Kangaroo Island is an island off the coast of South Australia, which can be reached by ferry from Cape Jervis. The island itself is one of the highlights of any trip to South Australia, offering pristine white beaches and pristine shrubs. The island is home to many indigenous animals and wildlife of Australia and provides an excellent opportunity to view them in the wild. Tourists visiting the island of Kangaroo, can return to nature and enjoy activities such as camping, picnics, kayaking, surfing, fishing, landing on the sand and quad. The island gives visitors a chance to get away from it all and avoid the crowds, with a rugged coastline and stunning scenery. Kangaroo Island also has incredible seafood restaurants and local products such as eucalyptus oil and pure organic honey. Visitors can choose an excursion to the island or rent a car and self-service.
With so many beaches and activities, it can be hard to know where to start, so here are some of the best things you can see and do on Kangaroo Island.
Vivonne bay
Vivon Bay in the south of the island has a long curved white sandy beach, which was recognized as the best beach in Australia. It is not difficult to understand why, with such a powder of white sand, which it creaks under your feet, and turquoise water, which makes you feel somehow in the Caribbean. Vivonne Bay is great for picnics, surfing and a lazy day by the sea.
Seal bay
On the fill, you can stand in meters from the Australian sea lions when they bathe in the sun on the beach. This is an incredible opportunity to stand next to the sea lions in the wild, as they rest with the young on the sand. Your excursion team will be accompanied by a National Parks Ranger, who will tell you about the seal colony and how they get here. Watch them and take pictures when they roll in the sand and catch the waves, when they take a break from feeding in the sea.
Wonderful rocks
The wonderful cliffs in the Flinders Chase National Park are not called “Wonderful.” never. The odd-shaped rocks were naturally molded by wind, sea spray and rain for millions of years, although they look as if they could have been formed by a professional sculptor. These unstable boulders make an excellent opportunity for photography with an orange lichen, providing a bright contrast against the bright blue sky. This is a great place to take imaginary photos - you can jump into the air, crawl under them and climb on top of them.
Sandboarding in Mala Sahara
Take a board and go to the landing on the sand in the Little Sahara, near the Bay of Vivonne. A bit like snowboarding, but without snow, you will find yourself on the sand with steep sand dunes all the way to the bottom. If you can make a grueling climb up the sand dune, you can have fun again.
Kingscote, Pilikan Feeding
A pelican man feeds pelicans every day at 5 o'clock on the Kingscote Wharf, making a fun and entertaining conversation through his microphone. Many tourists come to the pier to see it surrounded by hundreds of pelicans while feeding. The show is worth $ 2.
Distillery Eucalyptus
Visit the Emu Ridge Eucalyptus Distillery and learn how they produce and distil eucalyptus oil. Smell the smell of eucalyptus soaring in the air and buy eucalyptus products such as soap and lip balm from the gift shop. Distillery also cares about the orphan kangaroo, which you can love and watch as he is fed a bottle.
Bicycle and Kayak
Kangaroo Island Outdoor Action in Vivonne Bay commits a quad bike, where you can ride an Australian bush on quad bikes and capture breathtaking scenery. If you make a sunset tour, you will most likely see a Kangaroo leap through a bush, as the sun comes. They provide all equipment, including helmets, and riders are welcome for the first time. A tour guide will give you a lot of information about wildlife and surroundings, and you can even see koalas, wallabies, possums, or echids. You can also rent kayaks, and staff will help you run them on the Harriet River. You can ride a few kilometers in the scenery and enjoy a relaxing day.
Honson Bay Koalas
If you have not seen Koala before, this is a great place to see them in its natural habitat. Koala-walk is open daily, and you can see them in the branches of eucalyptus trees. The night tour gives you the opportunity to get up close and in person with some Australian marsupials, as many of them are nocturnal and much more active at night. You can hope to see koalas, tamar ’s wallabies, kangaroos, bats, echids, opossums and the bush-stone rays when they come to life after dark.
Visit the Beehive Island
Island Beehive is located on the main road to Kingscote and sells all types of honey products. Kangaroo Island has the only known colony of pure Ligurian bees in the world, and because of the relatively remote location of the island, bees are disease free. Organic honey produced on the island of Wave is world renowned for its quality and purity, and you can take a group tour of your factory or simply inspect your store. Be sure to try their honeycomb ice cream, delicious!
Stokes Bay
On a windy day, Stokes Cove on the north coast of the island can often serve as a shelter from strong winds. Walk through a small tunnel in the rocks and you will be taken to a beautiful hidden beach with a stone pool, ideal for children to swim.
