Flinders Chase Adventure
   

The Island is home to kangaroos, koalas, wallabies, sealions, echidnas, platypus, goannas, possums and many species of birds – all in their natural habitat. A one day visit provides a just taste of this large island – be warned – many travelers who visit just for one day leave disappointed they did not allow more time to explore this interesting and remote place.

The tour includes a 30 minute flight from Adelaide and on arrival you will be met by your Exceptional Kangaroo Island guide. Traveling in a comfortable 4x4 vehicle you will explore a variety of landscapes:

   
  • Explore Flinders Chase National Park - one of Australia's first – and finest!

  • Marvel at the antiquity of Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch - two magnificent geological features.
