Kangaroo Island / Adelaide- (included: breakfast / lunch)

After breakfast, we drive into the Flinders Chase National Park, a huge wilderness area which covers most of the western part of the island. We visit Remarkable Rocks, one of the best known icons of Kangaroo Island.
They form what appears to be a cluster of precariously balanced granite boulders. This stunning work of nature has been shaped by the erosive forces of wind, sea spray and rain over some 500 million years.

A short drive away we arrive at Admiral’s Arch located at Cape du Couedic. A viewing platform and boardwalk around a cliff face leads us to this spectacular natural rock arch known as Admiral’s Arch where we can observe a colony of New Zealand fur-seals.

We have lunch at the visitor centre and then we head to the northern side of the island driving back toward Penneshaw in time for our ferry back to Adelaide.
