What to expect
Your guide collects you from your hotel early morning (or afternoon, depending on tour timing) in a comfortable 4WD. The drive to Seal Bay takes you through Kangaroo Island's landscape; once there, you'll walk to observe sea lions lounging on the beach in their natural state. Throughout the day, the guide stops at spots where koalas and wallabies are likely to appear, using their local knowledge to position the group for the best sightings.
Lunch is a gourmet BBQ meal — bring details of any dietary needs when booking so the operator can cater for you. Morning or afternoon tea is also provided. The tour winds down with a drive to the North Coast, where you'll have coffee or tea while watching kangaroos at sunset, then return to your hotel by late afternoon or early evening.

Good to know
This suits wildlife enthusiasts and photographers who want a relaxed, small-group experience rather than a large coach tour. You'll need moderate fitness — there's walking involved, particularly around Seal Bay, and the tour is not recommended for anyone with difficulty walking. The 8-hour duration and late finish mean it's unsuitable for cruise ship passengers catching the last tender off the island. Bring sunscreen, a hat and comfortable walking shoes; weather on the island can be changeable. Hotel pickup covers selected accommodation only — check availability when booking. The child rate applies only when a child shares a booking with two paying adults; children must always be supervised. A minimum of two paying adults is required for the tour to run. Souvenir photos are available to purchase separately; water is provided but you may want to bring extra. Luggage is limited to one small bag per person.
