What To Expect

Explore Kangaroo Island's natural beauty and wildlife on this 2-day, off-the-beaten-track tour that includes one night at Vivonne Bay Lodge for comfortable budget accommodation in either a dorm room or private twin room (select your preference when booking). Bathrooms are shared, and the lodge features a kitchen, provided coffee and tea, table tennis, bike rentals, billiards, hammocks and more. If you wish, you can check out the nearby hiking trails and beach. Bed linens are included; you must bring your own towel. In keeping with the adventurous spirit of this group tour, everyone works together with your guide to prepare meals and clean up. Provided meals included two lunches, one breakfast and one dinner. Also when booking, you have the option to select how you want to leave Kangaroo Island; all tours start with a ferry ride, but you may upgrade to include a flight back to Adelaide to enhance your experience. Otherwise, return by ferry. See the Itinerary for details on each day.ItineraryDay 1: Adelaide - Kangaroo Island (L, D)After pickup at select Adelaide and Glenelg hotels, your small group travels by coach on a scenic 1.5-hour route through Fleurieu Peninsula to catch the ferry to Kangaroo Island. Once on the island, meet up with your friendly local guide to visit Rob's Shearing, a farm just outside Penneshaw. Watch in amazement as the expertly trained dogs round up the sheep, and then check out a sheep-shearing demo that only takes a couple of minutes! Learn about farming life, dog training, shearing technique and wool handling during the fascinating demonstration. Next, head to gorgeous Pennington Bay on your way to Emu Ridge Eucalyptus Distillery. Eucalyptus oil was once a major industry on Kangaroo Island, but today Emu Ridge is the only commercial eucalyptus distillery in South Australia. Learn about the history of this family-owned operation and how they make their fine oils. En route, you'll also make a stop at Seal Bay to take a closer look at a colony of Australian sea lions, and visit the towering sand dunes at Little Sahara to try out sandboarding. It's like surfing on sand dunes! After an active day, head to Vivonne Bay Lodge for the rest of the night. Before and after a barbecue dinner, which you help prepare, take some free time to explore the large property. A stunning beach, 6 miles (10 km) of walking and biking trails, and a table tennis area are among the places you can spend some free time. If you just want to wind down from the day, lounge in hammocks or find a quiet nook.Overnight: dorm or private room, Vivonne Bay Lodge, Kangaroo IslandDay 2: Kangaroo Island - Adelaide (B, L)After breakfast, travel to Hanson Bay Wildlife Sanctuary to see wild koalas and kangaroos.

Continue to Flinders Chase National Park to see huge wind-sculpted boulders nicknamed the "Remarkable Rocks." Take in spectacular views of the coastline at Cape Du Couedic, and stop at Admirals Arch to watch long-nosed fur seals along the water. After a full morning, tuck into a tasty barbecue lunch at Flinders Chase Visitor Centre. After your meal, visit a secluded beach at Stokes Bay, and if time permits, take a walk at Ironstone Hill to admire spectacular views of the mainland. Start your return journey to the ferry, stopping as time and weather allows to visit other scenic spots.
