Kangaroo Island
Immerse yourself in a natural wonderland - Kangaroo Island. Located south-west of Adelaide, off the mainland of South Australia. An island with 509 kilometres of coastline, rich with protected nature reserves, and home to an abundance of native wildlife. Say G’day to sea lions sunbathing on the beach, koalas dozing in eucalyptus trees, or pelicans soaring over glistening lagoons.
There is also a diverse range of bird species found here. In the western part of the island, you will discover Flinders Chase National Park, which is renowned for its astonishing penguin colonies. Kangaroo Island has a range of activities to keep you satisfied. Go swimming with dolphins in their natural habitat, explore the island in a 4WD with a local guide or watch the sunset.
