Kangaroo Island Tours & Holidays
This mini Galapagos is one of Australia’s most beautiful and underrated wildlife sanctuaries
Arriving on Kangaroo Island feels like you’ve stepped back in time. Kids still ride bikes to school, and farmers chase kangaroos off their front lawns before dawn. But it’s the local wildlife that’s the real drawcard. Fur seals, dolphins, Australian sea lions, echidnas, koalas and, of course, kangaroos, have flourished here without the threat of species introduced to the mainland. The island also boasts some of the country's best beaches, pristine hiking trails and lip-smacking local produce.

Articles of Kangaroo Island
Kangaroo island travel faqs, how do i get to kangaroo island.
Kangaroo Island is located 14 kilometres (9 miles) off the South Australian coast. To get there, you'll need to take the ferry from Cape Jervis or fly from Adelaide.
You can fly to Kangaroo Island from Adelaide and several other cities in Australia (subject to seasonal demand), or catch a ferry to Penneshaw from Cape Jervis on the Fleurieu Peninsula. The ferry takes around 45 minutes.
How do I get around on Kangaroo Island?
There's no public transport on Kangaroo Island, so you'll need your own set of wheels. You can bring your car on the ferry, hire a car on the island or join a guided group tour.
When is the best time to visit Kangaroo Island?
Kangaroo Island is beautiful all year, with each season offers a unique perspective of the island.
Summer is generally hot and dry which is ideal for checking out the many beaches, while winter is great for seeing fur seals, adorable kangaroo and wallaby joeys and southern right whales.
Spring and autumn are perfect for bushwalking, fishing and seeing the island's native flowers in bloom.
What should I pack for Kangaroo Island?
Kangaroo Island is a casual place so you can leave your dressy clothes at home. Layered, breathable clothing is key, as while it can be chilly when you set off in the morning, it can warm up substantially throughout the day. You'll also need a pair of comfy walking shoes, sunscreen, sunglasses and a sunhat (even in winter). A raincoat or poncho is better than an umbrella as some areas can be very windy.
What do I wear on Kangaroo Island?
Most activities on Kangaroo Island involve the great outdoors, so there's no need to dress up. In the evening, smart casual is the typical dress code for the island's restaurants — think t-shirt and jeans. Evenings can be chilly, even during the summer months, so ensure you bring a couple of warm layers.
What is the internet access like on Kangaroo Island?
Telstra customers can get mobile data coverage in major tourist areas and along most of the island's sealed roads. There's limited signal available in more remote areas of the island, particularly when you're travelling off-road.
Customers with other network providers may have little or no coverage throughout the island, but most hotels and resorts offer wi-fi. Kangaroo Island ferries also offer free wi-fi.
Can I use my mobile phone on Kangaroo Island?
Telstra customers usually have the best coverage on Kangaroo Island, particularly in more populated areas. If you're with another network provider you may have less or no coverage at all, however, most hotels offer free wi-fi so you can stay connected.
Has Kangaroo Island recovered from the 2020 bushfires?
The 2020 bushfires were the biggest in the island's history. The fires burnt almost half of the island and had a devastating impact on the people, homes, businesses, wildlife, nature and tourism.
As catastrophic as the fires were, Kangaroo Island and other bushfire-affected regions in South Australia are bouncing back. Nature is flourishing again and wildlife has returned to native habitats. Amazingly, some species that were thought to have been wiped out have been spotted, including the Kangaroo Island Little Pygmy Possum.
Tourism has suffered a great deal since the bushfires, but as the island continues to recover, it's more important than ever.
Are Intrepid trips accessible for travellers with disabilities?
We are committed to making travel widely accessible , regardless of ability or disability. We do our best to help you see the world, regardless of physical or mental limitations.
We are always happy to talk to travellers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them toward the most suitable itinerary for their needs and, where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.
