Day 2 & Day 3: Kangaroo Island Touring

Enjoy breakfast this morning before being met by your guide for a full day of touring each day.

Island Life Tour (Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun):

Travel through the Island’s most productive country to the north coast. Walk through the bush with your guide – through strangely shaped trees learning what makes that noise, whose tracks are those, and who left THAT little pile there? Look for small wallabies almost extinct on the mainland, a kangaroo found only on Kangaroo Island and a variety of other birds, plants and animals. Break for lunch at a private bush camp and enjoy a delicious meal featuring King George whiting (local sea fish), fresh salads and fine South Australian wines. At Seal Bay Conservation Park take a private tour with your guide among Australian sea-lions on a beautiful sandy beach – an experience similar to that of the Galapagos. Watch pups nursing or playing in the surf, see old bulls bearing the scars of territorial disputes and learn about their unique breeding biology.

Flinders Chase Focus Tour (Tue, Thu, Sat):

Travel the island’s north-west in an important private wildlife refuge with Kangaroo Island Land for Wildlife. Check out wildlife surveys targeting tiny endangered mammals and get an introduction to the bush, so the fire ecology experienced later in the day has context. Break for an elegant picnic lunch in the bush, featuring marinated poached chicken, fresh salads, cheeses and fantastic South Australian wine, beer, soft drinks and spring water. After lunch, travel into Flinders Chase National Park and explore the massive shapes of Remarkable Rocks, a natural sculpture perched impossibly on top of a dome of granite emerging from the ocean. Evidence of the power of the Southern Ocean swell continues at Admirals Arch – a coastal grotto which provides a haul out for a large colony of Long-nosed fur seals who swim effortlessly through the crashing waves.

Day 4: Depart Kangaroo Island

Enjoy breakfast at your accommodation before your transfer to Kingscote Airport for your return flight to Adelaide.

Day 8-9 : Kangaroo Island - Barossa Valley

Fly back to Adelaide and pick up your rental car. An hour and a half drive from Adelaide you’ll find some of the world’s leading wine makers and best known wines being produced in the country’s premier wine region, the Barossa Valley, where boutique wineries rub shoulders with the world’s best known labels like Penfolds and Peter Lehmann.

Day 10-14 : Adelaide - Sydney

Fly to Sydney and enjoy a 5 night stay discovering this extraordinary city. Defined by the glistening white sails of the opera house and built around one of the worlds finest harbours, Sydney is a world class city with a bustling nightlife, unparalleled dining and enviable beaches. Take a scenic ferry ride across the blue waters of the harbour to Manly, a surf town brimming with local restaurants and bars. Partake in an afternoon surf lesson or take a plunge in the rock pools lining the stretch of famed Bondi Beach. Spend some time in preserved colonial district of the Rocks where you’ll find markets selling hand crafted trinkets or perhaps enjoy a walking tour to learn about the first European ships who arrived here and the challenges these settlers faced. From lively food, prestigious museums, dynamic parks and an iconic skyline Sydney promises an unforgettable experience.
