Flinders Chase National Park

From here, travel to the western most part of the Island, Flinders Chase National Park. As you travel through the park, keep an eye out for echidnas, wallabies, reptiles, and koalas. See the rugged coastline from walks around Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch. You will hear how Nurrunderi left this world and entered the Kalowinyeri to give the indigenous people life. Remarkable Rocks provide great photographic opportunities, and the Admirals Arch boardwalk takes you down a rugged cliff face to reveal the spectacular rock archway, a natural nursery and haven for playful Long-nosed Fur Seals.

Frequently Asked Questions

(8)

Q: Will I get seasick on Kangaroo Island Indigenous Tour (1 Day)?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
