Get ready to unplug and go off-grid on a three-day camping adventure through one of Australia’s most biodiverse and beautiful landscapes. Just a short ferry ride from Adelaide, Kangaroo Island, affectionately known as nature’s playground, is where native wildlife roams free, beaches look like postcards, and your days are filled with wild moments worth remembering.
Join our passionate Storyteller Guides and a small group of like-minded travellers as you hike windswept coastlines, meet endangered sea lions at Seal Bay, and marvel at 500-million-year-old rock formations in Flinders Chase National Park. Relax with tastings at a local honey farm and coastal winery, spot koalas in the treetops, and fall asleep under the stars.

You’ll have the chance to contribute to citizen science through our Passport to Recovery partnership, and if you’re craving an extra thrill, add an optional snorkel with wild dolphins or seals. Whether you’re beach-hopping, stargazing, or helping keep this island wild with a meaningful beach clean-up, this trip strikes the perfect balance of adventure, connection, and purpose.
