Kangaroo Island Highlights – Selected By Kangaroo Island Adventure Tours
Kangaroo Island Adventure Tours
Kangaroo Island is arguably the best place in Australia to see wildlife in its natural habitat. With Kangaroo Island Adventure Tours, you can walk amongst a colony of Australian sea lions at Seal Bay as these amazing creatures doze in the sun after lengthy fishing forays in the Southern Ocean. Explore amongst the huge weather-sculptured granite boulders at Remarkable Rocks or roll, climb and sand board down the snowy-white dunes of Little Sahara, a series of spectacular dunes that rise out of bushland or back ridges. Dodge the wildlife as you hike through dense bushland to a secret beach spot along the island’s coast
For the adventurous, Kangaroo Island Tours offers exciting nature and adventure tour experiences that you will love to tell your friends and fellow travellers about.

Best Attractions on Kangaroo Island
Sand-boarding at Little Sahara
With an epic mixture of dune sizes (the highest being around 70 metres, Little Sahara), it is for the adrenaline junkies on Kangaroo Island Backpacker Tours. South Australia tourist attractions don’t come more outlandish than this. Guides on Kangaroo Island provide sand boards and sledges; if you are willing, they’ll fling you down the highest dunes you can find!
Seal Bay
One of Kangaroo Island’s most famous and most visited attractions (Seal Bay) is home to a massive population of Australian Sea Lions. Exploring this part of Kangaroo Island offers a once-in-a-lifetime Sea lion experience in their natural environment.
Vivonne Bay
Kangaroo Island Vivonne Bay is famous for its incredible white sandy beach, the Harriet River and Bay Jetty. Whilst at Vivonne Bay, you can explore underwater ecosystems whilst snorkelling and discover Kangaroo Island’s marine life. There is also an additional chance for fishing from the jetty or the beach. You can even find yourself stand-up paddleboarding!
Pennington Bay
Another famous attraction is, of course, Pennington Bay. Located on the southern coast of Kangaroo Island, Pennington Bay is well known for its surf, making this epic beach popular amongst both backpackers and Australian surfers. Pennington Bay is pleasing to the eye, and so it is a perfect photo opportunity to capture the real, authentic beauty of Kangaroo Island.
Admirals Arch
Admirals Arch is one of the Island’s most restful and bizarre natural land formations. Forming over thousands of years through erosion, this process has sculpted a unique rock bridge on the Kangaroo Island southwest coast. Leading you to the Arch is a boardwalk with many beautiful sites, including viewpoints to watch the New Zealand Fur Seals, where, during the summer months, you can see the seal pups playing in the shallows.
The Flinders Chase National Park
The Flinders Chase National Park is an impressively rugged wilderness with famous landmarks like the world-renowned Admirals Arch and Remarkable Rocks. This park has diverse wildlife that can be seen on the network of walking trails. Naturally, this is likely the best place to see kangaroos and baby joeys on Kangaroo Island. This massive switch-up from Adelaide to Kangaroo Island is an excellent opportunity to connect with the wildlife and take a break from the concrete jungles.

Kangaroo Island Wildlife
The Kangaroo Island wildlife is so diverse, vast, and incredible that it easily compares to the rest of South Australia’s wildlife. There are so many animals to see on this small pocket of land off the coast of South Australia.
Kangaroos
Kangaroo Island has a species of kangaroo in its lush land. They’re shorter and broader than their relatives on the mainland and browner in colour. These Kangaroos have been protected from human interaction, except for travellers visiting with tour companies.
New Zealand Fur Seals
Although the name would suggest otherwise, the New Zealand Fur Seal is a native species to South Australia. They gather in the hundreds at the stunning rock formations in Flinders Chase National Park.
Australian Sea Lions
Australian Sea Lions are only found in South Australia and Western Australia. The species is still recovering from its threatened status. Females can spend up to three days swimming out to sea, hunting and feeding, before returning to the beach, where their pups await feetime.
Black Swans
By far one of the most elegant and graceful creatures on Earth, Black Swans live in the southern regions of Australia. They journey between salt and freshwater wetlands to find abundant nesting materials.
Koalas
Overpopulation is an uncommon adversity that Koalas have faced since being introduced to Kangaroo Island. It was once a familiar sight to see Koalas suffering from starvation, as the competition for food was too high for fair feeding on gum leaves. In recent years, sterilisation programs have helped repress population levels, making Kangaroo Island a place where you can now see well-fed Koala Bears in all their glory.
Whales and Dolphins
The whales visit between May and October whilst migrating into the warmer waters off the South Australian coast. Whale watching on Kangaroo Island will most commonly present you with the Southern Right Whales but there are also sightings of Sperm Whales, you may even see Humpback Whales on Kangaroo Island, and from time to time there are Blue Whales spotted.
Dolphins on Kangaroo Island can be seen all year round, which is a common endeavour for tourists travelling to Kangaroo Island. Very occasionally, Orca Whales have been spotted off the Kangaroo Island Coast.
