Leave the mainland behind and go off grid on an unforgettable three-day adventure through Kangaroo Island, one of Australia’s wildest landscapes. Travel in a small group with expert local guides, hiking dramatic coastlines, exploring Flinders Chase National Park and getting up close with endangered sea lions at Seal Bay. Spot koalas, taste local honey and coastal wines, and sleep beneath star-filled skies.
Go beyond adventure with hands-on conservation through our Passport to Recovery partnership, meaningful beach clean-ups and optional wild dolphin or seal snorkelling. With fewer crowds and seasonal wildlife, April, May and September offer a slower, wilder side of the island, with itineraries adapting to weather and conditions while all advertised inclusions remain the same.
