Kangaroo Island
Don’t miss out on this natural haven 16 kilometres off the tip of the Fleurieu Peninsula, 120 kilometres south of Adelaide and just 45 minutes from the mainland. With over 480 kilometres of coastline the island is the third largest off the Australian mainland.
Kangaroo Island can be reached by a 30-minute flight from Adelaide or a 45-minute trip by vehicle and passenger ferry which departs daily from Cape Jervis, a 90-minute drive south of Adelaide.
First discovered in 1802 by English explorer Matthew Flinders, deserters from English and American whaling ships were the first settlers on Kangaroo Island, prior to its official settlement in 1836.
The isolation of the island makes it a haven for rare wildlife and a unique wilderness holiday destination. The pure air and clean water makes it one of the last unspoiled wonders of the world.
Wildlife abound. Whether you are on a self-guided tour or choose to have a guide, dolphins, sea lions, penguins, wallabies, goannas, koalas, and, of course, kangaroos are easily accessible.
Stay a few days, or a few weeks, depending on your own time and the pace at which you wish to travel. Country hospitality abounds on Kangaroo Island.
