Day 1 : Seal Bay Beach Walk, Kangaroos & Koalas
Fly from Adelaide to Kangaroo Island and meet your guide. Kangaroo Island is a haven for Australian wildlife, which exists in its natural habitat without the threat of introduced predators. Listen to the distinct sounds of the native birdlife as they chorus from the tall eucalyptus trees. Kangaroo Island is home to some 250 species of birds, many of which have developed their own subspecies and are unique to Kangaroo Island. At Seal Bay, home to a healthy Australian sea lion colony, walk among the sea lions as they bask on the beach or among the sand dunes after their extensive fi shing expedition. This is a truly unforgettable experience that you will treasure forever. After a gourmet picnic lunch with wine travel through the island’s interior, keeping an eye out for koalas and echidnas. Explore the spectacular beaches of the north coast and take a bushwalk. Listen for Australia’s rarest cockatoo, the Kangaroo Island glossy black cockatoo and watch for the Tammar wallaby; then as the day draws to a close, see the kangaroos leave the safety of the bush to begin grazing on the open pastures.
Day 2 : Flinders Chase National Park, Remarkable Rocks, Admirals Arch, Fur Seals
Discover the remarkable Flinders Chase National Park, as you walk through the park in search for kangaroos, wallabies and a variety of birdlife. See some of the 10, 000 New Zealand fur seals in their colony at Cape du Couedic and discover the formation of the Remarkable Rocks. See Admirals Arch, admire the Cape du Couedic Lighthouse, then enjoy a gourmet picnic lunch with wine. Enter the Kelly Hill Conservation Park to see kangaroos and other native wildlife emerge from the safety of the bushland to graze on the open plains. Visit Point Ellen and Vivonne Bay before returning to the airport for your flight to Adelaide.
