Explore the Island
Where to stay
Kangaroo Island more than earns its ranking as Australia’s fourth major tourism icon. You simply can’t beat its wildlife and wilderness. Kangaroo Island (‘KI’ to the locals) is a short flight from Adelaide or a ferry ride from Cape Jervis. There’s so much to do on this island. Explore untouched bushland, fish on pristine beaches, see the wildlife, go on an eco tour or charter. Treat yourself to a long weekend and check out the other natural wonders of Kangaroo Island while you’re here. From Seal Bay to the Ligurian Bee Honey Farm and fishing, sip some award winning KI wines along the way. There are plenty of surprising places on wild and welcoming Kangaroo Island to see after the jockeys have hung up their boots.
