There’s so much to explore on this beautiful island. We take you through five must-see’s while visiting Kangaroo Island.

Kangaroo Island Wilderness Trail 

A great way to see some of the best scenery on the Island is the Kangaroo Island Wilderness Trail. It’s a self-guided 61 kilometre walk from the Flinders Chase Visitor Centre to Kelly Hill Caves. From beginning to end, the trail takes walkers around five days to complete, with camping spots and facilities located throughout. You’ll pass by fresh water lagoons, cascades, cliff tops and rivers with an abundance of native flora and fauna.

Seal Bay 

Seal Bay, on the southern side o the Island, is home to a colony of rare Australian sea lions, once almost hunted into extinction. The Seal Bay Sunset Experience Tour provides visitors with an exclusive two hur walk along the beach where you’ll get to see the sea lions in their natural habiitat. An expert guide will tell you about the behaviour and hierarchy of the sea lions, while the sunset illuminates the cliffs and coastline.
