Itinerary

Penneshaw

Passing by

Host, Mark, will accompany you on a walk in Penneshaw investigating Australia bush foods and bush medicines and he will begin discussing the culturally enriched stories of sites of deep significance. The stories will be from the beginning of the Kalowinyeri (creation) unfolding the layers of history, tales, and traditions of the local tribes to the current custodians of Kangaroo Island.
Seal Bay Conservation Park

45 min Admission included

Your next stop will be at Seal Bay Conservation Park, where you will hear about the sealing industry through Ngarrindjeri eyes and how Pungari the seal is an ancient being and good friend of Kondoli the whale.
Vivonne Bay

1 h 25 min

A delicious two-course lunch will follow your Seal Bay Conservation Park visit. The lunch is based around the telling of the Nurrunderi story, our creator who entered the Kalowinyeri or spirit world and can be seen from Vivonne Bay.
Flinders Chase National Park

1 h 45 min Admission included

From here, travel to the western most part of the Island, Flinders Chase National Park. As you travel through the park, keep an eye out for echidnas, wallabies, reptiles, and koalas. See the rugged coastline from walks around Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch. You will hear how Nurrunderi left this world and entered the Kalowinyeri to give the indigenous people life. Remarkable Rocks provide great photographic opportunities, and the Admirals Arch boardwalk takes you down a rugged cliff face to reveal the spectacular rock archway, a natural nursery and haven for playful Long-nosed Fur Seals.
Penneshaw

30 min

You will return to Penneshaw via coach with a boxed dinner, to meet your return ferry and transfer to Adelaide.
