Activity 3: Visit Seal Bay to get up close with Australian sea lions
There are no enclosures or cages at Seal Bay. Instead, you will be taken into the heart of the colony where experienced guides will teach you about the Australian sea lion. There is nowhere else in the world where you can listen to an expert give you a unique insight into how these endangered animals hunt, surf, rest, interact with their pups and defend their territory. This is a truly exceptional wildlife experience not to be missed.
Activity 4: Hold a Koala at Kangaroo Island Wildlife Park
The Kangaroo Island Wildlife Park is home to over 150 species of Native Australian wildlife and over 600 animals! From cuddly koalas, to slithery snakes, our feathered friends and everything in between you can see it at the Kangaroo Island Wildlife Park.
Activity 5: Enjoy a Bush BBQ lunch and visit the hidden gem of Stokes Bay
Stokes Bay is one of Kangaroo Islands best beaches. The beach is accessed through a rock tunnel formation. Once you stroll onto this beach you will immediately find a natural rock pool which is great for children to swim safely. For those who like to surf, body surf or explore sheltered coastal inlets while perhaps flicking a fishing line then Stokes Bay Beach is your place.
Activity 6: Visit Flinders Chase National Park, Admirals Arch, Remarkable Rocks
Flinders Chase National Park is a rugged wilderness featuring iconic landmarks such as the world-famous Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch. Enjoy the park and its diverse wildlife on the network of walking trails and experience a stay in a heritage-listed light keepers cottage.
It took 500 million years for rain, wind, and pounding waves to create the Remarkable Rocks - massive granite boulders which are now part of the Flinders Chase National Park.
Admirals Arch is one of Kangaroo Island's most impressive and unusual natural landmarks. It took thousands of years of erosion to create this distinctive rock bridge near the Cape du Couedic Lighthouse on the island's southwest coast. The boardwalk leading to the Admirals Arch is nearly as scenic as the landmark itself.
