Seal Bay Conservation Park
After breakfast, it's time to kick off the day with one of Kangaroo Island's most iconic wildlife encounters. At Seal Bay, join a guided 45-minute tour with National Parks & Wildlife rangers and get up close with Australia's third-largest colony of endangered sea lions— around 800 call this place home. Wander the boardwalk through coastal dunes, spotting sea lions snoozing in the sun, sprawled across the beach, or even lying right across the path. Learn about the species' fight for survival and the conservation efforts helping to protect them.
Flinders Chase National Park
Next up: an island icon. We head west to Flinders Chase National Park, a wild wonderland of rugged cliffs, native bush, and jaw-dropping rock formations. Stroll the boardwalk at Admirals Arch, keeping an eye out for New Zealand fur seals lounging below. Then prepare to be wowed by the legendary Remarkable Rocks—500 million years in the making and as photogenic as they come
Antechamber Bay
After a full day, head back towards camp to reflect and relax over dinner before rolling out your swag and counting shooting stars. Today, we drive approximately 340 km.

Cape Willoughby Lighthouse
Kick off the final day with a refreshing morning bush walk near camp before packing up and hitting the road. First stop is Cape Willoughby, home to South Australia's first lighthouse. Perched above dramatic cliffs, it offers sweeping views and stories from Kangaroo Island's rich maritime past.
Kangaroo Island
Next up is Pennington Bay, where powerful swells crash against the southern coastline. From here, tackle the 500 steps up to Prospect Hill, one of the island's highest vantage points. The panoramic views are absolutely worth the effort.
Kangaroo Island
Afterwards, at Kingscote Jetty, there's time for a refreshing swim if you're keen before we head inland to Duck Lagoon. A peaceful spot surrounded by bushland and known for its laid-back vibe and koala sightings.
Stokes Bay
By lunchtime, we roll into Stokes Bay, a local favourite with a hidden rock tunnel leading to a seriously stunning beach. Enjoy a picnic lunch and take some time to unwind on the sand.
Emu Bay
Before we wrap, we make one last stop at Emu Bay, voted Australia's best beach! With its long stretch of white sand and clear blue water, it's the perfect spot for a stroll, a quick dip, and a meaningful beach clean-up to help keep this pristine coastline wild and beautiful.
Kangaroo Island
After an unforgettable few days, we arrive back in Penneshaw to catch the 5:30 pm ferry to Cape Jervis. From there, your bus connection will have you back in Adelaide by around 9:00 pm. A little salty, a lot inspired, and glowing from three days of island adventure.

5.00I've wanted to go to Kangaroo Island for a while and this trip did not disappoint. Our tour guide Elliot was an incredible guide and I liked the small group size. Everything was perfectly organised, from pick-up in Adelaide to the ferry crossing, thanks to Cameron. I highly recommend this tour.
A very nice tour with Hannah with enough time for the individual activities

5.00It was a super nice 3 days on Kangaroo Isle. Hannah our tour guide was super nice. Told us a lot about the island, animals. It was very informative. Sleeping in the swags was also very good. They were brand new and it was like a one-man tent. Cooking together was fun.
A must-do for wildlife lovers

5.00What a wonderful adventure the three-day tour with Elliott and Henny it was! A must-do for wildlife lovers - there is no other place in Australia where one can spot a koala 🐨 in so many trees! The beaches and rock formations on Kangaroo Island are insane - it is impossible to see everything in less than three days. Elliott is a great and most knowledgeable tour guide - very passionate about the environment and conservation too. The Milky Way above visible from open swags is a huge bonus. A highly recommended tour!
We had the best time!

5.00We really loved the tour, the nature on Kangaroo Island is just stunning and we saw a bunch of different animals (Kangaroos, Koalas, Seals, Pelikans…). There is a Little private beach near the Camp which is just stunning! Our Tourguide Adam was amazing, we had such a good time. The food was also really delicious, it was fun to help out in the kitchen and they were always vegetarian options. It was my first camping trip & I really enjoyed it - would definetly do it again :)
Perfect 3-day getaway

5.00A full 3 days, we saw so much of the island and had lots of great experiences. Place we stayed was better than expected, very good swags and with indoor kitchen bathroom and lounge facilities. Our guide Adam was fun and had our days well planned and organised.
AI is definitely worth a visit!

5.00It was a very fine little adventure, perfectly organised by our guide Adam Stansfield. Great group of 17 that was a lot of fun. Adam showed us Lots of beautiful places and I took unforgettable impressions with me. The vegetation of the island alone is worth a visit. Highlight was surely Seal Bay with a large sea lion colony, the night visit of kangaroos in the camp, koala in the middle of the road, sleeping in the swag, swimming Nm on the most beautiful beach AIs, collecting garbage. Could have taken a day longer. Oh, the red wine cuvée at Dudley's winery tastes great! Thanks, it was worth it!
Great adventure

5.00What an adventure. In just threee days we covered this beautiful island and our amazing guide Elliot showed us all the best spots - including where to spot koalas and the tamar wallaby which we were successful in seeing. The camp spot was beautiful next to our own exclusive white sand beach. Waking up to a sunrise with kangaroo checking out the camp was a personal highlight. Elliot’s knowledge of the local fauna and wildlife was really impressive - especially as he himself wasn’t a kangaroo island local. The three days honesty felt like three months - didn’t want it to end. Thanks Elliot - and Adam who ensured we made the ferry in plenty of time when he collected us from Adelaide bus station - and back again!
