Discover the most western side of Kangaroo Island and explore the stunning natural landscapes of this unique part of Australia. This day tour will take you into Flinders Chase National Park - home to the iconic Remarkable rocks, Admiral Arch and Weirs Cove. Marvel at the nature-made rock formations, the result of millions of years of erosion.

You'll also visit lesser-known areas of the park. Get out, walk around and discover amazing wildlife and plants. At Cape du Couedic; you'll get to visit a beautiful stone lighthouse. Enjoy commentary from your knowledgeable guide and stop for a picnic lunch at a remote location. Imagine enjoying local cheeses and Kangaroo Island wine on a cliff, overlooking the Southern Ocean! You'll finish the day tour with a trip to 'Grassdale' to learn about the history of farming in the area.
