Day 1 - Adelaide to Kangaroo Island

We make our way out of Adelaide through the scenic hills of the Fleurieu Peninsula. When we arrive at Cape Jervis, we board the SeaLink ferry across Backstairs Passage (45 minute trip) to Penneshaw, where we meet your local island guide. It’s not far to our first stop at Pennington Bay, one of the Island’s stunning surf beaches. Get amongst sea lions in their natural habitat on our guided walk at Seal Bay, an experience you won’t forget! Scramble up the white sand hills at Little Sahara and get up close to more wildlife (including koalas) at the Hanson Bay Koala Sanctuary. We arrive at our farm-stay accommodation late in the afternoon. After dinner, get ready to spot kangaroos, wallabies and possums on a guided nocturnal walk. (LD)

Day 2 - Kangaroo Island to Adelaide

We spend the morning in Flinders Chase National Park. Clamber on the huge granite outcrops of Remarkable Rocks, sculpted by nature over hundreds of years. A colony of New Zealand fur seals resides at Admirals Arch on Cape du Couedic, watch while they frolic in the ocean or lap up the sunshine! We’ll have lunch at Rocky River Headquarters, where there’s time to check out the Information Centre; start point for the Snake Lagoon and Platypus Walks (seasonal choice). After lunch, we travel through the central farming region to the North Coast, visiting Stokes Bay, where a rock tunnel leads to an idyllic beach (seasonal). We then return to Penneshaw, with time to purchase dinner (own expense) before returning to the mainland and Adelaide. (BL)

South Australia: is the fourth largest state - four times the size of the UK and slightly larger than Texas - and offers all the experiences synonymous with Australia in one accessible area. Except for Adelaide (home to 1 million of the 1.5m residents), South Australia is sparsely inhabited and is the country's driest state. The terrain ranges from the craggy mountains of the Flinders Ranges (the southern reaches begin only 220kms out of Adelaide) to the vast expanses of isolated, desert outback broken by the fertile wine growing areas, including the world-renowned Barossa and Clare Valleys. Just offshore is Kangaroo Island, a wilderness and wildlife haven.

Kangaroo Island: is world-renowned as a place to see native Australian wildlife in its natural habitat. There are several reasons for this, firstly, more than half the island has never been cleared of vegetation, with about one third conserved in National and Conservation Parks. In addition, foxes and rabbits were never introduced onto the island, ensuring the integrity of the uncleared bushland and the presence of abundant wildlife, much of which is uncommon or extinct on mainland Australia. On your trip, you may get to see the Kangaroo Island Kangaroo, Tammar Wallaby, Short Beaked Echidna, Southern Brown Bandicoot, various species of possum, Cape Barren Geese, dolphins, penguins, whales (seasonal) and the endangered Glossy Black Cockatoo. The island also has flourishing populations of the rare Australian Sea Lion, New Zealand Fur Seal and Australian Fur Seal, which are all native, plus koalas and platypus (though the latter are pretty hard to spot!), which were introduced but still survive there.
