Welcome to the heart of island life, where things take their time, where drivers wave as they pass - or even stop for a chat.
Have a cup of tea with homemade treats before strolling along a country lane through tall eucalypts where koalas doze overhead or briefly wake to feed. Listen to the sounds of the bush - brightly coloured bee-eaters and bright parrots, cicadas, or perhaps simply the sound of silence. Cross the island's most productive region to reach the north coast.
Walk through the bush with your guide - past oddly shaped trees, learning what makes that noise, whose tracks those are, and who left THAT little pile there? Spot small wallabies, nearly extinct on the mainland, a kangaroo found only on Kangaroo Island, and a variety of other birds, plants and animals.
Stop for lunch at a private bush camp and enjoy a delicious meal of King George whiting (local sea fish), fresh salads and fine South Australian wines.
At Seal Bay Conservation Park, take a private tour with your guide among Australian sea lions on a beautiful sandy beach - an experience comparable to the Galapagos. Watch pups nursing or playing in the surf, old males bearing the scars of territorial conflicts, and learn about their unique breeding biology.
