Our private stone wilderness cottage is located on a 500 acre bush property at Vivone Bay on the South West coast of the island, it borders Cape Kersaint Conservation Park and has access to private coast and beaches. The cottage has bunks in 2 rooms, a kitchen, common area with large open fire, an outdoor campfire and BBQ area and shower and toilet. Its cosy and warm in the winter, cool in the summer and whole property supports an abundance of Native Wildlife.

Our guides are committed to finding as much native wildlife as they can in the 2 days, and then providing you with a wealth of information. We see all wildlife in the wild and are one of the few tours who can take you on a private beach walk at Seal Bay instead of a ranger guided tour. Expect to see Kangaroo, Wallabies, Australian Sea Lions, New Zealand Fur Seals, Platypus, Echidnas, Southern Right Whales (in season), Koalas, Dolphins, Brush Tailed Possums, Penguins, Goannas (in season), Cockatoos and lots more.

Our wildlife activities include nocturnal walks, wild penguin viewing on a remote beach (not a penguin parade) and platypus viewing at black swamp lagoon.

Day 1: Our tour starts bright and early when we pick you up from your hostel in Adelaide at 6am and head along the Fleurieu Peninsula. At Cape Jervis we jump on board the ferry and land you on Kangaroo Island 45 minutes later.

We slowly make our way towards our private Wilderness Cottage located at Vivone Bay on the South West Coast, along the way visiting Seal Bay, where we do a beach walk with the Australia Sea Lions, Hanson Bay (swimming and snorkeling), Little Sahara sand dunes (sand boarding), plus a selection of many other great spots.

After cooking up a BBQ feast at our cottage we head out for a nocturnal walk to see all the animals active at night, this includes Penguins (we see Penguins on a wild beach rather than a commercial penguin parade), rare Tammar Wallabies, Brush Tailed Possums and of coarse Kangaroos. (Meals L,D)

Day 2: We head for Flinders Chase National Park and drop in to Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch, 2 of the islands premier locations, and by visiting these spots nice and early, we manage to avoid the crowds and see these amazing places in solitude.

From here we head for a hike, there is a great selection to choose from and depending on the time of year, weather and group abilities we will select the best for the day, on average they are 2 to 4 km in length, some end at great little beaches where we can swim, others allow us to see wildlife including the elusive platypus.

After lunch at the visitors centre we head for the for the tranquil North Coast, here you have the opportunity to really experience the fantastic coastal views by jumping on a mountain bike for a half hour down hill ride to Western River Cove, one of the prettiest on the island. We then drop into Snellings Beach and Stokes Bay before heading for American River and Penneshaw. In Penneshaw you will have a chance to grab a feed before the ferry departs at 7.00pm, we will normally get you back your hostel between 9.30 and 10 pm. (Meals, B,L)
