Itinerary highlights
Seal Bay
With its unspoiled wilderness, stunning beauty and unique sealion colony, it is no surprise that Seal Bay is considered a must do experience on Kangaroo Island.
Seal Bay has been home to an Australian sea lion population for thousands of years, and offers one of the most exceptional nature-based experiences in the world. There are no enclosures or cages at Seal Bay. Instead, you will be taken into the heart of the colony where experienced guides will teach you about these endangered animals.
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.
