About this tour
A full-day small-group tour of Kangaroo Island's western wilderness, visiting Flinders Chase National Park and surrounding conservation areas. You'll explore Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch, spot long-nosed fur-seals, and enjoy a cliff-top picnic with local wine. The tour ventures off-track after lunch to seek out wildlife and heritage sites depending on season, with groups of seven or more accompanied by a second guide.
Highlights
- Remarkable Rocks — granite formations rising from ocean, dramatic natural sculpture
- Admirals Arch coastal grotto with long-nosed fur-seal colony in the water
- Picnic lunch on cliff tops with poached chicken, local cheeses, fresh fruit, Kangaroo Island wine
- Off-track exploration for seasonal wildlife — kangaroos, birds, native species
- Grassdale heritage site or pioneer locations depending on time and season
- Morning tea break with conservation history and geology overview
- Raised 4WD vehicle access to remote western wilderness areas
- National park entry fees and all beverages included
What to expect
You'll be picked up from your designated meeting point and driven west towards Flinders Chase, stopping early for morning tea whilst learning about the region's 100-year conservation history. Mid-morning brings you to Remarkable Rocks, where you explore the granite dome and its distinctive formations. You then head to Admirals Arch, a coastal cave system where you watch fur-seals navigate the waves below.
Lunch is a picnic spread — poached chicken, local cheeses, fresh salad prepared on-site, fruit, and a choice of Kangaroo Island wines — eaten on cliff-top or in the bush. Afterward, the guide takes you off the main trails to seek out lesser-known spots: kangaroos resting in grassland, heritage sites like Grassdale, or other wildlife depending on the season. You return to your meeting point by late afternoon.

Good to know
This tour suits wildlife enthusiasts and scenery lovers after a measured wilderness experience rather than a crowded tick-the-box itinerary. The 4WD has a couple of boarding steps, which may challenge very limited mobility or very young children, though infant seats are available. Tours run in all weather — dress appropriately. Flights to the island (daily from Adelaide except Christmas, seasonal from Melbourne from December 2017) are excluded and cost extra. Dietary requirements must be flagged at booking. Groups of seven or more have a second guide. Total duration varies with pick-up and drop-off points.
