Trip Itinerary:
Day 1: Adelaide to Kangaroo Island
After an early morning bus ride from Adelaide Central Bus Station
(departs 6:45am), travel along the picture-perfect Fleurieu Peninsula
to Cape Jervis for the 45-minute SeaLink ferry ride to Penneshaw,
Kangaroo Island. While crossing, it is not uncommon to have an escort
of local dolphins that can be viewed from the dolphin deck on the
boat. Once you disembark, stop in at Rob's Shearing and Sheepdogs
to check out how sheep are shorn, then continue to Emu Ridge Eucalyptus
Distillery the only commercial eucalyptus distillery in South
Australia. Next up is a visit to the Seal Bay Conservation Park,
where you'll have the opportunity to see rare Australian Sea-lions
up close in a wild breeding colony. Travel on to the white sand
dunes of the Little Sahara, where youll get the chance to give
sand boarding a shot, then arrive at your exclusive accommodation
in Vivonne Bay Lodge. Enjoy some free time to kayak on the Harriet
River, go for a self-guided walk along the propertys tracks, head
out trail bike riding or swimming, or simply kick back along Vivonne
Bay Beach. The locals will come to greet you in the evening, and
by locals we mean the Kangaroos that give this incredible Island
its name.
Note: The coach transfer from Adelaide to the ferry is approximately
1.5 hours, with a sailing time of 45 minutes. On the Island, you
will spend approximately 2 hours in the vehicle with frequent sightseeing.
Walking and active time will depend on which optional activities
you choose in the afternoon.

Day 2: Kangaroo Island to Adelaide
After breakfast, pop into the Hanson Bay Wildlife Sanctuary for
a walk among eucalyptus trees in search of lazing koalas. Next,
continue on to Flinders Chase National Park, arriving at iconic
Remarkable Rocks ahead of the crowds. Ramble across its craggy coastline,
marvel at its dramatic seascapes, and then stop in at Admirals Arch
on Cape Du Couedic to see the resident fur seals frolicking in the
ocean or basking on the rocks. If time and weather permits, there
might be several stops made en route to Penneshaw, where you can
purchase dinner (own expense) before you arrive back in Adelaide.
Note: Driving time whilst on the Island will be the majority of
the day, with constant stops for sightseeing. The ferry Journey
is approximately 45 minutes back to the mainland with a journey
of 1.5 hours back to central Adelaide. Arrival time will be approximately
10:40pm. Walking distances are several hundred metres at each location.
