What to Bring:
Itinerary:
Valid for 01APR25-31MAR26:
An early morning pick up from your hotel for a scenic coach journey to Cape Jervis taking in the picturesque Fleurieu Peninsula with its vineyards, coastal views and rolling hills. On arrival, board the SeaLink Kangaroo Island ferry for the 45-minute crossing to Penneshaw on Kangaroo Island. Here you will meet your host, Mark Koolmatrie, a Ngarrindjeri elder and tour guide.
Mark will accompany you on a 45-minute walk in Penneshaw investigating Australia bush foods and bush medicines and he will begin discussing the culturally enriched stories of sites of deep significance. The stories will be from the beginning of the Kalowinyeri (creation) unfolding the layers of history, tales, and traditions of the local tribes to the current custodians of Kangaroo
Island. Your next stop will be the magnificent Pennington Bay, not only a fabulous photo opportunity, but Mark will provide you with more interesting stories of the significance of this place.
Continue onto Emu Ridge Eucalyptus Distillery, where you will enjoy a delicious two-course lunch. After lunch, your next stop will be at Seal Bay Conservation Park for the telling of the sealing industry through Ngarrindjeri eyes and how Pungari the seal is an ancient being and good friend of Kondoli the whale.From here, travel to the western most part of the Island, Flinders Chase National Park. As you travel through the park, keep an eye out for echidnas, wallabies, reptiles, and koalas. See the rugged coastline from walks around Remarkable Rocks and Admirals
Arch. You will hear how Nurrunderi left this world and entered the Kalowinyeri to give the indigenous people life. Remarkable Rocks provide great photographic opportunities, and the Admirals Arch boardwalk takes you down a rugged cliff face to reveal the spectacular rock archway, a natural nursery and haven for playful Long-nosed Fur Seals. You will return to Penneshaw with a light dinner, to meet your return ferry and transfer to Adelaide.
