Things to do
Kangaroo Island Wildlife Park
Kangaroo Island Wildlife Park is a popular, hands-on, and easily accessible park near Seddon that offers intimate animal encounters such as koala holding, wallaby/kangaroo feeding, and the opportunity to meet rescued animals. The park is well-known for its hands-on experiences, which allow visitors to interact directly with native wildlife. The park also functions as a wildlife rescue and rehabilitation center, where visitors may observe animals being treated.
Seal Bay Conservation Park
A unique chance to stroll among a wild colony of endangered Australian sea lions is provided by Seal Bay Conservation Park. Guided beach excursions and self-guided boardwalk experiences are available, and visitors can observe sea lions relaxing on the beach and in the dunes. On guided beach trips, you can stroll onto the beach with a ranger and get up close to sea lions by getting within 30 meters of them. The 900-meter guided boardwalk offers elevated, secure viewing locations as it snakes across limestone cliffs and dunes.
Little Sahara
Sandboarding or quad biking at Little Sahara is described as a spectacular, high-adrenaline, yet family-friendly excursion across a natural, inland sand dune system spanning two square kilometres. Choose between standing on a sandboard (similar to snowboarding) or sitting on a toboggan. The dunes, which rise up to 70 meters above sea level, provide a fantastic white sand desert experience surrounded by native flora, where you may frequently see koalas in surrounding gum trees.
Marine Adventures
Swimming with wild dolphins is a quiet, eco-certified experience along the north coast, with an emphasis on ethical, natural encounters in shallow, calm waters without cages or propellers. Visitors frequently swim with bottlenose dolphins making for a well regarded and personal marine safari. While wild, they frequently exhibit curiosity, swimming alongside, around, and beneath participants in what many regard as a magical or "once-in-a-lifetime" experience.
