Kangaroo Island – 5 Day – Self-Guided
Highlights
- Explore 67km of purpose-built walking tracks through diverse landscapes, immersing yourself in breathtaking coastal scenery.
- Observe native wildlife in their natural habitat, including threatened species unique to Kangaroo Island's protected national parks.
- Marvel at towering limestone cliffs and the powerful Southern Ocean swells, evoking the rugged beauty of the Otways.
- Keep an eye out for playful dolphins and majestic whales, making your coastal adventure truly unforgettable.
The breathtaking coastal scenery and coastal forest, work in concert with Kangaroo Island’s abundance of wildlife, to create an amazing platform for walking. Kangaroo Island is Australia’s third-largest and a third of it is protected within a national park. This unique island sanctuary has become a haven for native animals, particularly threatened and protected species. The track traverses a diverse range of landscape. Eucalypt and mallee forest and striking stretches of coastal landscape dominate the 67km purpose-built walk.
The tall limestone cliffs, reminiscent of the Otways and the massive Southern Ocean swells, contributed to at least 60 ships being wrecked on these shores. It’s also a haven for marine wildlife like whales, even the odd killer whale, seals and dolphins, so be on the lookout.
