DESCRIPTION
Immerse yourself in a day of Australian wildlife, gorgeous scenery, and some of Kangaroo Islands most iconic nature locations.
First, we head to Emu Ridge Eucalyptus Distillery the only commercial Eucalyptus Oil distillery in South Australia. Emu Ridge produce a unique 100% pure Australian Eucalyptus Essential Oil, which they extract exclusively from the Kangaroo Island Narrow Leaf Mallee. You’ll get to sit and enjoy a morning tea while you keep an eye out for the local Emu’s.
After your morning tea your journey continues as you head into Flinders Chase National Park. The parks must-see sights include Admirals Arch, a beautiful natural rock arch shaped by the powerful Southern Ocean, and the sculptured granite boulders known as Remarkable Rocks. Remarkable really is the best way to describe this incredible sight. Formed 500 million years ago by rain, wind and the pounding seas, this collection of granite boulders is a lot of fun to explore.
From Flinders Chase National Park you head on to Vivonne Bay. Voted one of Australia’s top beaches Vivonne Bay is a great place to take the time to admire sweeping coastal views and crystal-clear waters (and get in a few photos!). Your lunch stop will be here at the Vivonne Bay Store.
Next stop on this day of wildlife and sights is the Kangaroo Island Raptor Domain. You’ll enjoy the change to get up close and personal with some of the most beautiful but deadly birds in the world. Experience a private 30-minute display with the chance to meet some famous feathery locals such as Jedda the majestic Wedge-Tailed Eagle, Casper the friendly Barn Own or Banjo and Clancy the laughing Kookaburras. Interactive and educational your experience will also highlight the work Raptor Domain does to protect and conserve birdlife and reptiles.
Having ticked off a bucket list worth of sights on Kangaroo Island, sit back, relax and enjoy the scenic drive back to Penneshaw.
