Local Flavor at Kangaroo Island. On the Island Hop on board the bus and take a scenic coastal drive to Pennington Bay on the island's south coast. With powerful swells rolling in, this beach is famed for its epic surf breaks. Climb the 500 steps to the top of Prospect Hill, the highest point on Kangaroo Island, for rewarding views and to get your bearings. Kangaroo Island is the world's oldest bee sanctuary and is home to the only pure strain of Ligurian Bee in the world. Pop into a honey farm to learn all about these fascinating creatures and, of course, do a tasting. We'll have a picnic lunch here before setting off to Emu Ridge, Eucalyptus Oil Distillery, and family-owned Dudley Wines, where you can sprawl out on their lush lawns and take in the incredible views over the ocean - the perfect place to relax and connect with your fellow travelers. Come late afternoon, arrive at our campsite, aptly named "Happiness". Featuring private access to one of Kangaroo \Island's most stunning beaches - Antechamber Bay, you'll be right at home here for the next two nights. Enjoy some free time to relax or take a walk down to the beach.

Eco Tour at Kangaroo Island. Making new friends After breakfast, it's time for an incredible wildlife encounter. Seal Bay is home to the third-largest colony of endangered Australian sea lions, with around 800 calling the bay home. Join a 45-minute tour with the National Parks & Wildlife guides, who know pretty much everything there is to know about these beautiful creatures. Follow a boardwalk through the dunes down to the beach, and on the way, pass sea lions snoozing or even lying in the middle of the beach path and learn about conservation efforts to save this endangered species.

Eco Tour at Kangaroo Island. National park within the island Next, we'll set our coordinates for the iconic Flinders Chase National Park, located at the northwestern point of the island. This park is renowned for its rock formations, impressive beaches, and abundant wildlife. At Admirals Arch, wander along a boardwalk as you soak up the serenity and keep your eyes peeled for the resident New Zealand fur seals. Marvel at the Remarkable Rocks, shaped by nature for over 500 million years. After a full day, head back towards camp for some free time to reflect and relax before dinner. Today, we drive approximately 340 km.

Day 3
Adelaide
Eco Tour. Leaving More than a footprint Start the final day of your tour with a morning bush walk not far from camp, and after packing up, we'll bid farewell to Happiness. Along the quiet north coast of the island, find spectacular bird life in the lagoon's shallow, calm waters and trees. Here, we will find a spot to have our final meal together, followed by a nice stroll along the water, looking for the many different species that inhabit the American River. In the warmer months, weave your way through a labyrinth of caves before emerging at the beach voted best in Australia in 2023 – Stokes Bay. If the weather is right, enjoy some free time to snorkel among the rock pools or soak up the surrounding landscape. The National Trust of South Australia cares for the world's natural and built heritage and relies on the support of volunteers to protect and preserve special places. So, this afternoon, roll up your sleeves for some conservation volunteering at Zelling Reserve—an important wildflower sanctuary preserving native flora on the eastern end of Kangaroo Island. Our activity depends on the time of year but could involve collecting seeds, weeding, or planting trees whilst learning from their passionate volunteers.
