By building relationships with researchers and conservationists, Tim and Tamsin offer guests unique opportunities to connect with the island's natural heritage.
"Seeking to protect, preserve and build on what makes Kangaroo Island special," Tamsin explains. "Sharing stories and initiatives with guests, and finding ways to create pathways to build connections with them."

By providing guests with meaningful experiences that connect them to the island's natural beauty, Tim and Tamsin are fostering a new generation of environmental stewards.
