Island Life – Full Day Kangaroo Island Tour
Highlights
- Savour home-made treats over a cuppa before exploring the tranquil Eucalyptus forests where koalas rest above.
- Listen for the vibrant sounds of honeyeaters and cicadas while wandering through Kangaroo Island's diverse bushland.
- Enjoy a delicious lunch featuring local King George whiting and fine South Australian wines at a private bush camp.
- Experience the thrill of a private tour at Seal Bay, observing playful sea-lion pups on a stunning sandy beach.
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.
