Select participants and date
The road west unspools across Kangaroo Island, where low mallee scrub leans into the wind and the Southern Ocean shakes the horizon. Your guide, a local who reads these headlands like a favorite book, steers a quiet Lexus toward the raw edge of Flinders Chase National Park. Granite domes start to rise ahead—older than vertebrate life—while surf booms in the coves like a steady drumbeat urging you onward.

Adventure Tips
Start Early for Wind and Space
Mornings are calmer and less crowded at Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch, improving both safety and photography.
Mind the Lichen on Granite
Rock surfaces can be slick when damp—stick to dry patches and avoid the bright orange lichen to keep footing secure.
Seal-Watching Etiquette
Keep at least 20 meters from seals, stay quiet on platforms, and never block their path to the water.
Layer Up for Coastal Weather
Wind can swing conditions quickly; a light windproof jacket keeps salt spray and chill at bay even in summer.
Local Insights
Wildlife
- Long-nosed fur seals
- Short-beaked echidnas
History
Cape du Couedic Lighthouse and the Weirs Cove supply route recall the isolation of early keepers. The park is also a living record of post-2019–20 bushfire recovery across mallee and coastal heath.
Conservation
Stay on boardwalks to protect fragile regrowth and nesting seabirds; drones are prohibited in South Australian national parks. Pack out all waste and give wildlife generous space, especially during pupping season.
