Summer

We pick you up from your accommodation and head down to Middleton Beach for a FREE Surf Lesson with all the equipment provided. We enjoy a picnic lunch on the Fleurieu Peninsula and then head to Victor Harbor for some short walks and a look at this picturesque town.

Winter

We enjoy one of our awesome activities depending on the weather such as whale watching, kayaking, wine tasting or beautiful hikes. We then have a delicious lunch followed by a scenic hike in the Victor Harbor area.

After our Fleurieu Peninsula adventures we take you to and from Kangaroo Island on our own charter boat* and as we make our way across backstairs passage, the skipper checks the best spots for dolphins. We drive to our own accommodation, the closest accommodation to the world famous Seal Bay. After settling in, you can enjoy a shower, check out the koalas in the trees and after a big dinner, head out for a nocturnal activity, then sit around the campfire, laugh and toast some marshmallows.

Relax in a comfy couch or hammock, listen to some tunes on the CD player or wander around our farm looking at koalas, kangaroo’s, wallaby’s, possums and other animals. Our accommodation at Kaiwarra (the original Kaiwarra Post Office from 1909 to 1915 on Kangaroo Island) has heaps of fun activities to do and you will find loads of books and other interesting things.

Back to Adelaide

fter an action packed 3 days, we jump back on board our charter boat again searching for dolphins then head back to Adelaide and return you to your accommodation smiling and happy at around 8.30pm.
