Good to Know
This is a full-day experience with pickup from Adelaide. The tour includes ferry crossings and coach transport around Kangaroo Island, so you'll spend considerable time travelling. Bring comfortable walking shoes for beach walks and bushland trails, plus weather-appropriate clothing as island conditions can change quickly.
The ranger-guided walk at Seal Bay involves walking on sand, and you'll be doing moderate walking at various stops throughout the day. A camera is recommended for wildlife photography and scenic shots at Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch. Restroom facilities are available at multiple stops during the tour.
