"The trip far exceeded my expectations…"

Before I set off on the next stage of my travels tomorrow, I wanted to tell you what a fantastic time I had Thursday and Friday on Kangaroo Island.

The trip far exceeded my expectations and was everything I could have wished for. My aunt was absolutely right when she told me Kangaroo Island was my sort of place.

Thank you so much for your help in the planning stages. Please would you pass on my thanks to Greg, Steve and Roanna for their considerable contributions to such an enjoyable and memorable two days.

Rose, New South Wales

"Best 3 days of my life!"

We had Coralie take us around KI for three days. The first day we were with another couple and the last two we just happen to be alone. I don’t even know how to summarize our experience.

We learned so much about living on KI, the animals (how the people rescue the baby Joeys from a kangaroo‘s pouch if the mom had been killed on the road), the weather, the plants and all about life on this remote and incredible island. The delicious lunches were included and we ate at a variety of beautiful locations.

This was the best tour experience we have ever had. Don’t look elsewhere, book with this company.

"We are still raving on about our time on KI!"

We are still raving on about our time on KI. We have both discovered KI sheep yoghurt in our local shops. A great reminder of our KI visit. As a travel cynic long on cruises, churches, museums, town squares, national dress, etc,

I found Kangaroo Island Wilderness Tours to be equal to and in most cases better than many off shore tourist operations.

You are miles better than other tours that we have been on in Australia. Speedy, along with all the others in the back office, did you proud. Many thanks to all at KIWT.

Andrew, Western Australia

"If you go to KI, go with these guys. You won’t regret it."

If you go to Kangaroo Island get Peter of Wilderness Tours to show you the place. You will come away with a lot more than Seal, Kangaroo, and Koala pictures. You will come away with a feeling that you fit in, that you were not really a tourist only there for a few days.

You will remember Kangaroo Island but more you will remember the trip itself long after the Kangaroos have faded, save for the pictures.

If you go to Kangaroo Island (which you certainly should do) go with these guys. You won’t regret it.

Shore Excursion Details

Seal bay discovery, kangaroo island, australia.

Added to Favourites!

• 4 hrs Estimate Duration

Discover the unique attractions of Kangaroo Island, including its highly endangered Australian Sea Lions, a traditional eucalyptus oil distillery and a honey farm.

A scenic drive across the interior native bush land of Kangaroo Island takes you to beautiful Seal Bay on the southern coast. More than a third of the island is devoted to parkland, and Seal Bay offers the unusual opportunity to walk the Seal Bay boardwalk and see a colony of Australian Sea Lions in their natural environment. Highly endangered, they are the world's rarest sea lion, but easy to recognize by their blunt, dog-like snout and ear flaps. You’ll have approximately 1 1/2-hours to watch and photograph these furry creatures basking in the sun and frolicking in the water.

A different sort of natural attraction awaits you at the Emu Ridge Eucalyptus Distillery, a throwback to the days when distilling eucalyptus oil was one of Kangaroo Island's chief industries. While at the factory and shops, you'll watch a video presentation and commentary from the local masters, and have time to browse for a variety of local products scented with eucalyptus.

Kangaroo Island, Australia

Description.

Kangaroo Island boasts the kind of beauty that will stop you in your tracks. Over half the island is covered with "old-growth" bush land supporting huge populations of kangaroo, koala, goana, wallaby and other native Australian animals. Blessed by vast, open spaces and loads of sun, the "Islanders" raise sheep, create and cellar wines, produce sheep's milk cheese, distill eucalyptus oil, and harvest the honey of the treasured Ligurian Bee. And there is a thriving art community producing internationally-renowned artwork, woolen items, and crafts. The quintessential seaside town of Penneshaw, where cruise ships dock and ferries come and go, is your gateway to it all.
