Must See Must Do on Kangaroo IslandFlinders Chase National Park | Marvel at Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch, just two of the many amazing land formations within the 33,000-hectare Flinders Chase National Park. There's also the 1909 Cape du Couedic lighthouse and wildlife aplenty, including kangaroos, koalas, echidnas and the endangered Cape Barren geese. Start with a visit to the fabulous Flinders Chase Visitor Centre. |
More Information >> Seal Bay Conservation Park | Walk among the nation's third largest and most accessible colony of Australian Sea Lions as these cute creatures doze in the sun after lengthy fishing forays in the Southern Ocean. Various tours are available at the hugely popular Seal Bay Conservation Park: you can join a park ranger for a guided walk on the beach, of take a self-guided tour on the more accessible boardwalk. |
More Information >> Penguin Pageantry | Join Little Penguins on their nightly procession from the waters around Kingscote and Penneshaw to cosy seaside burrows. The friendly folk of the Kangaroo Island Marine Centre in Kingscote run nightly tours, and will also show you around their illuminating saltwater aquariums, containing a huge variety of island marine life including seahorses, amazing cuttlefish and reef fish. |
More Information >> Kangaroo Island Caving | Sympathize with the poor horse that discovered Kelly Hill Caves in 1881 by accidentally falling into one, as you tour this beautiful cave system of caverns and sinkholes. Showcase tours run daily, but the more daring can also book an adventure caving tour for a deeper look into this underground world of ornate calcite formations. |
More Information >> Island Indulgence | Take your tastebuds on tour through the island's growing range of gourmet produce - from award-winning sheep milk cheeses at the Island Pure Sheep Dairy to pure Ligurian honey, freshwater marron and olive oil. Taste the boutique wines of this young wine region at one of our spectacular cellar doors, before tucking into the finest local produce at one of many great restaurants and cafes. |
More Information >> Pure Ligurian Honey | Kangaroo Island is home to the only known pure strain of Ligurian bee in the world. The bees descended from the Italian province of Liguria, imported in twelve hives in the 1880's and protected from other breeds of bee by the Island's isolation. The honey produced is of outstanding quality and no trip to Kangaroo Island is complete without sampling it. At both the Island Beehive and Cliffords Honey Farm you can taste the honey and learn more about the Ligurian bee. |
More Information >> The Art of an Island | Artists are moved by the beauty of Kangaroo Island - by its soulful landscapes, its sweeping seascapes and the extraordinary meeting of people and nature. The result is a thriving visual arts culture, with an estimated 10% of the Island's population engaged with different art forms. |
More Information>> See the Light (house) | Envelop yourself in the Island's history with a tour of its spectacular lighthouses. Dating back to 1852, Cape Willoughby is SA's oldest lighthouse: you can tour it daily. At Cape Borda, tour the lighthouse and museum before exploring the old landing site and lightkeeper's cemetery. And at Weirs Cove wonder at how life was for the early keepers of Cape du Couedic lighthouse, visiting the remains of the jetty, water tank and storerooms that sustained life in this isolated post between infrequent supply ships. |
More Information >> Little Sahara | Feel the sand between your toes as you wander the white slopes of Little Sahara, a series of spectacular sand dunes that rise out of bushland in the centre of the island.
Take a sand board, climb to the top of those razorback ridges and ride the slopes back down to the bottom. |
More Information >> Vivonne Bay | When Sydney University evaluated 10,000 beaches across Australia (rating them on things like clarity of water, privacy and cleanliness) it was only natural that Kangaroo Island's Vivonne Bay would come out tops. But with so many long, curved, sandy beaches - perfect for beachcombing, picnics, surfing, swimming or fishing - it's a wonder the Island's other beaches didn't receive similar recognition. |
