One Day Flinders Chase Focus Tour

Our full day Flinders Chase tour explores the wilderness of the west end of Kangaroo Island, including fire ecology, access to a private wildlife refuge, a series of wildlife encounters, an elegant picnic lunch and the iconic landscapes of Flinders Chase National Park.

Itinerary

Begin the day travelling through some of the fire-affected landscapes of Kangaroo Island, which are recovering quickly following generous winter rains.

Learn about fire ecology and how nature deals with fire. Some of our native flora species only flower following fire!

Travel into Flinders Chase National Park and explore the massive shapes of Remarkable Rocks, a natural sculpture perched impossibly on top a granite dome plunging into the ocean

Break for an elegant picnic lunch in the bush, or if weather permits, on a spectacular clifftop. Lunch features marinated poached chicken, fresh salads, cheeses accompanied by local wine, beer, soft drinks and spring water.

Evidence of the power of the Southern Ocean swell continues at Admirals Arch – a coastal grotto which provides a haul out for a large colony of Long-nosed fur seals which swim effortlessly through crashing waves.

  • Explore the wild western wilderness of Flinders Chase National Park
  • Stop for a tea or coffee, served with an iconic home-baked Australian cake
