See the highlights of South Australia’s premier nature-based tourism destination, Kangaroo Island. From Remarkable Rocks to playful fur seals, SeaLink guides will take you to Kangaroo Island’s natural highlights.
Tour Highlights
1. Seal Bay Conservation Park (beach walk amongst the Australian sea lions)
Seal Bay is the home of the Australian sea lion and the third largest breeding colony in Australia. You will have the opportunity to see these creatures close-up, swimming in the surf or basking in the sand. Seal Bay is a conservation park and you will be taken down onto the beach by a Parks Interpretative Officer. Take your camera with you, as this is a unique opportunity to walk on the beach with these animals.
2. Vivonne Bay Bistro (lunch)
Enjoy a delicious two-course lunch (main and dessert) at Vivonne Bay Bistro, located on the south coast of Kangaroo Island.
3. Flinders Chase National Park
Spend the afternoon in the Flinders Chase National Park, which was devastated by the worst fire to ever hit the island in January 2020. You’ll see that the regeneration of the native bush occurs so quickly after the event and there will be many opportunities to take photos. As you travel through the park, keep an eye out for echidnas, wallabies, reptiles, and koalas.
4. Remarkable Rocks
Remarkable Rocks are a cluster of granite boulders, sculpted by the weather and perched on a granite dome rising steeply from the ocean. You can take a walk around these huge rocks that have been carved into many different weird and wonderful shapes by the wind and the ocean spray over many centuries. Please be very careful and do not go beyond the ‘Danger’ signs. Winds can be very strong and the rocks are slippery when wet.
5. Admirals Arch
A steep, but short walk from Cape du Couedic lighthouse is a spectacular natural Arch formed by erosion from the pounding sea. This area is the breeding ground of a colony of Long-nosed Fur Seals. You will see them frolicking in the water and on the rocks under the Arch. Please take care when walking down to the Arch as the winds can be very strong and the path slippery. Please do
not leave the pathway.
6. Kangaroo Island Wildlife Park (guided tour to see kangaroos and koalas)
The Kangaroo Island Wildlife Park is located in the heartland of Kangaroo Island. Here you will be taken on a short guided tour to walk amongst kangaroos and wallabies where you’ll have the opportunity to hand feed them. You’ll also get up close to the Kangaroo Island koalas while listening to the keeper talk about the cuddly mammals. There is a photo opportunity to hold a koala for an additional cost.

Then enjoy a delicious two-course lunch at Vivonne Bay Bistro, located on the south coast of Kangaroo Island.
Spend some of the afternoons in the Flinders Chase National Park, which was devastated by the worst fire to ever hit the island in January 2020. You’ll see that the regeneration of the native bush occurs so quickly after the event and there will be many opportunities to take photos. As you travel through the park, keep an eye out for echidnas, wallabies, reptiles, and koalas. See the rugged coastline from walks around Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch. Remarkable Rocks provide great photographic opportunities, and the Admirals Arch boardwalk takes you down a rugged cliff face to reveal the spectacular rock archway, a natural nursery and safe haven for playful Long-nosed Fur Seals.
Your last visit of the day is to the Kangaroo Island Wildlife Park to feed some kangaroos and get up close to the Kangaroo Island Koalas while listening to the Keeper talk about the cuddly mammals. There is also a possibility that you will see more kangaroos and wallabies on your return to Penneshaw for your return ferry and coach transfer back to Adelaide.
