Remarkable Rocks on the Kangaroo Island tour from Adelaide

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.

• Little Sahara 4x4 buggy ride – Enjoy a thrilling but safe guided buggy ride through the Aussie bush to spot koalas in the wild and see the vast inland sand dune system.

• View stunning Vivonne Bay from the jetty.

• Flinders Chase National Park – Visit the dramatic Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch, home to a colony of long-nosed fur seals.

• Enjoy a picnic lunch at Flinders Chase National Park

With a small group size and expert local guides, you’ll also get insights, stories, and hidden gems that make your experience truly unique.
