Your Itinerary

Day 1 Melbourne - Warrnambool

Begin your morning with a tour of Melbourne’s laneways, taking in the city’s colourful street art, before leaving the city to join the Great Ocean Road. Enjoy one of the world’s most epic journeys, taking in the spectacular coastal scenery and pausing in the quaint seaside towns of Lorne and Apollo Bay. Just off shore in the Port Campbell National Park, the towering limestone stacks of the Twelve Apostles rise 50 metres above the wild Southern Ocean. You’ll also see nearby Loch Ard Gorge and visit the impressive London Bridge natural rock formation before arriving in the rural town of Warrnambool.

Hotel: Deep Blue Hotel & Hot Springs, Warrnambool
Meals: Breakfast and dinner

Day 2 Warrnambool - Naracoorte

The south’s volcanic history bubbles to the surface at Tower Hill Wildlife Reserve, an immense natural wonder spanning a dormant volcanic crater. You’ll learn about the area’s flora and fauna – including emus, kangaroos, koalas and echidnas – with an Aboriginal guide. More volcanic history awaits across the South Australian border in Mt. Gambier, home to the crater-filling Blue Lake. At Coonawarra’s wine region it is possible to sample a world-class shiraz or merlot. Your final adventure is Naracoorte’s Alexandra Cave, a maze of delicate needle-like stalactites and massive twisting columns.

Day 3 Naracoorte - Kangaroo Island

Journey today to the Fleurieu Peninsula, where rolling hills are complemented by rugged clifftops, sandy beaches and the winding Murray River. Visit the charming seaside town of Victor Harbor before a ferry takes you to Kangaroo Island, famous for its unspoiled natural beauty and fine produce. Visit South Australia’s only boutique distillery to taste a selection of award-winning Australia gins and ales. Your final destination is Kingscote, South Australia’s oldest European settlement.

Day 4 - Kangaroo Island

First stop on your tour of Kangaroo Island truly deserves its name: the orange-lichen-clad Remarkable Rocks command your attention over the blazing blue of the Southern Ocean. Then there’s Admirals Arch, home to an immense colony of raucous fur seals and a very photogenic lighthouse.

Begin your exploration of fascinating Kangaroo Island today with a visit to the aptly-named Remarkable Rocks and then Admiral’s Arch, home to a large colony of raucous fur seals. Enjoy a delicious lunch at Vivonne Bay before joining a ranger at Seal Bay Conservation Park for a guided walk among a colony of rare sea lions in one of the country’s most important breeding colonies.
