Getting Around Kangaroo Island

There are so many fantastic places to see on Kangaroo Island and one of the best ways to experience our splendid scenery is to self-drive. 

You can take your own car to Kangaroo Island by ferry or hire a car when you get there.

Exploring Kangaroo Island by car is a wonderful way to travel the 1,600 Kilometers of roads which take you through the major townships. You can expect the majority of our main roads to be sealed,
principally those linking Penneshaw, American River, Kingscote, Parndana and Flinders Chase National Park.

If you wish to go bush, you are welcome to travel on our unsealed roads leading you to tucked away beaches,
natural wildlife habitats and special destinations.

Let us help you find your way by using out KI Map for current operating hours of island food, beverage, attractions and experiences.  You will also find current events and special offers.  You can even build your own itinerary, or take one of our suggested itineraries.
