Return Details

Returns to original departure point
Your day trip begins with pickup in Adelaide by coach for the drive with your guide across the Fleurieu Peninsula to Cape Jervis, where you catch the ferry for a cruise across Backstairs Passage to Penneshaw on Kangaroo Island. Upon arrival, board another coach for your tour of the island.

Then begin your Kangaroo Island experience at Seal Bay Conservation Park to witness Australian sea lions lazing on the beach; take a coastal walk with a National Parks ranger for an up-close look at the colony. Continue to Vivonne Bay for a 2-course lunch at Vivonne Bay Bistro, where picture windows and a deck provide opportunities to watch for koalas and kangaroos in the surrounding bush.

After lunch, visit Flinders Chase National Park on the rugged southwest coast of the island to walk among the granite boulders known as the Remarkable Rocks. See the rock archway known as Admirals Arch, admire Cape du Couedic and watch long-nosed fur seals as they play and relax.

Throughout your tour, hear about the history of Kangaroo Island and learn interesting facts about the animals from your knowledgeable guide. When your time on the island is up, head back to the ferry landing, watching for more kangaroos along the way, for your ferry ride back to the mainland.

Traveler Tips

  • "It is a long drive to go to the island and by plane, it is only 20 min flight but it is more expensive." See review
  • "Long day but worth it to see the island even though some attractions were off limits due to recent fires." See review
  • "The water is calmer in the morning (can't really see much from the ferry so it's not like you whale watch, etc." See review

This was such a lovely day, the bus and ferry to kangaroo island there and back was long but with it. I loved seeing the Australian sea lions and the fur seals were lovely, and the admirals arch was an unexpected surprise. Dani out tour guide was a local and it was fantastic having a local know knew the area but also what the people on the island are like. We also visited a wildlife park where we were able to feed kangaroos as well as see some Australian animals.
