This morning we rise and say goodbye to our hosts as we pack our bags and head South to Cape Jervis for the ferry to Kangaroo Island. Kangaroo Island is a sanctuary for wildlife and natural beauty. It has just been voted as Australia's number one must see destination by worldwide TIME magazine. With its raw and rugged coastline, clear waters, natural wonders and wildlife, Kangaroo Island is known as nature’s playground. As you step off the ferry onto the island, it's impossible not to feel a sense of calm. We follow the road less traveled and discover unique wildlife, breathtaking scenery and a laid-back lifestyle. We check into our accommodation at Kangaroo Island Bunkhouse, our home for the next 6 nights. Overnight dorm rooms at Kangaroo Island Bunkhouse

After breakfast the team will spend the day visiting Seal Bay for a Tour and marine conservation/pollution clear up project. The stunning views of the Australian sea lion colony and the neighboring coastline make Seal Bay an essential experience for visitors to Kangaroo Island. Seal Bay has been home to an Aus­tralian sea lion pop­u­la­tion for thou­sands of years, and offers one of the most excep­tion­al nature-based expe­ri­ences in the world. There are no enclo­sures or cages at Seal Bay. Instead, you will be tak­en into the heart of the colony where the expe­ri­enced guides will teach you about the Aus­tralian sea lion. There is nowhere else in the world where you can lis­ten to an expert give you their unique insight into how these endan­gered ani­mals hunt, surf, rest, inter­act with their pups and defend their territory. Later this afternoon we head to the Koala and wildlife Sanctuary for a behind the scenes look at the amazing work the sanctuary has been doing. The centre has been rescuing and raising injured and orphaned wildlife for many years with a lot of the animals that call the park home. Overnight dorm rooms at Kangaroo Island Bunkhouse

We wake up to another day on this spectacular island and prepare a hearty breakfast for a big day ahead. Today we spend the day visiting a honey farm to learn about sustainable honey farming and the importance of bees. According to Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, one third of the worlds food production depends on bees. We not only learn about the importance of bees but get to try such treats as fresh honey, honeycomb and Kangaroo Islands famous honey ice cream! We then join a local wildlife sanctuary to meet with the rangers and to learn about the conservation work active in the area and, depending on the Ranger's tasks for the day, visit with Parks staff regenerating the fire effected bush. Here we will learn about how the park is recov­er­ing nat­u­ral­ly fol­low­ing the sum­mer bush­fires, which burnt over 50 per cent of the park (and the Ravine des Casoars Wilder­ness Pro­tec­tion Area). Bush­fires have played an inte­gral part in shap­ing the ecol­o­gy of the Aus­tralian land­scape for mil­lions of years. Many native plant species are adapt­ed to sur­vive, regen­er­ate and thrive after fire and much of the park is regain­ing its green cloak of coastal health, mallee wood­land and euca­lypt for­est. Goan­nas, koalas, eagles, kan­ga­roos and echid­nas are reg­u­lar­ly spot­ted in the park. Overnight Kangaroo Island Bunkhouse in 4 bed dorms

After breakfast we dress in our trek gear and prepare for our trek along a section of the Kangaroo Island Wilderness Trail in Flinders Chase Nat Park. This entire area was devastated by fires but the fauna and flora is slowly returning making it a spectacular location for a trek. Whilst this is a challenging trek it is a very achievable one, we have plenty of time to walk the trail and will spend time on sheltered beaches, exploring rock pools and visiting stunning vantage points over the southern ocean.

Today we have a lazy morning to recharge our batteries after our trek yesterday. We can relax at our accommodation and have a leisurely breakfast. Later we head out to explore the the Flinders Chase National Park and Ravine Des Casoars Wilderness Protection Areas on foot. It is a great day to try and spot animals in their natural habitat and we will have a check list we can tick off as we go. This vast area of wilder­ness fea­tures the icon­ic Remark­able Rocks, Admi­rals Arch and a long-nosed fur seal colony. Sit­ting high on ancient rocky plat­forms above the sea, Remark­able Rocks’ sur­re­al shapes and gold­en orange colours pro­vide extra­or­di­nary pho­to oppor­tu­ni­ties. Admi­rals Arch at Cape du Couedic is not only an impres­sive rock arch, weath­er worn over thou­sands of years, it’s also home to a colony of long-nosed fur seals. Here we will learn about how the park is recov­er­ing nat­u­ral­ly fol­low­ing the sum­mer bush­fires, which burnt over 50 per cent of the park (and the Ravine des Casoars Wilder­ness Pro­tec­tion Area).
