Looking to head to Kangaroo Island?

Don't plan a day tour from Adelaide.
Did you know the drive from Penneshaw to Remarkable Rocks takes 2 hours without stopping?
Just saying, no time to enjoy the wilidlife..... or the local hospitality

Stay overnight, or even better stay 2 or 3 nights. Then you can enjoy a leisurely lunch at the Fig Tree, Snellings Beach for a really special epicurian experience.

There are great accommodation options on the island - from cabins close to Flinders Chase (great for enjoying early mornings or sunsets at Remarkable Rocks), to holiday houses with wildlife at your door, or stay in the towns of Penneshaw, Kingscote or American River.

Adelaide Private Tours can provide touring & transfers, we can even arrange a private Ranger to guide you for a walk among the seal lions on the beach at Seal Bay.

Contact us for ideas & pricing for 1, 2 and 3 night stays.

Beside shimmering water and white sands sits an ancient fig tree to shade you from the hot sun.Step inside and leave the world behind…The Fig Tree at Snelling Beach has been an unmissable part of a true Kangaroo Island experience for years, don’t miss out this summer! A homely Mediterranean-insp...

Holidaying in Adelaide & keen to experience some native foods? Great opportunity to visit the wonderful Red Ochre Restaurant & Grill - just beside the Torrens River. Pleasant walk across the footbridge from North Terrace along the river, or cheap to catch a taxi.... The restaurant also has specials - check on their website
