Experience
Kangaroo Island

K angaroo Island is one of the most unique, unspoilt places in Australia.
It is a pristine wilderness offering protection to large populations of native
Australian animals. Traverse the 155 kilometre length and you’ll find soaring
cliffs, dense forest, towering sand dunes, wetlands and massive white
beaches with clear waters. Get up close and personal with the kangaroos,
koalas and fur seals in their natural habitat, relax on one of the many
stunning beaches, jump on a sand board for an adrenalin rush, quad-bike
the coast, try your hand at fishing and discover the dramatic boulders at
Remarkable Rocks. Recharge your batteries and delight your taste buds with
the fine gourmet foods produced on the island – freshly caught King George
Whiting, sheep cheese, marron, a unique variety of honey and an exciting
range of varietal wines. Sealink ferries take 45 minutes and have connecting
mainland coach transfers. Recognised as one of Australia’s iconic National
Landscapes, Kangaroo Island offers a wealth of inspiring nature-based
experiences. There are many National and Conservation Parks on Kangaroo
Island, which cover almost one-third of the island, a great way to see them
all is to purchase a National Parks Pass.
