Kangaroo Island Tour

Description

Animal lovers rejoice, because the Kangaroo Island Tour will pack your day full of close encounters with feathers, fur and fins!

From Adelaide, South Australia, you will travel by coach to beautiful Cape Jervis, where you will hop on board your cruise vessel. Your route along the Backstairs Passage to Kangaroo Island allows you to see some amazingly beautiful sights, but none of this will prepare you for the raw, stunning gorgeousness of Kangaroo Island! This amazing island – with its 509km of Coastline – is definitely a paradise on Earth and pristine beaches, lush native bushland, rugged coastal outcrops and phenomenal rock formations are resplendent against the backdrop of the clear ocean and sky. This wildlife sanctuary island owes its pristine condition to the relative isolation from European development and lack of invasive plant and animal species, meaning the native flora and fauna has flourished.

On your tour, you will explore the island and see many of these native animals in their natural habitats. At Seal Bay, you will get up close to the gorgeous Australian Sea Lions and New Zealand Fur Seals as they bask in the sun, romp around the beach and catch waves into shore.

You will also experience the wonder of Flinders Chase National Park, where you will have the chance to spot some of the many Koalas in the area. You might also spot a Heath Goanna snaking through the undergrowth or a Kangaroo Island Echidna, with its distinctive blonde spines and – of course – what would a trip to Kangaroo Island be without spotting a kangaroo? There are many on the island, along with Tammar Wallabies. If you’re lucky, you may also catch a glimpse of a Brushtail Possum, Short Beaked Echidna, Southern Brown Bandicoot, Western and Little Pygmy Possum, Bush and Swamp Rat, one of the six bat species, six frog species, a Black Tiger Snake or a Pygmy Copperhead – just don’t get too close to the last two!

Animals aren’t the only fantastic feature you will see; you’ll also visit the amazing natural rock formations of Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch. Here, you can take advantage of the amazing formations to capture some stunning photos for your collection. Admirals Arch is also a haven for seabirds and New Zealand Fur Seals. This is truly a memorable location that you will remember visiting for years to come.
