Itinerary

OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES A selection of optional activities that have been popular with past travellers are listed in the day-to-day itinerary. This isn't an exhaustive list and should be used as a guide only for some of what might be available. Prices are approximate, are for entrance fees only, and don’t include transport to and from the sites or local guides unless indicated. All activities are subject to availability, and may be on a join-in basis. It may not be possible to do all the activities listed in the time available at each destination, so some pre-planning for what you are most interested in is advised. When it's recommended that travellers pre-book these activities, look for a note in the Special Information section of the day-to-day itinerary. For most, they can either be organised independently on the day, or let your group leader or local representative know you are interested at the Welcome Meeting and they can assist. Where activities are considered medium or high risk, we work with operators whose safety and credentials we have sighted and assessed. Although it is possible that you may find the same activity cheaper with another operator on the ground, we cannot vouch for the safety or quality of that operator. Medium and high-risk activities not listed above have not been assessed by us and as such our staff and group leader or local representative are unable to assist you with organising these activities. Activities that contravene our Responsible Travel policies are also not listed. Please remember that the decision to partake in any activity not listed is at your own discretion and risk., ITINERARY CHANGES Our itineraries are updated regularly throughout the year based on customer feedback and to reflect the current situation in each destination. The information included in this Essential Trip Information may therefore differ from when you first booked your trip. It's important that you review this information prior to travel so that you have the latest updates. Due to weather, local conditions, transport schedules, public holidays, political unrest or other factors, further changes may be necessary to your itinerary once in-country. Your group leader or local representative will keep you up to date with any such changes once your trip is underway and has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the trip itinerary if deemed necessary due to safety concerns. , ABORIGINAL & TORRES STRAIT ISLANDER CULTURAL EXPERIENCES & COMMUNITIES First Nations people have complex community obligations, and at times activities or experiences may be cancelled at late notice due to cultural commitments. In the case that we are unable to include planned activities with First Nations communities, we will endeavour to find a suitable alternative in the same or another destination on your trip.

Day 1 - Adelaide
Welcome to Adelaide! Or Tandanya, in the language of the Kaurna people, who are the Traditional Custodians of the land on which Adelaide is now located. Your adventure starts with a welcome meeting at 9 am this morning, then you’ll travel to Cape Jervis. From here, jump on a ferry to Penneshaw on Kangaroo Island – keep an eye out for dolphins swimming alongside the ferry! When you dock, it's a short walk to your hotel, where you can drop your luggage, then maybe get to know your group over lunch. This afternoon, set off on the Kangaroo Island Sculpture Trail with your local leader and take in the panoramic views overlooking Hog’s Bay as you walk. This evening, visit the Penneshaw Penguin Centre for an evening walk in search of the world’s smallest variety of penguins.
Day 2 - Penneshaw
Kangaroo Island is Australia’s third-largest island and a paradise for wildlife lovers. It’s not just kangaroos you can find here – wallabies, sea lions, echidnas and sheep live here too! This morning, visit the Cape Willoughby Lighthouse for a self-guided tour. Built in 1852, this is South Australia’s oldest lighthouse. You'll also go on a short headland walk to a sheltered gully where you can learn about the daily lives of the early lightkeepers who worked here. For lunch, head to a winery for a tasting. Hear about this family-owned winery’s sustainability practices as you sample their wines paired with a seasonal menu. Next, continue to American River for a tour of the Rebuild Independence Group Boathouse – a museum run by a community group preserving the local maritime history. You’ll see a replica of the first vessel built in South Australia in 1803. After, go on the Fish Cannery Walking Trail. This walk takes you through coastal scrub to reach the ruins of a fish cannery from the 1890s. Keep an eye out for glossy black cockatoos along the way.
Day 3 - Kingscote
After breakfast, venture into Flinders Chase National Park. Set off on a walk to come face to face with the aptly named Remarkable Rocks, made up of naturally sculpted granite boulders. You’ll also check out the impressive Admirals Arch and take some time to explore the park. Later today, you’ll return to Kingscote and enjoy an evening at leisure.
Day 4 - Kingscote
Start the day with a visit to Seal Bay. There are no actual seals here, but there are plenty of sea lions! The sea lion colony you see today has existed at Seal Bay for thousands of years. Join an up close and personal ranger-led wildlife experience which will allow you to observe the lives of these endearing creatures as you watch them swim, play and bask in the sun. Next up is something really special – head to Vivonne Bay, which is not only one of the most stunning beaches on Kangaroo Island but the whole of Australia. You’ll also hop between Snelling Beach, Emu Bay Beach and the secluded Stokes Bay – a gorgeous spot for a swim and voted Australia's most beautiful beach in 2023.
Day 5 - Adelaide
Visit Prospect Hill, where you’ll climb 500 steps to reach the highest point on Kangaroo Island for some epic views looking out over Pelican Lagoon and Pennington Bay. Get ready to say goodbye to Kangaroo Island as you make the drive back to Penneshaw and catch the ferry back to the mainland. Dock in Cape Jervis for your trip back to Adelaide, where your trip comes to an end. If you’d like to stay in Adelaide longer, just speak to your booking agent ahead of time.
