Kangaroo Island - 3 Days by Groovy Grape Getaways

Tour Itinerary

Our tours start when we pick you up Adelaide and drive towards Kangaroo Island via the Fleurieu Peninsula and experience some fantastic coastal views. We arrive at Cape Jervis and jump on the ferry as we cross the Backstairs Passage to Penneshaw on the island.

From there we start our Kangaroo Island experience with the panoramic views atop Prospect Hill. Our days of action, wildlife and wilderness include up close encounters with sea lions on a beach walk at Seal Bay, sand-boarding at the Little Sahara (like snowboarding on sand) and optional quad biking around the bush at sunset.

Overnight is spent at our private stone cottage near Vivonne Bay and surrounded by kangaroos, possums and the occasional echidna and koala. The nights are spent around the campfire. After dinner, whether an Aussie BBQ feast or some other "tour specialty", we take a nocturnal walk and see those animals active at night, including penguins. Choose to sleep inside in the cottage in bunk beds or under the stars in swags.

We spend time in the Flinders Chase National Park, the largest on the island. We check out the famous Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch before choosing a selection of short hikes. Flinders Chase is home to vast tracts of untamed wilderness, the elusive platypus and heaps of other wildlife, which we'll do our best to see.

With an extra day on the island our 3 day/2 night tour has time to soak up the splendour of the island's beauty and explore hidden beaches, Kelly Hill Caves and more opportunities for bush walking and wildlife spotting.

At the end of the day we make our way back to Penneshaw for the return crossing to Cape Jervis and the drive back into Adelaide, usually arriving at about 8.30pm.
