Your guide will introduce you to the unique island ecology, sharing insights into the resilient native flora and the fascinating natural cycles that allow this vibrant ecosystem to thrive.
If time permits, stop into Vivonne Bay, a spectacular bay home to the island’s southern fishing fleet. Break for a cuppa and some home-made treats.
Enter the expansive wilderness of Flinders Chase National Park and explore the massive, weathered shapes of Remarkable Rocks – a collection of natural granite sculptures perched impossibly atop a dome plunging into the Southern Ocean.
Break for an elegant picnic lunch in the shelter of the bush, or if weather permits, on a spectacular clifftop. Lunch features marinated poached chicken, fresh salads, and local cheeses, accompanied by premium local wine, beer, soft drinks, and spring water.
Evidence of the power of the Southern Ocean swell continues at Admirals Arch. This dramatic coastal grotto provides a sheltered haul-out for a large colony of Australian Fur Seals and Long-nosed Fur Seals, whom you can watch swimming effortlessly through the crashing waves.
