Itinerary
DAY 1
WILDERNESS WILDLIFE

The colony of bulls, cows and pups rests on the beach where you can walk amongst them. A visit to the spectacular and vast sand dunes of Little Sahara. From the South Coast we traverse the rural areas of the middle of the Island via the Parndana Wildlife Park. North Coast beaches, Snellings and Stokes are perfect for a leisurely stroll to enjoy the sound of waves breaking on the pristine, sandy coast. Nature walk through the drooping she-oaks of Lathami National Park and observe the kangaroos and wallabies. This is also the habitat of the rare Glossy Black Cockatoo, and great country for the elusive echidna (spiny ant-eater) The first day's touring concludes with your return to your Island accommodation.
DAY 2
WILDERNESS WILDSCAPES
We pick up from the airport or the clients accommodation. We arrive at Rocky River, headquarters of the Flinders Chase National Park. Here, kangaroos laze and Cape Barren geese graze. The Chase is home to all our varieties of native animals and birds. On to Admirals Arch, an ancient limestone formation close to the ocean, a perfect haul-out area for an active colony of the New Zealand fur seal. To Remarkable Rocks, via the spectacular coastline of Cape du Couedic, where the forces of nature have carved modern sculptures out of the granite. A short bush walk searching for the Echidna (spiny ant-eater) and observing the colourful Kangaroo Island endemic Crimson Rosella. Vivonne Bay, its crystal clear water, supports a colony of the Little Penguin. Your guide takes you to Point Ellen where you fossick for shells on the beach and possibly sight a penguin in its rookery.
