Why you'll love this trip

  • Visit the Penneshaw Penguin Centre for an evening walk to search for the world’s smallest variety of penguins.
  • Spend a morning with some of the island’s most delightful creatures, the colony of sea lions that have resided at Seal Bay for hundreds of years.
  • You’ll feel like you’re in the deserts of North Africa when you visit Little Sahara, impressing with rolling sand dunes (you can even surf down them if you’re feeling adventurous!).
  • Explore the unique landscapes of Flinders Chase National Park, including the naturally sculpted Remarkable Rocks and the dramatic Admirals Arch.

Is this trip right for you?
  • This trip includes time spent travelling in a private vehicle with your group. Extra space can be tight, and conditions may feel a little cramped. It’s all part of the adventure and a great way to get to know your fellow travellers. Please read the itinerary carefully for travel time estimates.
  • This trip explores Kangaroo Island over 5 days, taking in as many of the sights and experiences as possible. This means that there is little free time for independent exploration and plenty of distance to cover.
  • If you are looking for a shorter snapshot of what Kangaroo Island has to offer, you might like to consider our 2 day Kangaroo Island Short Break Adventure. Search trip code PZAI-C on our website.

This was a fantastic tour with plenty of opportunities to see the local wildlife and spectacular scenery. We were able to relax and sample the local produce as well swim and discover the different landscapes and features of the island.

A great tour that does justice to everything KI has to offer, and that is a huge amount. Our tour guide Kevin's local knowledge, and love of and for the environment is the icing on the cake and a real asset to Intrepid. So glad I chose this tour a not a brief 1- or 2-day stopover.

We really enjoyed our KI trip. Small, fun group who got on well. Our tour guide Kevin was brilliant - he knew so much about the island and was a fabulous guide who went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time.

MARIUS · Traveled November 2023
This tour was well planned, the accommodation was fine and the guide was very knowledgeable and considerate of everyone. One recommendation - provide a small speaker and microphone for the guides. It was difficult or impossible for some of us, especially those toward the back of the van, to hear his comments on the locations as we were travelling.
