Kangaroo Island Tours & Holidays | Intrepid Travel (2024)

With an expert guide by your side, you'll have a good chance of spotting native animals in their natural habitats. Keep an eye out for koalas high in the trees, fur seals sunning themselves on the rocks, echidnas searching for ants and platypus which can often be spotted at the waterholes in the Rocky River region at Flinders Chase National Park.

Named for its rolling dunes that resemble the North African desert, Little Sahara is a must-visit for anyone who wants to admire sweeping views of the spectacular Vivonne Bay. But the fun doesn't stop at the top. To get back down to sea level, why not sandboard or toboggan your way down the slopes (the biggest of which is nearly 70 metres high). Adrenaline rush guaranteed.

Get active and connect with nature on the Wilderness Trail. Fromdense bushland and towering Mallee forests to rugged coastline and vast vistas of the Southern Ocean, walking is a great way to see the island's beauty and explore at your own pace. Keep watch for local bottled-nosed dolphins and seabirds soaring above your head along the coastal sections.

Explore Flinders Chase National Parkand visit famoussites such as Weirs Cove, Harvey’s Return, Admirals Arch and Remarkable Rocks (and remarkable they are!). This unique, 500 million-year-oldrock formation is perched 70 metres above the ocean and could easily be mistaken for amodern art sculpture.

Kangaroo Island is one of the best places in the country to see Australian sea lions. Take a stroll along the boardwalks of the stunning Seal Bay where these intriguing animals have lived in large colonies for thousands of years. You'll observe their behaviour with a ranger and learn all about how they surf, hunt, nurture their pups and defend their territory.

Kangaroo Island's beaches are regularly voted as some of the most beautiful in Australia. The best part? They're lower on the tourist radar so you'll have them (almost) all to yourself. Hop your way between the white sands of Emu Bay, the turquoise waters of Vivonne Bay and the giant rock pool of the secluded Stokes Bay.
