Australia: Wildlife Experiences: 3 Day Kangaroo Island Wanderer

Kangaroo Island offers visitors some of the most unique and pristine environments available. Sheltered from the mainland Kangaroo Island has become an untouched natural paradise, where the wildlife thrives and the recreational activities are endless.

For those looking to explore this region, a 3-day wanderer tour lets you discover the beauty and wildlife of the region, whilst enjoying excellent food, wine and accommodation along the way.

Day One - Island Life Day Tour
After a 30-minute morning flight from Adelaide you will explore a red gum forest in the Cygnet River valley - seek out koalas sleeping in the forks of trees. Travel through some of the island's best farming country to the North Coast and Lathami Conservation Park. Take a walk through the habitat of Kangaroo Island kangaroos, tammar wallabies and endangered glossy black cockatoos. Break for lunch and enjoy a delicious meal featuring local seafood, fresh salads and fine South Australian wines at a private bush location.

After lunch travel to Seal Bay, walk with your guide amongst Australian sea lions on a beautiful sandy beach. Watch pups nursing or playing in the surf, see old bulls scarred by territorial fights and learn of their unique breeding biology. The remainder of the afternoon is spent exploring more of the southeast region of the island with destinations and experiences chosen to reflect seasonal opportunities.

Day Two - At leisure
Today is free to spend doing as much or as little as you please

Day Three - Flinders Chase Focus Day Tour
After breakfast you will depart for your second day of touring. Flinders Chase National Park, a vast wilderness covering the western end of the island, is home to kangaroos, wallabies, possums, goannas, echidnas, koalas, platypus and many birds including rare Cape Barren geese. Visit Rocky River, site of an impressive visitor centre interpreting many facets of the park and its history. At Cape du Couedic visit a fur seal colony, which now numbers over 20,000 after being decimated by hunting in the early 1800's. These animals can be observed resting on the rocks or frolicking in the surf under Admiral's Arch, a spectacular grotto. Visit an historic lighthouse where three families provided an important navigation service, which is now automated. Along the coast explore Remarkable Rocks, huge natural sculptures on the cliff top. Good wines and local produce feature highly in the picnic lunch, which is enjoyed in the bush before exploring more of the island. Depending upon season the afternoon might include a visit to 'Grassdale' in the heart of Kelly Hill Conservation Park, the secluded pools of Rocky River or a visit to a rugged South Coast cove. At the conclusion of the tour transfer to Kingscote Airport to connect with return flights to Adelaide.
