Explore Kangaroo Island This Spring

Kangaroo Island is a wild and intrepid place with so much to discover and see. Whether you’re after nature walks admiring the flora and fauna or want to take the action by the horns and go sand boarding or kayaking, this island has it all. Here we give you an over-view of all the amazing things you can do whilst visiting this corner of South Australia.
A trip to Kangaroo Island would not be complete without visiting their most famous inhabitants – The Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch. These rock formations are the stars of the stunning Flinders Chase National Park, located on the intrepid island off the coast of South Australia.

The huge rock formations look almost otherworldly, with their huge, gravity defying mass appearing like an alien form on the horizon. The unusual shape of the rocks is down to the handy work of nature subjecting them to over approximately 500 million years of sea and wind erosion, eating away at their surface to create corrosive arches and holes, and the sheer brilliant orange colour is down to golden lichen that has made its home here. The Remarkable Rocks is also a fantastic vantage point for a Kodak moment with the beautiful Casuarina Islets.
Kangaroo Island offers more than just these stunning rock formations, the island’s diversity means you can take advantage of a myriad of activities whilst visiting. On Kangaroo Island Backpacker Tours there is everything from biking around the rugged landscape to sand boarding the dunes of Little Sahara and even kayaking along the Harriet River, there’s plenty of activities for the active visitor.
