Island Life Adventure

   

Kangaroo Island is the 3rd largest Australian island and over a third is protected as National or Conservation Park. The Island’s landscape provides a microcosm of Australia – red dirt roads, sheep and cattle farms, Eucalyptus trees stretching off to the horizon, rugged cliffs, beautiful beaches, bountiful local produce and a wide range of wildlife species. 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 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:

Travel through some of Australia's finest wool-growing areas. Seek out koalas in the wild. Visit the habitat of the world's rarest cockatoo. Enjoy a delicious seafood barbeque at a private site in the bush. Share the beach with Australian Sealions at Seal Bay. Look for kangaroos and wallabies at home in the bush.
