HERE WE LET YOU KNOW THE TOP THINGS TO DO ON A VISIT TO KANGAROO ISLAND, SOUTH AUSTRALIA

If you are in Adelaide then a must-do is to visit Kangaroo Island. Full of amazing native Australian wildlife and beautiful scenery.

Visiting Kangaroo Island can be done on a 2 day 1-night Kangaroo Island tour or even a day trip from Adelaide. You will be a million miles away from civilization when you take the ferry over from Adelaide onto the island.

There are not just Kangaroo’s on Kangaroo Island, there is plenty of other native Australian wildlife to spot, plus the most beautiful scenic views to marvel at. Most abundant are Koalas and Seals. The rare hidden gem would be to spot an Echidna.

The drive from Adelaide to the Ferry Terminal at Cape Jervis will take around 1.5 hours through the picturesque Fleurieu Peninsula. The ferry ride from Cape Jervis to Kangaroo Island is 45 minutes.
