Discover Kangaroo Island’s spectacular wildlife, stunning landscapes and maritime heritage on a west-end wilderness expedition. Journey into Flinders Chase National Park to discover the aptly named Remarkable Rocks, visit historic Cape du Couedic Lighthouse and spy on the resident fur seal colony at Admirals Arch, a magnificent coastal grotto.
Seal Bay
Seal Bay Conservation Park is home to Australia’s third largest colony of Australian sea lions. Join the lodge guide on the shores of the Southern Ocean for a walk among these endangered animals (a true KI privilege!) while learning about their unique breeding cycle and the ongoing research programs implemented on site.
Coastal Clifftop Walk
Step out for a guided walk traversing the limestone cliffs of Hanson Bay. Enjoy a bird’s eye view of the Southern Ocean swell below while learning about the diverse coastal ecology and the resilience of the Australian bush. Back at the lodge, join an interpretive presentation delving into Kangaroo Island’s discovery and fascinating natural heritage.

Southern Sundowners
As the sun dips below the horizon, journey to a nearby bushland sanctuary. Sip South Australian beverages and nibble on snacks while the last rays of sunlight cast a dusky glow over the landscape. Twilight signals the time for shy-by-day marsupials to venture out from their resting spots to graze in the open grassland.
Nocturnal Explorer
Venture to Hanson Bay Sanctuary to experience a very different kind of nightlife - the sights and sounds of Kangaroo Island after dark. Spot koalas at their most active and encounter kangaroos, wallabies and possums up close. Learn about their behaviours whilst searching for other nightloving wildlife including owls, bats and echidnas.
Bespoke experiences

Hike the wild isle from Remarkable Rocks back to the lodge, visit island providores at the source, cuddle a koala or walk among sea lions on the beach at sunrise. Activities operate on a private basis.
