Welcome to Kangaroo Island.
-
Australia's third largest island located about 112 kilometers South West of Adelaide.
-
Kangaroo Island is a wildlife paradise and has some of the best beaches in Australia.
-
You can access KI in two ways.
-
Fly onto the island or take your car across on the ferry which goes multiple times a day.
-
Here's how to have an amazing three days on the island.
-
Day one, drive down the South coast and go sandboarding on the massive sand dunes at Little Sahara.
-
You can rent a toboggan or sandboard and slide down sand dunes which go as high as 70 meters above sea level.
-
It's like going to the snow without being cold.
-
Continue down KI's iconic coastline and stop to see the Australian sea lions at Seal Bay.
-
You can watch them from the boardwalk or get up close on the beach.
-
Stay overnight around Flinders Chase National Park and spend the next day exploring the park.
-
The park is the best place to spot KI's diverse wildlife and has some amazing views.
-
Must visits are Admirals Arch, Cape Du Couedic to see the New Zealand fur seals and the Remarkable Rock formation.
-
The best way to experience the park is to go hiking.
-
There are many trails which take you through KI's diverse landscape and allow you to see wildlife up close.
-
You'll definitely see KI natives such as kangaroos, wallabies, and echidnas.
-
And if you're lucky, you might even see a koala.
-
Next day, it's time to explore KI's North coast which has the island's most spectacular beaches.
-
Definitely stop by Stokes Bay.
-
It may not look like much from the carpark, but follow the signs and crawl through the rock formations to get to one of the island's best beaches.
-
Next up, take a slight detour inland and stop by The Marron Cafe for lunch for some local KI marron.
-
Check out Emu Bay on your way before you end up back in civilization in KI's biggest town, Kingscote.
-
Kingscote is the commercial hub of KI and is home to a large colony of pelicans.
-
There are pelican feedings at the wharf every day and for five Australian dollars, you'll get to see dozens of pelicans come in for a feed.
-
Now rest up in Kingscote and make your way back to the mainland the next day.
