This morning, travel to the seaside village of Triabunna and board a ferry to cross the Mercury Passage to Maria Island. This unique island national park sits just off Tasmania's east coast. Enjoy a day of peaceful walking amongst historic ruins, across sweeping bays, rugged fossil cliffs, and imposing mountains. This island sanctuary provides an opportunity to view its resident wildlife, including Wombats, Cape Barren Geese, Tasmanian Pademelons, Forester Kangaroos, and even the Tasmanian Devil in their natural environment.

Be enthralled by the stunning granite coastline, including the dramatic pink peaks of the Hazards range. Discover a coast dotted with sparkling white sand beaches, including Cooks and Bryans beaches, only accessible by water or a full-day bushwalk. Explore the inner passage of remote Schouten Island, home to little penguins and short-tailed shearwaters, before heading into the Tasman Sea towards Wineglass Bay. Look out for various hidden sea caves, blowholes, and waterfalls amongst the sheer granite cliffs. Disembark the vessel in the early afternoon and visit the Friendly Beaches before your guide takes you to your accommodation. The rest of this afternoon is at leisure. At dusk, we invite you to an informative tour on private property to get close to the local colony of fairy penguins nesting and breeding in the dunes.

Day 1:
An Exceptional Kangaroo Island vehicle will pick you up from Kingscote Airport. Get an introduction to Island life - where things take time. Where drivers wave as they go by - or even stop for a chat. Have a cuppa with some homemade cakes before taking a walk down a country track through tall Eucalyptus trees where koalas snooze overhead, or perhaps wake briefly for a feed. Travel through some of the Island's best farming countries to the North Coast and Lathami Conservation Park. Walk quietly through the bush with your guide - look for wallabies which are almost extinct on the mainland and a kangaroo found only on Kangaroo Island. Break for lunch and enjoy a delicious meal featuring local seafood, fresh salads, and fine South Australian wines at a private bush location. At Seal Bay Conservation Park walk with your guide among Australian sea lions on a beautiful sandy beach. Watch pups nursing, or playing in the surf, see old bulls bearing the scars of territorial disputes, and learn about their unique breeding biology. The remainder of the afternoon is spent exploring more of the southeast region of the Island with destinations and experiences chosen to reflect seasonal opportunities. Dinner at accommodation. Overnight at Kangaroo Island Lodge.

Day 2:
After breakfast, Flinders Chase National Park - a vast wilderness covering the entire west end of the Island, is home to kangaroos, wallabies, possums, goannas, echidnas, koalas, platypus, and many birds including rare Cape Barren Geese. Visit Rocky River, the site of an impressive visitor center interpreting many facets of the park and its history. At Cape du Couedic visit a fur seal colony which now numbers over 20,000 after being decimated by hunting in the early 1800's. These animals can be observed at rest on the rocks or frolicking in the surf under Admirals Arch - a spectacular coastal grotto. On the headland above is a beautiful stone lighthouse where three lightkeepers and their families lived, maintaining a warning for ships. With no road access until 1940 life was tough - supplies came by sea only every 3 months. Another impressive stone structure had a different architect. The Remarkable Rocks, huge natural granite sculptures, have been carved by relentless winds, rain, and salt from the Southern Ocean. The end result looks like a meeting of the minds of Henri Moore and Salvador Dali! Good wines and local produce feature highly in our picnic lunch which we can enjoy out in the bush before exploring more of the Island. Depending upon the season, the afternoon might include a visit to "Grassdale" in the heart of Kelly Hill Conservation Park, the secluded pools of the Rocky River, or a rugged South Coast cove. Dinner at accommodation. Overnight at Kangaroo Island Lodge.

After breakfast and check-out from accommodation, transfer to Kingscote Airport where your tour will conclude.
