Itinerary highlights

Penneshaw Penguin Centre

The Penneshaw Penguin Centre provides tours to educate the public about a very special sea bird found on Kangaroo Island- the little penguin!

The little penguins are small in number, and it is now considered a privilege to see little penguins in the wild on Kangaroo Island. Coming on a penguin tour is the most penguin-friendly way to see the little penguins.

The Penneshaw Penguin Centre contains fascinating sea life specimens and informative displays. It is the only operational penguin centre in South Australia.

Flinders Chase National Park

Flinders Chase National Park is essential for any Kangaroo Island adventure. This expansive wilderness features iconic Remarkable Rocks, Admirals Arch and a long-nosed fur seal colony.

Perched on ancient rocky platforms above the sea, Remarkable Rocks’ surreal shapes and golden orange hues offer extraordinary photo opportunities.

Admirals Arch at Cape du Couedic is not only an impressive rock arch, weathered over thousands of years, but also home to a colony of long-nosed fur seals.

Hanson Bay Wildlife Sanctuary

Hanson Bay Wildlife Sanctuary is a privately-owned conservancy focused on providing habitat for native animals to live in the wild.

The 5000-acre wildlife sanctuary is situated on the western end of Kangaroo Island, between the Kelly Hill Caves Conservation Park and the Flinders Chase National Park. It is bordered by over 100,000 acres of protected wilderness lands and the Great Southern Ocean.

Since 1997 the Sanctuary has worked to conserve and protect the natural resources within its boundaries, especially the native Australian flora and fauna.

Vivonne Bay

Once voted Australia’s best beach, Vivonne Bay’s six-kilometre-long U-shaped beach is the postcard-perfect spot to soak in the best of island life. Here, white sandy shores meet gently lapping waves, perfect for photo ops!

Stokes Bay

Secluded Stokes Bay is a hidden paradise waiting to be uncovered on Kangaroo Island’s north coast. Winner of Australia’s top beach for 2023, this picture-perfect cove is an idyllic spot to relax beach side and admire the crystal clear water and white sands.

Dudley Wines

Established in 1997, Dudley is Kangaroo Island’s Pioneer Winery. The Cellar Door is situated 12 kilometres from Penneshaw on the cliff tops of Kangaroo Island’s stunning north coast, a not to be missed experience for visitors to the island.

Dudley Wines reflect the personality of the Island and the winemaker, fifth generation Islander, Brodie Howard. Being the owner/winemaker for over 20 years has given him the freedom to explore many techniques and develop his own unique winemaking style. His range of wines are diverse, and carefully crafted to capture and emphasise the abundant fruit characteristics presented by the Island’s Terroir.

False Cape Wines

False Cape Cellar Door offers premium wines and is situated in an idyllic setting, nestled amongst the vineyard and gum trees on the picturesque Willson River, surrounded by native vegetation and only 12 km from Penneshaw and the ferry.

The Kangaroo Island vineyard was established by Julie and Jamie Helyar in 1999 with North Facing Slopes, Terra Rosa soils over Limestone, cool climate along with sustainable practices creating the ideal conditions for producing great quality grapes and wine.
