day 1 - Adelaide / Kangaroo Island

Welcome to Adelaide! (Or Tandanya in the language of The Kaurna people, who are the Traditional Owners of the land on which Adelaide is now located.) Your adventure starts with a welcome meeting at 9 am this morning, then you’ll travel to Cape Jervis. From here, jump on a ferry to Penneshaw on Kangaroo Island – keep an eye out for dolphins swimming alongside the ferry! When you dock, it's a short walk to your hotel, where you can drop your luggage, then maybe get to know your group over lunch. This afternoon, set off on the Kangaroo Island Sculpture Trail with your local leader and take in the panoramic views overlooking Hog’s Bay as you walk. This evening, visit the Penneshaw Penguin Centre for an evening walk in search of the world’s smallest variety of penguins.

day 2 - Kangaroo Island

Kangaroo Island is Australia’s third-largest island and a paradise for wildlife lovers. It’s not just kangaroos you can find here – wallabies, sea lions, echidnas and sheep live here too! This morning, travel to Dudley Peninsula, where you’ll visit a local farm, see how sheep are shorn and meet the owner’s super sweet kelpie dogs. Then, stop by the Cape Willoughby Lighthouse – the oldest lighthouse in South Australia. After, visit a family-owned eucalyptus oil refinery and a honey farm, before heading to the Kangaroo Island Gallery – a community gallery specifically for the promotion, encouragement and exposure of local artists and craftspeople. Tonight, if there’s time maybe visit a local winery and enjoy a glass of shiraz or chardonnay before heading to Kingscote for the night.

day 3 - Kangaroo Island

After breakfast, swing by Salt Lagoon to snap some pictures of this scenic spot, then continue towards Emu Bay Beach. Spend some time exploring the white sand, then beach hop over to the secluded Stokes Bay – a gorgeous spot for a swim and voted Australia's most beautiful beach in 2023. Explore the Stokes Bay region, which is still recovering from the early 2022 bushfires which damaged much of the island. After an afternoon on the beach, you’ll return to Kingscote and enjoy an evening at leisure.

day 4 - Kangaroo Island

Start the day with a visit to Seal Bay. There are no actual seals here, but there are plenty of sea lions! The sea lion colony you see today has existed at Seal Bay for thousands of years. Join an up close and personal ranger-led wildlife experience which will allow you to observe the lives of these endearing creatures as you watch them swim, play and bask in the sun. Next up is something really special – head to Vivonne Bay, which is not only one of the most stunning beaches on Kangaroo Island but the whole of Australia. Venture into the Flinders Chase National Park and come face to face with the aptly named Remarkable Rocks, made up of naturally sculpted granite boulders. You’ll also check out the impressive Admirals Arch and take some time to explore the park before heading back to Kingscote.

Learn about the boat’s history and see how it’s being rebuilt, then take a scenic walk through coastal scrub towards the remains of an old fish cannery – keep an eye out for the rare and striking glossy-black cockatoos along the way. Get ready to say goodbye to Kangaroo Island as you make the drive back to Penneshaw and catch the ferry back to the mainland. Dock in Cape Jervis for your trip back to Adelaide, where your trip comes to an end. If you’d like to stay in Adelaide longer, just speak to your booking agent ahead of time.
