Kangaroo Island, Adelaide

The discoverer Matthew Flinders was really onto something when he located the deeply rich coastlines of South Australia (SA). After stumbling across Kangaroo Island in 1802, it's a wonder he wanted to explore anything else!

No doubt you too will find the Mediterranean-style weather, protected national parks, unique activities (ever tried sand surfing on a razor sharp dune?), attractions and historical stories of Kangaroo Island enticing enough to seriously reconsider a late checkout - by a few days or more.

In fact, it is recommended that you reserve no less than three days for your Kangaroo Island holiday to absorb all its majestic beauty and natural habitat. You will be agog at the vast range of birdlife and sea mammals that emerge at various stages of all seasons. Remarkably, even New Zealand fur seals like to holiday here on a regular basis!

Tourism on Kangaroo Island is vital, and the Kangaroo Island Council have informative and environmentally-aware programs and services to educate you on how to optimise your fun, whilst preserving the delicate balance of nature for your next visit.

A Kangaroo Island holiday package is probably the most efficient way to ensure that all of your away-from-home needs are taken care of, so a visit to Google may be in order when choosing your accommodation and tours. You could even download a detailed map of Kangaroo Island so that you get busy discovering the island for yourself!

If you are already on the road between Melbourne and Adelaide, make sure you plan for your Adelaide tour to include this spectacular island hop - and remember your binoculars!
