kangaroo Island - Private Group Tours

Kangaroo Island is one of the world's last great unspoiled island wildernesses. Native Australian wildlife & nature abound, and many species of plant and animal that are found on Kangaroo Island are no longer seen on the Australian mainland.

Location: 113km south west of Adelaide, about 90 minutes drive from Adelaide through the Southern Vales wine region of South Australia, via the Fleurieu Peninsula to Cape Jervis where the Kangaroo Island Sealink Ferry departs for Kangaroo Island. 3 day tour

Sealink operate 2 ferries to Kangaroo Island, The Spirit of Kangaroo Island and The Sealion 2000.

The ferries are comfortable and feature a forward lounge & well stocked snack bar for a coffee or a light snack.

Kangaroo Island is Australia's third largest island being 4500 square kilometer’s, with much of Kangaroo Island classified as national and conservation parks, the largest being Flinders Chase National Park.

The spectacular coastline is made up of towering cliffs, beautiful sandy beaches, battered rocks and quiet secluded inlets. There are excellent diverse bush walking and fishing opportunities on Kangaroo Island.

Kangaroo Island incorporates typical farmland, remote national parks, bleak rocky cliffs, snug bays and sandy, un-spoilt beaches.

Kingscote, the largest town on the island is situated at Nepean Bay. Here you can watch pelican feeding at 5pm in the afternoon at the jetty, and see fairy penguins come ashore at night.

At the other end of the island, about 90 minutes by vehicle is the Flinders Chase National Park, where you may see kangaroos, koalas, wallabies, platypus and possums.

Seal Bay Conservation Park is a large sandy beach and dune area, where wild Australian sea lions rest after a day out at sea fishing. Here you can go on a guided tour onto the beach and see the Sea Lions in their natural beach habitat.

There are many good swimming beaches on Kangaroo Island, secluded rock pools to explore, deserted sandy beaches to walk along, limestone cliffs to clamber up, mountains to climb, rivers to explore and bays to fish in.

Sailing, snorkeling and fishing charters are just a few ways to enjoy the water.

There is a total of 18 conservation and national parks on Kangaroo Island, and entry fees apply to some of them

^{Kangaroo Island features mostly a mild temperate mild climate. The average summer temperature is 25 deg. C, however, often cool southern sea breezes in the evenings make it necessary for the use of some warmer clothes.}
