About this tour
This 16-hour day tour from Adelaide takes you by coach and ferry to Kangaroo Island, a rugged granite wilderness off South Australia's coast. You'll explore Flinders Chase National Park—home to the wave-sculpted Remarkable Rocks and the sea-arch wonder of Admirals Arch—then walk Seal Bay's beach alongside lounging fur seals. A wildlife park visit and guided commentary from your local driver round out the experience, with lunch included. It's the tightest itinerary for seeing the island's standout attractions in one push.

What to expect
You'll depart Adelaide in the early morning and head to the ferry terminal for the crossing to Kangaroo Island. Once there, the coach takes you straight into Flinders Chase, where you'll spend time at the Remarkable Rocks—massive rounded outcrops that dominate the headland—before moving to Admirals Arch to peer into the sea cave and watch seals below. Mid-morning or lunchtime, you'll stop for your two-course meal. The afternoon centres on Seal Bay, where a ranger leads you down the beach among resting fur seals at close quarters, a rare privilege. You'll also pop into the wildlife park before heading back to the ferry and Adelaide by evening.
Good to know
Wear sturdy walking shoes and bring a light jacket and sun cream; the island's exposed cliffs can catch you off-guard weatherwise. Hotel pick-up from selected Adelaide CBD locations is available on request. Let the tour operator know of any dietary needs at booking. Collapsible wheelchairs are welcome if you have a companion to help you board.
