Kangaroo Island

It's an island seven times the size of Singapore. It's a microcosm of different landscapes and environments, with desert dunes, stunning beaches, forests, farmlands, and native wildlife in the wild.

It's Kangaroo Island - and only a stone's throw away from the coast of South Australia, making it your ideal holiday destination.

And when a panel of 522 experts ranked the world's islands by comparing their commitment to sustainable tourism and preserving the environment - Kangaroo Island came out on top. National Geographic Traveler magazine has applauded its natural attractions and sensitivity to the environment - why don't you see for yourself?

On the west coast of Kangaroo Island, where the raging Southern Ocean smashes against impassive rocks, teams of ecologists keep an eye on rare species of seals. And in the east, people relax with a quiet drink and a great meal after a day of watersports, then duck out in time to see little penguins make their nightly pilgrimage to the shore.

Kangaroo Island in Recovery
In 2020 sparked by fires in the Flinders Chase National Park - the island was ablaze - of the 440,500 hectare island, approximately 211,000 hectares were affected by this fire. Kangaroo Island is now in recovery. Nature is not slow to respond - to the reset provided by fire.  The fascinating and dynamic process of nature's recovery is something that really should be seen to be believed.  Visitors to the island will be treated to the unique opportunity of seeing the harsh blackness, already softened by wind and rain with new signs of growth and life.  Wildlife is venturing back to the recovery grounds looking for new food sources and homes, where once they were hidden.
