Day 1: Adelaide to Kangaroo Island

Start at 6:45am, hop on the bus to the ferry terminal, then a 45 ferry ride to the island. After meeting the guide, jump on board the coach and begin your journey on Kangaroo Island. We’ll head out to Pennington Bay, climbing Prospect Hill (the highest point on the island).

We will then visit the oldest bee sanctuary in the world and stop by a honey farm to learn about the bees and enjoy a honey tasting. We’ll have a picnic lunch here before heading to Emu Ridge Eucalyptus Oil Distillery and Dudley Wines, which is a family owned winery. Here, you can take in ocean views and sip on some delicious wine.

In the late afternoon, we will head to our campsite “Happiness”, which offers kitchen, bathroom, and lounge facilities, and grants private access to a stunning beach. You will be swag camping under the stars for two nights here.

Meals: Lunch & Dinner

Accommodation: Swag camping at Happiness

Day 2: Kangaroo Island

Begin your day with a delicious breakfast, followed by an exciting wildlife encounter. At Seal Bay, you’ll get to encounter the third-largest colony of endangered Australian sea lions, learning all about these fascinating creatures with a 45-minute tour with the National Parks & Wildlife guides.

You will then visit the popular Flinders Chase National Park. The national park is home to beautiful beaches, an array of wildlife and impressive rock formations. Go for a stroll along the boardwalk at Admirals Arch, spot seals, and be in awe of the remarkable rocks. Explore the bush at Weirs Cove and refuel with a picnic lunch before continuing into the exciting afternoon.

As if you haven’t seen enough wildlife today, we have more animal spotting to do today! Seal Bay is home to almost 800 sea lions. During your 45 minute guided tour, you’ll learn some more about these beautiful animals. We’ll go for a little stroll to the beach where you’ll be walking amongst the sea lions. They’ll probably not really be bothered about your presence and love to snooze away under the warm sun. Eventually, we’ll head back to our camp for another tasty dinner and a comfortable night under the Milky Way.
