Kangaroo Island Small‑Group Scenic & Wildlife Day Tour

About this activity

Discover Kangaroo Island’s wildlife and coastlines on a relaxed small‑group day tour with a local guide. With a maximum of 11 guests, you’ll have time to actually explore, not just do quick photo stops from a bus.

Visit Seal Bay Conservation Park for a guided beach walk with Australian sea lions, take in the dramatic coastline at Flinders Chase National Park including Admirals Arch and Remarkable Rocks, and enjoy scenic stops such as Vivonne Bay along the way.

Enjoy a café lunch and bottled water along the way, plus return transport from Penneshaw or Kingscote accommodation is included. If you’re arriving on the morning ferry into Penneshaw, you can join the tour there on selected departures, making this an easy option for day‑trippers from Adelaide or Cape Jervis.

Our tour guides take you off the beat and track to find wildlife in their natural habitat.

Come with us as we lead you on a wildlife adventure!

If you purchase the Cruise Ship companies travel insurance, they will not cover external tours.
