OVERVIEW
Unearth Australia's third-largest island on an adventure tour from Adelaide. Kangaroo Island, or "nature's playground" as it is commonly known, is famed for its plentiful wildlife, as well as its untamed landscapes, white sandy beaches, and friendly locals. Awaken your senses as you experience moments in nature you will never forget. Visit the icons, such as Flinders Chase National Park and Seal Bay. Ignite your taste buds during honey and wine tasting, and have the opportunity to participate in  National Trust, allowing you to give back during your trip. Take in views of untamed coastlines on magical walks, and keep your eyes peeled for native creatures from the land, sea and sky. Then roll out your swag under the billions of stars of southern skies.
While summer on the island is peak season, the cooler months provide just as much fun and adventure for nature lovers, and in fact, there are lots of benefits when travelling from April to September. Read more about this below in Know Before You Go.

Day 2: Kangaroo Island
After breakfast, it's time for an incredible wildlife encounter. Seal Bay is home to the third-largest colony of endangered Australian sea lions, with around 800 calling the bay home. Join a 45-minute tour with the National Parks & Wildlife guides, who know pretty much everything there is to know about these beautiful creatures. Follow a boardwalk through the dunes down to the beach, and on the way, pass sea lions snoozing or even lying in the middle of the beach path and learn about conservation efforts to save this endangered species.
Next, we'll set our coordinates for the iconic Flinders Chase National Park, located at the northwestern point of the island. This park is renowned for its rock formations, impressive beaches, and abundant wildlife.
At Admirals Arch, wander along a boardwalk as you soak up the serenity and keep your eyes peeled for the resident New Zealand fur seals. Marvel at the Remarkable Rocks, shaped by nature for over 500 million years.

Day 3: Kangaroo Island - Adelaide
Start the final day of your tour with a morning bush walk not far from camp, and after packing up, we'll bid farewell to Happiness. Along the quiet north coast of the island, find spectacular bird life in the shallow, calm waters of the lagoon and in the trees. Here, we will find a spot to have our final meal together, followed by a nice stroll along the water, looking for the many different species that inhabit the American River.
In the warmer months, weave your way through a labyrinth of caves before emerging at the beach voted best in Australia in 2023 - Stokes Bay. If the weather is right, enjoy some free time to snorkel among the rock pools or soak up the surrounding landscape.
This afternoon, have the opportunity to "give back" during a conservation volunteering experience. What we do this afternoon depends on the time of year, but you might find yourself collecting seeds, helping at a not-for-profit wildlife organisation or doing a beach clean-up.
After a fabulous Kangaroo Island tour, arrive in Penneshaw for your 5.30 pm ferry back to the mainland. Once you arrive in Cape Jervis, your SeaLink bus connection will have you back in Adelaide at 9 pm.
