DESCRIPTION
Visit Seal Bay and enjoy a guided encounter with the endemic Australian Sealions, a must do experience on Kangaroo Island!
Your day begins with pickup from Penneshaw before your guide takes you on a drive through local bushland to Seal Bay Conservation Park. An unspoiled coastline and a local sealion population makes Seal Bay one of South Australia’s top ten tourist destinations (as voted on Trip Advisor).
Home to an Australian sealion colony for almost 1000 years, you’ll be amazed at the sight of these beautiful local marine mammals as they laze about on the beach. There are no enclosures or cages at Seal Bay, so you get to enjoy these amazing animals in their natural habitat.
You will be greeted by a Seal Bay guide who take you down onto the beach and to the colony itself where you will learn more about these unique animals. Unsure about beach walking? You can choose instead on the day to do a self-guided walk along the 900-metre boardwalk with multiple viewing platforms.
After your guided tour head down to Pennington Bay for a photo op of its amazing rocky coastline and pounding waves. It’s gorgeous aquamarine water and unique rocky formations make for a great photo.
PLEASE NOTE – If minimum tour numbers are not reached the tour will be cancelled. Notification of tour cancellation will be made 48 hours in advance.
