South Australia Kangaroo Island SeaLink Platinum 2 Day Tour
Kangaroo Island SeaLink
Day 1 - Adelaide to Kangaroo Island
Early morning pick up from your Adelaide hotel (0600 - 0630) for a scenic coach trip through hills and farmland along the coast to Cape Jervis. There you will connect with Sealink’s fast and comfortable ferry for the 45 minute cruise to Kangaroo Island to meet your special tour coach. On arrival in Penneshaw you will be met by your experienced Sealink tour guide. First stop is Jumbuck Australiana, an opportunity to see sheep shearing and learn about the wool industry all in an authentic original shearing shed.
From there we drive to Andermel for a look at the marron ponds (fresh water lobster) where these delicious crustaceans are farmed. Andermel is also a winery and so a wine tasting is included. Lunch in the Andermel restaurant, consists of the choice of two marron dishes served with white wine.
After lunch we visit the Kelly Hill Caves for a ranger guided tour of these limestone caves and then continue to Flinders Chase National Park. Last stop for the day is to a series of ponds in Rocky River to try to find the very shy platypus and spot some of the colourful Australian birds. Accommodation is the 4 star Kangaroo Island Wilderness Retreat, near the entrance to Flinders Chase National Park. Watch for the wallabies and possums as you go in for dinner, a two course a la carte meal served with Kangaroo Island wines.
Day 2 - Kangaroo Island to Adelaide
After continental breakfast we drive back into Flinders Chase National Park to visit Remarkable Rocks, a spectacular eroded granite rock formation and paradise for photographers. We stop at Weir’s Cove and then Admiral’s Arch, another spectacular natural formation and home to a colony of playful fur seals. We drive back along the south coast road to Hanson Bay Sanctuary where we take a walk to look for koalas and other wildlife, then onto Vivonne Bay for a two course lunch served with Kangaroo Island wines.
Lunch is followed by a Birds of Prey demonstration. From Vivonne Bay it is a short drive to Seal Bay Conservation Park where we have one of the world’s special experiences - a walk on the beach with your Sealink guide amongst a breeding colony of wild and rare Australian sealions. From Seal Bay travel into Kingscote, the island’s main town, where you will see the feeding of the wild pelicans and learn about these ancient birds, before returning to Adelaide.
