Kangaroo Island Tours & Trips
Think Kangaroo Island is just about kangaroos? South Australia's island has Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch at Flinders Chase, seal colonies at Seal Bay, and Little Sahara's sand dunes for sandboarding. You'll see kangaroos obviously, plus wallabies, koalas, and echidnas, visit honey farms, and taste local seafood and wines. The island's less developed than mainland tourist spots, and that’s what makes it so wonderful.
