Kangaroo Island: Sea Lions, Remarkable Rocks & Wilderness

Fly or ferry to Kangaroo Island for an immersive encounter with wild Australian sea lions on a pristine beach, followed by the surreal granite formations of Remarkable Rocks inside Flinders Chase National Park.

What to expect

Board the Sealink ferry from Cape Jervis (or a light aircraft for the premium option) and cross to Australia's third-largest island. At Seal Bay Conservation Park, your certified naturalist guide walks you onto the beach where wild Australian sea lions rest, play, and nurse pups just metres away. Remarkable Rocks delivers one of the most otherworldly landscapes in the Southern Hemisphere — towering orange lichen-clad granite boulders balanced above sheer coastal cliffs. A private gourmet picnic lunch with local KI produce, honey, and wine is served in the national park. Wallabies, echidnas, and goannas are virtually guaranteed sightings en route.

Good to know

This is a full-day excursion (10–11 hours); confirm your ship's all-aboard allows sufficient time. Pre-book the Sealink ferry or light aircraft well ahead. A day at Kangaroo Island is best suited to port days where all-aboard is 9 pm or later.
