Day 1: Adelaide to Kangaroo Island

Today, there's an early start to catch your 6.45 am SeaLink bus transfer from Adelaide CBD to the ferry terminal at Cape Jervis. Board the ferry for a 45-minute cruise to Penneshaw on Kangaroo Island. Your Untamed Escapes Guide will meet you here and give you an overview of the adventure ahead for the next few days. Throughout your tour, you'll also have the opportunity to become a citizen scientist and contribute to conservation efforts and research on the island in partnership with Passport to Recovery. You can download the App on the way over on the ferry, so you're ready to go!

Hop on board the bus and take a scenic coastal drive to Pennington Bay on the island's south coast. With powerful swells rolling in, this beach is famed for its epic surf breaks. Climb the 500 steps to the top of Prospect Hill, the highest point on Kangaroo Island, for
rewarding views and to get your bearings.

Kangaroo Island is the world's oldest bee sanctuary and is home to the only pure strain of Ligurian Bee in the world. Pop into a honey farm to learn all about these fascinating creatures and, of course, do a tasting. We'll have a picnic lunch here before setting off to Emu Ridge
Eucalyptus Oil Distillery and family-owned Dudley Wines, where you can sprawl out on their lush lawns and take in the incredible views over the ocean - the perfect place to relax and connect with your fellow travellers.

Come late afternoon, arrive at our campsite, aptly named "Happiness". Featuring private access to one of Kangaroo \Island's most stunning beaches - Antechamber Bay, you'll be right at home here for the next two nights. Enjoy some free time to relax or take a walk down to
the beach.

Tonight, roll out your swag underneath the billions of stars of the Milky Way and feel an incredible connection with nature.

Day 2: Kangaroo Island

After breakfast, it's time for an incredible wildlife encounter. Seal Bay is home to the third-largest colony of endangered Australian sea lions, with around 800 calling the bay home. Join a 45-minute tour with the National Parks & Wildlife guides, who know pretty much everything there is to know about these beautiful creatures. Follow a boardwalk through the dunes down to the beach, and on the way, pass sea lions
snoozing or even lying in the middle of the beach path and learn about conservation efforts to save this endangered species.

Next, we'll set our coordinates for the iconic Flinders Chase National Park, located at the northwestern point of the island. This park is renowned for its rock formations, impressive beaches, and abundant wildlife.

At Admirals Arch, wander along a boardwalk as you soak up the serenity and keep your eyes peeled for the resident New Zealand fur seals. Marvel at the Remarkable Rocks, shaped by nature for over 500 million years.

After a full day, head back towards camp for some free time to reflect and relax before dinner.

Today, we drive approximately 340 km.
