Overnight Kangaroo Island Wildlife Adventure from Adelaide
Adelaide, Australia
Enjoy a 2 day all-inclusive Kangaroo Island Tour. Just few hours away from Adelaide, your breathe will be taken away by the beauty of the island, the abundance of wildlife and get ready for the adventure pack: hiking through Flinders Chase National Park, Sand boarding in Little Sahara and much more!
From your comfortable minibus you’ll appreciate the fantastic coastal views as you head towards Kangaroo Island along the Fleurieu Peninsula. After driving for 90 minutes, hop aboard the massive ferry for the 45-minute cruise to the picturesque beachside village of Penneshaw, where you can stock up on supplies.
The first stop is Prospect Hill, where a moderately easy climb offers magnificent 360-degree views of Australia’s third-largest island.
The highlight for many is the guided tour along the pure-white beach of Seal Bay, where you can walk within metres of countless Australian Sea Lions snoozing on the sand or frolicking in the surf. Or maybe your favorite part will be the 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.
The dormitory style accommodation is located within a farm on the edge of the national park. After a huge Aussie barbecue dinner, we sit around the campfire swapping stories, playing didgeridoos and maybe, spotting wildlife, such as kangaroos and possums.
After breakfast on day 2, your wildlife adventure continues! In the cooler morning weather, you can hike one of the many walking trails on the island where you can watch kangaroos hopping about the bush, koalas nesting in their favorite gum trees and possibly, spot a shy echidna shuffling past. In the summer months, 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.
The action packed afternoon starts with sand-boarding down the Little Sahara dunes. Enjoy a leisurely paddle in kayaks along the Harriet River, but if you do crave something more adventurous, quad-biking along rocky paths through dense scrub is an optional extra.
From Penneshaw, take the ferry to Cape Jervis for the short drive back to Adelaide to arrive at around 8:30pm.
Kangaroo Island is beautiful and even though it's pricey it should be a must on your Australia visit. My highlights were Seal Bay, Remarkable Rocks, Admiral's Arch, stargazing and the night walk. Accommodation was basic but good. I felt as on Sunday afternoon there was no proper program and we were just wasting time until we could catch the ferry back to Adelaide.

Great trip, well organised with plenty of time for activities, Didn't feel rushed at all but fitted plenty in. Did all the general touristy things as well as Sandboarding/Kayaking/ fabulous walk to Snake Lagoon. Food was very good and well thought out. Really helpful tour guide, knowledgeable and approachable. Thanks for the flexible drop off._br/_ Many thanks_br/_ Clover and Hazel

Loved this tour! Kangaroo island is really, really pretty and has amazing beaches! The wildlife we saw plenty of kangaroos, lots of seals, and some koalas were a good plus. Spending the night so far from any cities gave an excellent view on the stars, and the amazing rock formations remarkable rocks, admiral's arch were quite impressive. The tour guide always tried to make our days as much matching to our wishes as possible, and squeezed in a couple of extra stops along the way. He even got us onto the bridge of the ferry on the way back! Loved the group as well, and met a lot of nice people along the way. Highly recommended!!
