<p>This is more than just a sightseeing tour&mdash;it&#39;s a journey into the heart of Kangaroo Island&rsquo;s Indigenous heritage. Led by Ngarrindjeri elder Mark Koolmatrie, you&#39;ll gain a deep understanding of the island&rsquo;s landscapes, wildlife, and cultural significance. From learning about ancient bush medicines to hearing Dreaming stories tied to Remarkable Rocks, this experience offers a truly unique and meaningful way to explore one of Australia&rsquo;s most spectacular destinations.</p>

<p>See the highlights of South Australia&rsquo;s premier nature-based tourism destination, Kangaroo Island. With its picture-perfect beaches, stunning greenery, and hundreds of species of native wildlife, Kangaroo Island is the epitome of paradise. Your day starts with collection from your CBD hotel, for the journey down the&nbsp;Fleurieu Peninsula, to Cape Jervis for the ferry journey across to Kangaroo Island. The crossing takes just 45 minutes.&nbsp;You&#39;ll pass the beautiful Backstairs Passage and admire the clear waters and white sand of Penneshaw, where the ferry docks.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Once you&#39;re on the island, your nature adventure truly begins. Take a guided walk on the beach among a colony of rare and wild Australian sea lions with a National Parks Ranger at&nbsp;Seal Bay Conservation Park. There are more than 500 of these sea mammals that call the area home, and on this tour, you can get up close and see them frolic and laze about in the sun in an amazing and unforgettable experience.&nbsp;A place where unspoiled wilderness meets stunning beauty, 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!&nbsp;Enjoy a delicious two-course lunch after leaving the conservation park.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Spend part of the afternoon in the Flinders Chase National Park. It was devastated in January 2020 fires, but you&rsquo;ll see that the regeneration of the native bush occurred&nbsp;quickly and there will be many opportunities to take photos of the renewed bushland. As you travel through the park, keep an eye out for local wildlife such as echidnas, wallabies, reptiles, and koalas. See the rugged coastline from walks around Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch. Remarkable Rocks provide great photographic opportunities, while the Admirals Arch boardwalk takes you down a rugged cliff face to reveal the spectacular rock archway, a natural nursery and safe haven for playful long-nosed fur seals.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Your last visit of the day is to the Kangaroo Island Wildlife Park to feed some kangaroos and get up close to the Kangaroo Island koalas while listening to the keeper talk about the cuddly mammals. There is also a possibility that you will see even more wild kangaroos and wallabies on your return to Penneshaw for your return ferry and coach transfer back to Adelaide.</p>

The day trip to kangaroo island is really worth it!
Our guide on the coach Joanne was really informative about the island and got us everywhere on time. It is a long day but you get to see some really great spots on the island! My favourite was seeing and Learning about the the wild Australian seal lions at seal bay. 
Lunch was a lot more than expected so that was really great too. 
It is a journey to and from the island but so worth it ! Would recommend
