Natural Highlights

OVERVIEW

Behold the stunning natural beauty of Kangaroo Island, a rugged wonderland that the locals affectionately call K.I. You will concentrate on the island’s southernmost natural phenomena, starting at Remarkable Rocks, a collection of sculpture-like granite boulders that the rain, wind and pounding sea have shaped over millions of years. Nearby Admirals Arch is another erosion-shape coastal landmark within Flinders Chase National Park. From the viewing platform of the rock bridge, you can expect to see brown seals frolicking below. For the ultimate view of the island’s indigenous birds, you will visit Raptor Domain, the only presentation of birds of prey in free flight in South Australia. Wedge-tailed eagles, barn owls and kookaburras are but a few of the rescued and orphaned avian species that have been rehabilitated there. Later, you will enjoy a close-up look at the surfers’ haven Pennington Bay and a sweeping view of the island’s northern coast from Penneshaw Lookout.
