Discover Kangaroo Island Wildlife & Nature

Renowned as a zoo without walls or fences, Kangaroo Island is like its own Australian Wildlife Park

Kangaroo Island is renowned for its stunning coastlines, spectacular geological formations and viewing abundance of Kangaroo Island wildlife in their natural setting. Quietly ‘go bush' and see native Australian animals and birds as they were meant to be seen. In the wild.

More than one-third of Kangaroo Island is Conservation or National Park. So, take the time to explore you will have a great chance to see the Kangaroo Island Kangaroos, tammar wallabies, and koalas going about their daily lives. Visit thousands of Long-nosed fur seals (New Zealand Fur Seals) all year round at Admirals Arch in the Flinders Chase National Park or wander with a guide amongst a colony of Australian Sea Lions at Seal Bay Conservation Park.

Finding some of the more reclusive residents may require a little local knowledge. Guarantee sightings and insights on one of the Island's Kangaroo Island wildlife tours.
