SEAL BAY

The stunning views of the Australian Sea Lion colony and the neighbouring coastline is what makes Seal Bay an essential experience for visitors to the island.

Day 3: Kangaroo Island to Victor Harbor

After breakfast we enjoy the following activities and attractions.

FLINDERS CHASE NATIONAL PARK (REMARKABLE ROCKS & ADMIRALS ARCH)

Travel through the park, enjoying breathtaking views of Yacca Flat and coastal scenery on your way to spectacular Remarkable Rocks. Take a walk around these huge rocks, which have been carved into many different weird and wonderful shapes by the wind and ocean spray over many centuries.

Drive past the ruins of an early settlement at Weirs Cove before going on to the Cape Du Couedic Lighthouse built in 1906, and the natural land bridge that is Admirals Arch”. Look out for the New Zealand Fur Seals frolicking in the water and on the rocks under the arch.

VIVONNE BAY BISTRO

Enjoy a two-course Australian country style lunch.

RAPTOR DOMAIN – BIRDS OF PREY

An amazing and inspiring experience where the birds are flown to display their individual flight and hunting characteristics. The display may involve various birds representative of those found on the Island including: Wedge Tailed Eagles, Osprey, Sea Eagle, Australian Kestrel, Australian Hobby, Tawny Frogmouth and Barn Owls.

PENNINGTON BAY

Pennington Bay is a wonderful surf beach, but extreme care should be used at this spot. Crashing huge waves on the shore can be heard at American River some 9km’s away.

PENNY’S HOTEL

Enjoy a one course pre ferry supper.

We then board Sealink’s Ferry the Sealion 2000 at approx. 7:00pm for a 7:30pm departure for the 45 minute crossing to Cape Jarvis. We then travel to Victor Harbor and check into our Motel for the night.

Day 4: Victor Harbor – Spirit of the Coorong – Mt Gambier

After breakfast we take a brief tour of Victor Harbor. This was originally a whaling centre with three whaling stations in the mid 1900’s and an estimated 400 southern right whales arrived into Encounter Bay each season. Unfortunately these magnificent mammals were destroyed and it’s only in recent years that they have started to return to the bay in increasing numbers.

We make our way through Port Elliot and Middleton with some wonderful views of the coastline as we head towards Goolwa. Goolwa is situated near the mouth of the mighty Murray River where large ships were able to dock. Here we join the Spirit of the Coorong Cruise which will take us on a lunch cruise to Long Point. Our coach will be there waiting here to take you to Mt Gambier and our last night’s stay on this tour.
