MORE INFORMATION
Today, you'll embark on an amazing daytrip to Kangaroo Island, where you'll meet with a local guide to explore the western end of the island, including Flinders Chase National Park, Admiral's Arch, Weir's Cove, Remarkable Rocks, Cape du Couedic and a secret scenic location for lunch. See the local Australian wildlife in their natural habitats, far away from any predators or harmful introduced species. Your day will begin with an early morning pickup from your hotel in either Kingscote or American River, on Kangaroo Island. Travel to the island’s western side and discover the remarkable Flinders Chase National Park – this is one of the oldest and most important national parks in South Australia. Making up almost 20 per cent of the land, most of this park is a Wilderness Protection Area and is home to various flora and fauna that are unique to Kangaroo Island. Your guide will teach you about the landscape and the wildlife that live here as you go. First, you'll see Admirals Arch, where the forces of nature have cut through the headland to create this amazing geological formation. Then, visit Cape du Couedic where a colony of 10,000 long-nosed fur seals call home. Watch them play and lounge as you stroll around the lighthouse and Weir’s Cove. You'll then head to the picturesque formations of the Remarkable Rocks – these granite boulders balance dramatically on the cliff’s edge, which plunges 75 metres into the Southern Ocean. When you've worked up an appetite, sit down for a gourmet picnic lunch in a secluded scenic location and take in the ambience. This afternoon, you'll explore some of the most spectacular beaches on Kangaroo Island, soaking up the beauty and wildness of the stunning coastlines. Don't worry, there will be plenty of photo opportunities along the way! As your beautiful day on the island comes to an end, return to your chosen KI accommodation.
