Day by day

Itinerary

  1. 1

    Adelaide - Kangaroo Island

    Begin your Remarkable Adelaide to Kangaroo Island adventure with a city tour before travelling through the Fleurieu Peninsula, renowned for its stunning coastline, picturesque towns and rich cultural heritage. At Cape Jervis, cruise across the Backstairs Passage to Penneshaw, Kangaroo Island’s second largest town. On arrival, breathe in the fresh ocean air and enjoy the island’s relaxed pace. Explore the 1.5 km Kangaroo Island Sculpture Trail, showcasing outdoor artworks, native wildlife and spectacular views, or take a leisurely beach walk. The choice is yours. This evening, enjoy dinner at your hotel with your travelling companions.

  2. 2

    Kangaroo Island Sightseeing

    After a leisurely breakfast, your Kangaroo Island tour begins with a visit to Cape Willoughby Conservation Park, home to South Australia’s oldest operational lighthouse. Explore the visitor centre & museum to learn about the rich maritime history before taking a walk around the lighthouse and enjoying the panoramic views of Cape Willoughby. Next, you’ll discover the history of Kangaroo Island Wool as you embark on a unique and captivating 90-minute journey through time on a working mill tour. Begin with an unforgettable cinematic experience within Australia's only 9-metre Igloo Dome, where you'll be transported to the heart of Kangaroo Island. Discover the fascinating story of the island's wool industry, from its early settlers to the present-day wool farmers who have shaped its rich heritage. Meet the people who have played a crucial role in shaping Kangaroo Island's wool legacy and gain a deeper understanding of the island's history and culture. Working up a thirst, your final stop of the day is to meet Mike, your host at Kangaroo Island Brewery. This is no ordinary brew-house – Mike makes all his beers using rainwater he collects from the roof of his shed. Try a paddle of his liquid gold, or sip wine or cider while chatting with your affable host.

  3. 3

    Kangaroo Island

    Today, your kangaroo island trip mixes wilderness, wildlife and wonderful food in equal measure. Your outlook begins on a high at the Remarkable Rocks. Formed some 500 million years ago, the precariously balanced, rust-hued granite boulders cut a dramatic form against the inky blue of the Southern Ocean and silvery shrubs that cover the countryside. Your outlook is just as wild at Admirals Arch, a natural rock formation within Flinders Chase National Park, and a popular hangout for cacophonous New Zealand fur seals. The colony loll about on just about every surface you can see. They’re petite compared to the creatures found at Seal Bay Conservation Park, a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience where playful seals tumble down the sand to splash about in the water – metres from where you stand. And on to that food and drink. After a delicious two-course lunch, Peter at Island Beehive will dish up samples of the honey (and delicious honey ice-cream) he makes here using Ligurian bees. They’re found on KI, and nowhere else in Australia. Meanwhile, the owners of Islander Estate Vineyard will pour you a glass or two and talk through the production of their wines.

  4. 4

    Kangaroo Island - Farewell from Adelaide

    Before your Kangaroo island trip ends, follow your nose to Emu Ridge Eucalyptus Distillery. If Australia was an aroma, this would be it. Here you’ll take a guided tour and learn about the distillation process and how eucalyptus oil is extracted from the native Kangaroo Island Narrow Leaf Mallee. Visit the farmgate shop and pick up essential oils, body creams, sweets, honey and soaps, and taste some of the island’s best cider. Then bliss out knowing that anything you eat or use not only tastes and smells great but also has therapeutic properties. Back on the mainland, travel through the picturesque Fleurieu Peninsula with its rolling vineyards, pristine beaches, and charming towns. Returning to the city, bags a few kilos heavier thanks to all that honey, wine and eucalyptus, it’s time to bid farewell to Adelaide and Australia’s second largest (but perhaps most beguiling) island. Your tour concludes at 3.30pm back in Adelaide.

Travel at 60 Social Getaways

Travel further when you're not travelling alone

Our Social Getaways are small-group holidays designed especially for over-60s Australians who want the freedom of a great trip without the work of planning every detail. A Travel at 60 host travels with the group, the operator handles the logistics, and you get to focus on the bit that matters — the people, the places, and the stories you'll bring home.

Open to solo travellers too. Many of our travellers book on their own and find their feet quickly in a friendly group of like-minded Australians. Reduced single-supplement options are available on most departures — ask one of our consultants and we'll talk you through what's offered on this trip.

  • A friendly Travel at 60 host — an Australian face on the ground, looking out for the group from day one.
  • Curated local guides & boutique suppliers — the same operators we'd book for our own families.
  • Real itineraries, not whirlwind tours — comfortable transfers, breathing room, and the “off the beaten track” stops the big bus tours skip.

Want to talk it through? Call 1300 414 198 7 days a week, Queensland time, and one of our consultants will walk you through it.
