Kangaroo Island is South Australia’s crown jewel — a place where rugged coastlines, pristine beaches, and incredible wildlife meet boutique food and wine experiences. Just a short trip from Adelaide, it feels like another world entirely.
With two days to explore, our All-Inclusive Boutique Kangaroo Island Tour from Adelaide gives you the time and space to enjoy the island’s highlights at a relaxed pace. Here’s exactly what you can expect.
Day 1: Explore the East & South Coast
Your journey begins early, with pickup from your Adelaide accommodation at 6:30 AM. After a scenic drive through the Fleurieu Peninsula, you’ll board the SeaLink ferry at Cape Jervis for the crossing to Kangaroo Island.
The first day showcases the island’s eastern treasures:
Frenchman’s Rock and Cape Willoughby Lighthouse – Learn about Kangaroo Island’s history and take in sweeping views on a private guided lighthouse tour.
False Cape Wines – Enjoy a tasting flight paired with a deluxe platter at one of the island’s finest cellar doors.
Emu Ridge Eucalyptus Distillery – Discover how eucalyptus oil is made, with time to browse local products.
Seal Bay Conservation Park – Walk with a private guide among endangered Australian sea lions, an unforgettable wildlife experience.
The day ends with a 2-course dinner and a comfortable overnight stay at a local hotel, where you can unwind and reflect on your first day of island adventures.
Day 2: West Coast Wonders & Wildlife
After breakfast at the hotel restaurant, day two takes you deeper into Kangaroo Island’s wild west coast.
Kangaroo Island Wildlife Park – Feed kangaroos and meet iconic Australian animals up close.
Flinders Chase National Park – Visit the dramatic Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch, home to a colony of New Zealand fur seals.
The Rocks Café – Enjoy a hearty lunch at the Flinders Chase Visitor Centre.
Kingscote and Island Beehive – Stop in the island’s main town and taste honey from the world’s only pure-bred Ligurian bees.
Your adventure wraps up with a 2-course dinner at the Penneshaw Pub before boarding the ferry for your return to Adelaide, arriving back around 10:30 PM.

Why Choose a Guided 2-Day Tour?
Kangaroo Island looks small on a map, but driving distances are longer than expected, and local wildlife can make the roads tricky at dawn and dusk. A guided two-day tour means you don’t need to worry about logistics, accommodation, or ferry bookings — everything is taken care of.
With a small group size and expert local guides, you’ll also get insights, stories, and hidden gems that make your experience truly unique.
Make Kangaroo Island Part of Your Adelaide Journey
If you’re visiting South Australia, a Kangaroo Island tour is an experience you can’t miss. Two days gives you the perfect balance — enough time to explore the highlights, taste the island’s produce, and connect with its wildlife, without ever feeling rushed.
