Kangeroo Island

KANGAROO ISLAND

Wild by nature—where the animals outnumber the people.

Overview
Just a short ferry ride from mainland South Australia, Kangaroo Island feels worlds away. A haven for wildlife and raw coastal beauty, it offers windswept cliffs, pristine beaches, ancient forests, and a slow-paced, nature-first lifestyle. Conservation is central here—Kangaroo Island is one of the best places in Australia to see native animals up close, from sea lions to echidnas, koalas to kangaroos. Add in gourmet produce and welcoming locals, and you’ve got a truly memorable escape.

See and Do

The local favourite
Walk among sea lions at Seal Bay Conservation Park, one of the only places in the world where you can observe these wild creatures at close range, right on the beach.

A scene of pure natural beauty
Explore the windswept cliffs and rock formations of Flinders Chase National Park, where you’ll find the dramatic Admirals Arch and surreal sculpted shapes of Remarkable Rocks.

Adventures in nature
Take a nocturnal wildlife tour, kayak along sheltered bays, or visit secluded beaches with not a footprint in sight. Sample honey from the island’s pure Ligurian bee population, and meet local producers of cheeses, wines and spirits.
