From breathtaking scenery and natural wonders to an abundance of wildlife species, there is no wonder why Kangaroo Island is known as nature’s playground.

Here are our top things to do and see on the incredible Kangaroo Island…

Eat + Drink

From cellar doors, to microbreweries and gin distilleries, to award winning restaurants and seafood hubs, Kangaroo Island has it all.  Some of our top picks include:

• Kangaroo Island Spirits – an award-winning boutique distillery for good reason, check out their handcrafted liquors using fresh, local botanicals.
• Bay of Shoals Wines’ – offers spectacular views, and they’re just give minutes away from Kingscote!
• Dudley wines – A family owned business, Dudley Wines can be found in Penneshaw and boasts locally grown and produced award-winning wines and platters.
• Island Beehive – the best honey ice-cream ever! An absolutely must-visit.
• The Oyster Farm Shop – Found in the town of American River, indulge in fresh oysters and sustainable seafood, but remember to get in early before the oysters sell out!
• Sunset Food and Wine – Overlooking the American Beach, this restaurant has been awarded a Chef Hat from the Australian Good Food Guide. We recommend stopping by to see what the fuss is all about!

Visit Flinders Chase National Park

It’s true—no trip to K.I. is complete without a visit to this iconic park. From world famous landmarks, such as the Remarkable Rocks and the historic Cape Du Couedic Lighthouse, to plenty more things to see and do, Flinders Chase undoubtedly has something for everyone.

This Kangaroo Island icon is great to visit all year round (In Winter, you might be able to see whales arriving!)

See wildlife up close

True to its name, Kangaroo Island is home to a large amount of wildlife species, and luckily, there are plenty of ways to see beautiful local wildlife up close and personal!

To see wildlife in their natural habitats, we recommend Seal Bay, Admirals Arch at Flinders Chase, and Hanson Bay Wildlife Sanctuary.

For wildlife educational parks, must-dos include Kangaroo Island Wildlife Park and Aquarium and Raptor Domain.
