2 Day Kangaroo Island Budget Safari

Itinerary

The Tour

Day 1: After an early 6:00am pick-up from Adelaide, we head down to the ferry. Once on the island we head for the South Coast for a wicked day of action, wildlife and wilderness that includes sand boarding at Little Sahara (like snowboarding on sand), surfing and snorkelling at Vivonne Bay and optional quad biking around the bush at sunset. We also visit Seal Bay, where we get up close to the Sea Lions on the beach walk. The night is spent around the campfire at our exclusive bush camp near Vivonne Bay (or the farm house in winter). After cooking an Aussie BBQ feast we take a nocturnal walk and see those animals active at night, including penguins, wallabies and possums.

Day 2: We head for a busy day in the Flinders Chase National Park, the largest on the island. Depending on the conditions we can choose the magnificent Ravine Des Casoars or a selection of shorter hikes. We also visit the famous Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch. Flinders Chase is home to the elusive platypus, vast tracts of untamed wilderness and heaps of other wildlife, which we'll do our best to see lots of. From Flinders Chase we make our way back to Penneshaw and return back into Adelaide at approximately 9:30pm.

Wildlife Commitment

The guides on this tour are committed to finding as much native wildlife as they can in the 2 days, and then providing you with a wealth of information. We see all wildlife in the wild and are one of the few tours who can take you on a private beach walk at Seal Bay instead of a ranger guided tour. Expect to see Kangaroo, Wallabies, Australian Sea Lions, New Zealand Fur Seals, Platypus, Echidnas, Southern Right Whales (in season), Koalas, Dolphins, Brush Tailed Possums, Penguins, Goannas (in season), Cockatoos and lots more.
Our wildlife activities include nocturnal walks, wild penguin viewing on a remote beach (not a penguin parade) and platypus viewing at black swamp lagoon.
