Visit Kangaroo Island

Fantastic coastal scenery and a huge variety of wildlife, from seals and sea lions to kangaroos, wallabies, and koalas on a pristine island. To see Kangaroo Island properly, you’ll need at least three days. Though most people only visit the major south-coast attractions: Seal Bay, Little Sahara, Remarkable Rocks, and Flinders Chase National Park. Although promoted as South Australia’s premier tourism destination, it’s still unspoiled. Only in the peak holiday period (Christmas to the end of Jan, when most of the accommodation is booked up) does it feel busy. Once out of the island’s few small towns, there’s little sign of human presence to break the long, straight roads that run through undulating fields, dense gum forests, and mallee scrub.

Kangaroo Island, which sits off the coast of South Australia, is known as a nature lover's dream. It is one of the best things to do in Australia to see wild native animals like koalas, kangaroos, sea lions, and seals. A must-do experience is walking among the Australian sea lion colony at Seal Bay. Winter and spring are the perfect times to visit as the sea lions love to hang out in the dunes away from the sea breeze. You can either wander around on your own or join a guided tour to learn about these endangered animals. There are, of course, kangaroos on the island, and they are actually a specific species of kangaroo that cannot be found on the mainland. Other animals you can find on Kangaroo Island include koalas, wallabies, platypuses, lizards, sea lions, echidnas, seals, and native birds. In addition to the wildlife of Kangaroo Island, you can also see caves, unique rock formations and arches, national parks, beaches, and charming tourist towns.
