Your adventure begins right here in Penneshaw, where our friendly local guide greets you before setting off for a full day immersed in Kangaroo Island’s beauty and wildlife.
Our first stop takes us west to the wild landscapes of Flinders Chase National Park. Here you’ll stand in awe at the sculpted curves of Remarkable Rocks and feel the force of the Southern Ocean crashing beneath Admiral’s Arch, home to playful long-nosed fur seals lounging along the shoreline.
From there, we make our way to the renowned Seal Bay Conservation Park. Walk with your guide along the sandy beach and come face-to-face with a colony of endangered Australian sea lions. Watching them doze in the sun or surf through the waves is an unforgettable experience.
We continue to Vivonne Bay, often described as one of Australia’s most pristine beaches. Pause to enjoy a freshly prepared lunch with sweeping views of turquoise water, and take a moment to wander down to the jetty for that perfect photo stop.
Throughout the journey, the island comes alive around you — kangaroos grazing in open fields, koalas nestled in eucalyptus trees, echidnas ambling across the ground, and flocks of native birds overhead.
As the day winds down, we return you comfortably back to Penneshaw, leaving you with stories, photos, and memories of a day that captures the very soul of Kangaroo Island.
Reserve your seat today and let us show you the best of the island — seamlessly, safely, and in the comfort of a small group.
