Day 1. Adelaide to Kangaroo Island. Make your own way to Adelaide Airport for your morning flight to Kangaroo Island. Upon arrival you will be met by your knowledgeable local guide for 2 Days of luxury 4WD touring.

Visit the Red Gum forest along the Cygnet River valley - seek out koalas sleeping in the forks of the trees. Travel through some of the best wool-producing areas on the Island to a conservation park on the north coast. Here we take a walk through the habitat of Kangaroo Island kangaroos, tammar wallabies and the endangered glossy black cockatoo.

Enjoy a delicious seafood barbeque lunch served with fine South Australian wines before heading to a colony of Australian Sealions. At Seal Bay Conservation Park walk with your guide among sealions on a beautiful sandy beach. Watch pups nursing, or playing in the surf, see old bulls bearing the scars of territorial disputes and learn of their unique breeding biology.

In the afternoon visit Cape Gantheaume Conservation Park including D'Estrees Bay - where ospreys nest, and kangaroos come out late in the day to feed. At the end of the day you will be transferred to your overnight accommodation. LD

Day 2. Kangaroo Island to Adelaide. Today you will visit Flinders Chase National Park. The park is a 74,00 hectare (190,000 acre) wilderness which covers the entire west end of the Island. Visit Rocky River Homestead - originally a small farm and now the Park headquarters. This area is home to kangaroos, wallabies, possums, goannas, echidnas, koalas, platypus and many birds including the rare Cape Barren Goose.

At Cape du Couedic on the south-west tip visit a New Zealand fur seal colony which is rapidly expanding. These animals can be observed at rest on the rocks or frolicking in the surf under Admirals Arch - a spectacular coastal grotto. On the headland above is Cape du Couedic Lighthouse which plays an important role in navigation. Further down the coast explore Remarkable Rocks, huge natural granite sculptures on the cliff top.

Lunch today is a picnic in the bush before exploring more of the Island. Depending upon the day we might take a walk to a secluded cove, or watch for a platypus by a quiet pool. Return to the eastern end via Vivonne Bay, one of the few protected bays on the south coast. BL
