Your Remarkable Adelaide to Kangaroo Island adventure begins today with a city tour before travelling through the Fleurieu Peninsula, a beautiful region known for its stunning coastline, picturesque towns, and rich cultural heritage. At Cape Jervis, it’s all aboard as you cruise south across the Backstairs Passage bound for Penneshaw, Kangaroo Island’s second largest town. On arrival why not take a walk along the Kangaroo Island Sculpture Trail, delve into the island’s history at the Maritime and Folk Museum or just relax with a dip at the beach. The choice is yours! This evening, enjoy dinner at the hotel with your travelling companions.

After a leisurely breakfast, your Kangaroo Island tour begins with a visit to Cape Willoughby Conservation Park, home to South Australia’s oldest operational lighthouse. Explore the visitor centre & museum to learn about the rich maritime history before taking a walk around the lighthouse and enjoying the panoramic views of Cape Willoughby. Next, you’ll discover the history of Kangaroo Island Wool as you embark on a unique and captivating 75-minute journey through time on a working mill tour. Begin with an unforgettable cinematic experience within Australia's only 9-metre Igloo Dome, where you'll be transported to the heart of Kangaroo Island. Discover the fascinating story of the island's wool industry, from its early settlers to the present-day wool farmers who have shaped its rich heritage. Meet the people who have played a crucial role in shaping Kangaroo Island's wool legacy and gain a deeper understanding of the island's history and culture. Working up a thirst, your final stop of the day is to meet Mike, your host at Kangaroo Island Brewery. This is no ordinary brew-house – Mike makes all his beers using rainwater he collects from the roof of his shed. Try a paddle of his liquid gold, or sip wine or cider while chatting with your affable host.

Today, your kangaroo island trip mixes wilderness, wildlife and wonderful food in equal measure. Your outlook begins on a high at the Remarkable Rocks. Formed some 500 million years ago, the precariously balanced, rust-hued granite boulders cut a dramatic form against the inky blue of the Southern Ocean and silvery shrubs that cover the countryside. Your outlook is just as wild at Admirals Arch, a natural rock formation within Flinders Chase National Park, and a popular hangout for cacophonous New Zealand fur seals. The colony loll about on just about every surface you can see. They’re petite compared to the creatures found at Seal Bay Conservation Park, a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience where playful seals tumble down the sand to splash about in the water – metres from where you stand. And on to that food and drink. After a two-course lunch at Vivonne Bay Bistro, Peter at Island Beehive will dish up samples of the honey (and delicious honey ice-cream) he makes here using Ligurian bees. They’re found on KI, and nowhere else in Australia. Meanwhile, the owners of Islander Estate Vineyard will pour you a glass or two and talk through the production of their wines.

Today’s Kangaroo Island experience blends untamed landscapes, close up wildlife encounters and exceptional local flavours in perfect harmony. Your journey begins at Seal Bay Conservation Park, a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience, where Australian sea lions laze on the sand before sliding playfully into the surf just a few metres from your vantage point. From here, continue to the iconic Remarkable Rocks. Shaped over roughly 500 million years, these striking, rust coloured granite formations sit dramatically above the deep-blue Southern Ocean, surrounded by low, silvery coastal vegetation. Your day stays firmly rooted in nature at Admirals Arch in Flinders Chase National Park. This impressive natural archway is a favourite gathering place for New Zealand fur seals, which sprawl across the rocks and fill the air with their lively calls. A sweet interlude follows at Island Beehive, where Peter introduces you to the island’s unique Ligurian bees and offers tastings of his honey and indulgent honey ice cream. To round out your adventure, the team at Islander Estate Vineyard welcomes you for a relaxed wine tasting, sharing insights into their winemaking craft as you sample their elegant island-grown varieties.
