DAY 01: Adelaide to Kangaroo Island

From Adelaide Airport take the flight to Kingscote on Kangaroo Island and on arrival collect the vehicle. Kangaroo Island is the largest island off the South Australian coast and shows nature at its wildest and most majestic in a magical combination of sun and sea, native flora and fauna. The coastline of the island changes from the attractive curved beach at Emu Bay to the rugged cliffs and roaring surf of the south. On the west are two of the island’s natural wonders; Admirals Arch, a huge arch where stalactites are silhouetted against the afternoon sun, a magnificent sight. The other is Remarkable Rocks, huge unusually shaped granite boulders.

 

DAY 02: Kangaroo Island

There is a never ending list of things to do and see on Kangaroo Island and today you have time to explore the natural beauty of this island and discover Australian wildlife – in the wild! Highlights include Flinders Chase National Park, Kelly Hill Caves, the “Koala Walk” and the seals at Seal Bay.

 

DAY 03: Kangaroo Island to Adelaide

More time to explore the Island before dropping the vehicle off at Kingscote Airport for the return flight to Adelaide.

Continue through the Otway National Park to Apollo Bay.

 

DAY 09: Apollo Bay to Melbourne (183 km)

The scenic coastline from Apollo Bay to Lorne has been described as one of the most beautiful and breathtaking drives in the world.
