ISLAND LIFE 

Day 1

The tour begins with a meet and greet at selected Island accommodation or upon arrival at the airport.

Welcome to our full day Island Life Kangaroo Island wildlife tour itinerary.

Today, we’ll get a feel for Island Life – where things take time, drivers wave as they go by – or even stop for a chat.

Have a cuppa with some home-made treats before taking a walk down a country track through tall Eucalyptus trees where koalas snooze overhead or wake briefly for a feed. Listen for the sounds of the bush – brightly coloured honeyeaters and brilliant parrots, cicadas or perhaps just the sound of silence.

Travel through the Island’s most productive country to the north coast. Walk through the bush with your guide – through strangely shaped trees learning what makes that noise, whose tracks are those, and who left THAT little pile there? Look for small wallabies almost extinct on the mainland, a kangaroo found only on Kangaroo Island and a variety of other birds, plants and animals.

Break for lunch at a private bush camp and enjoy a delicious meal featuring King George whiting (local sea fish), fresh salads and fine South Australian wines.

At Seal Bay Conservation Park take a private tour with your guide among Australian sea-lions on a beautiful sandy beach – an experience similar to that of the Galapagos. Watch pups nursing or playing in the surf, see old bulls bearing the scars of territorial disputes and learn about their unique breeding biology.

The first day’s touring concludes with your return to your Island accommodation.
 

FLINDERS CHASE FOCUS

Day 2

Today your guide will meet you at your selected Island accommodation.

Welcome to our full day Flinders Chase Focus Kangaroo Island tour itinerary.

Begin the day travelling through some of the fire-affected landscapes of Kangaroo Island, which are recovering quickly following generous winter rains. 

Learn about fire ecology and how nature deals with fire. Some of our native flora species only flower following fire!

Travel into Flinders Chase National Park and explore the massive shapes of Remarkable Rocks, a natural sculpture perched impossibly on top a granite dome plunging into the ocean

Break for an elegant picnic lunch in the bush, or if weather permits, on a spectacular clifftop. Lunch features marinated poached chicken, fresh salads, cheeses accompanied by local wine, beer, soft drinks and spring water.

Evidence of the power of the Southern Ocean swell continues at Admirals Arch – a coastal grotto which provides a haul out for a large colony of Long-nosed fur seals which swim effortlessly through crashing waves.

Your day will end on a relaxing note, so enjoy resting on the scenic route as your guide returns you to your selected Island accommodation

FINE FLAVOURS

Day 3

Our first stop takes us to Clifford’s Honey Farm, specialising in honey production from Kangaroo Island’s Ligurian Bee since 1973. Gain insights into honey production and indulge in a tasting of various honey varieties, including Jenny’s famous Honey Ice Cream.

Next, we’ll head to the coastal town of American River, which is home to the Kangaroo Island Oyster Farm Shop, known for its delicious Pacific Oysters. Depending on the season, we’ll sample oysters in the shop or at a secluded picnic spot.

Enjoy an alfresco lunch featuring smoked meats, fresh salad, and a selection of local beer and wines.

After lunch, we’ll venture inland, passing by Fryar’s Kangaroo Island Free Range Eggs. Learn about their fascinating egg farm, where hens roam freely under the watchful eyes of Maremma guardian dogs.

Next stop is Kangaroo Island Olives, where father and son duo, Michael and Dom, cultivate olives from a grove of 5000 trees. We have special access to drive into the grove to enjoy a tailgate tasting featuring table olives and their delectable oils, reflecting the Mediterranean climate and South Australia’s rich immigrant history.

Visit The Islander Estate Vineyards, one of Kangaroo Island’s premium wineries, and sample a selection of their red and white varieties in the tasting room. Learn about the creative winemaking techniques used by owner and winemaker Jacques Lurton from Bordeaux, France.

Conclude the day with a tasting at Kangaroo Island Spirits, globally acclaimed for their award-winning gins and liqueurs, including recognitions in New York and London.

Sit back and reflect as you journey back to your Island accommodation or the airport for your flight back to Adelaide.

NOTE: The order of Day 1, Day 2 and/or Day 3 may be re-ordered.
