Itinerary
See MapDay 1: Explore Kangaroo Island
Your journey begins with an early morning pick-up from selected Adelaide hotels between 6:30–6:45 AM. Travel to Cape Jervis while enjoying expert commentary about the area. Board the ferry for a 45-minute crossing to Kangaroo Island. As you sail, enjoy a toasted sandwich and coffee (own cost) or head to the top deck to soak in spectacular views. If you're lucky, you may spot dolphins playing in the bow of the ferry as Kangaroo Island comes into view.
Upon arrival in Penneshaw at 10 AM, your group will embark on a scenic drive through this charming seaside town, known for its tranquil coastline and rolling hills. While we won’t stop here today, it’s a great place to note for a future visit.
Our first stop is the Cygnet River’s Duck Lagoon for a serene 15-minute Koala Walk. Stroll under eucalyptus trees and spot koalas lounging in their natural habitat. Keep an eye out for abundant birdlife as you enjoy this tranquil start to your adventure.
Next, visit Kingscote, the largest town on Kangaroo Island. Take some free time to relax, grab a coffee, or explore the foreshore at your own pace. Kingscote’s charming coastal vibe and quaint shops provide the perfect opportunity to unwind before continuing the journey.
For lunch, we head to the Kangaroo Island Brewery, a rustic and inviting property where you’ll enjoy a delicious platter lunch featuring local Kangaroo Island produce. Sample some of their craft beers while soaking in the scenic surroundings.
Our next destination is the picturesque Emu Bay Lavender Farm, where fragrant fields and a tranquil atmosphere await. Explore the farm, shop for unique lavender-based souvenirs, and take a moment to breathe in the relaxing aroma of this serene retreat.
Continue to Emu Bay Beach for a rejuvenating walk along its pristine coastline. Listen to the gentle lapping of waves and watch for dolphins frolicking in the bay. The soft, white sand and vibrant aquamarine waters provide a stunning backdrop for photography and relaxation.
Before the day winds down, we visit Stokes Bay, a hidden gem along the northern coastline. Swim in the calm, protected waters of a natural lagoon formed by a rocky reef, or simply relax and take in the breathtaking scenery. Watch for dolphin pods that often visit the bay, adding to the magic of this spot.
In the evening, arrive at Eleanor Downs Farm, your overnight accommodation. Enjoy a traditional Aussie BBQ dinner prepared in the rustic Old Shearing Shed. Feast on locally sourced meats, fresh salads, and crusty bread while sharing stories with fellow travelers around the fire pit. Vegetarian options are available. Choose from cozy glamping tents, single beds in shared tents, or sleep under the stars in a traditional Aussie swag for a unique experience.
