Travel south to the western tip of the Fleurieu Peninsula to Cape Jervis, the departure point for the 45 minute ferry journey to Kangaroo Island.
Kangaroo Island is the largest island off the South Australian coast and shows nature at its wildest and most majestic in a magical combination of sun and sea, native flora and fauna. The coastline of the island changes from the attractive curved beach at Emu Bay to the rugged cliffs and roaring surf of the south.
Arrive into the island’s main ferry port, Penneshaw. This will be your base during your time on Kangaroo Island.

Day 2 – Kangaroo Island
There is a never ending list of things to do and see on Kangaroo Island and today you have time to explore the natural beauty of this island and discover Australian wildlife – in the wild!
Flinders Chase National Park is a must, where you’ll find the Remarkable Rocks, Weirs Cove and Admiral Arch, but you may also want to visit Kelly Hill Caves, “Koala Walk” and Seal Bay Conservation Park, where you can walk amongst sea lions.

Day 3 – Adelaide
Depart Kangaroo Island, taking the ferry from Penneshaw to Cape Jervis and return to Adelaide at leisure. As it is approximately a two hours drive, we recommend a visit to South Australia’s Fleurieu Peninsula where you will find a spectacular mix of coastal scenery, iconic vineyards, fine dining experiences and rolling farmland. Visit the striking avant-garde d’Arenberg Cube within the award winning d’Arenberg vineyard or enjoy some cellar door visits to boutique family owned wineries such as Gentree Wines within the McLaren Vale.
Return to Adelaide and perhaps enjoy one of the newly discovered wines at one of the cities’ vibrant restaurants.
