Five days on Kangaroo Island will take you into a world of Australian Wildlife and remote beaches that can't be bettered anywhere.


Australian Wildlife, up close and personal, but Kangaroo Island is no zoo. You willKangaroo Island / Australia meet up with Kangaroos, Emus, Australian Fur seals, Koalas, Wallabies, Fairy Penguins, Echidnas and a host of birds and reptiles all in their natural surrounds, no cages here.
Kangaroo Island is also known internationally for pristine remote beaches (in a country of magnificent beaches a Kangaroo Island beach has been  voted as the best in the nation).
On your side car adventure you wont see many sealed roads. You definitely wont see many motor cycles, the roads on the Island are covered in round Sidecar Tours KI Lighthouseironstone pebbles, ideal sidecar country but a definite 'no' for road bikes. In fact, unless you pick peak holiday season, you wont see many cars either.
 Kangaroo Island has a host of accommodation options. There are camp grounds, peaceful and secluded where you will have to keep on eye on your food when the kangaroos and emus visit. There are excellent cabins at reasonable prices scattered across the island. And there is plenty of premium hotel, motel and B&B options that will fit the budget of most travellers. If you look at a map of the Island you will see 1/3rd ofUral Tours, a KI road the island is National and Conservation Parks. Many of the best roads are not shown, these are the roads that take you to the little travelled places, your own 'private' beach or secluded picnic area away from civilisation. It's not a big Island, only 155km long and 55km wide, but a five day visit will give you the right amount of time to relax and have a really good adventure.

Your itinerary:-

Day 1.... Leave Adelaide and travel down the Fleurieu Peninsula visiting some of the states finestKangaroobeach beaches, exclusive wineries and interesting towns. You will travel south along  the top of the Mount Lofty Ranges and get to Cape Jervis to catch the evening ferry. Just before dark you will leave the ferry and ride up to your accommodation for the night, a comfy bed and breakfast.

Day 2..... After a leisurely breakfast 'hop' on the Ural and head for American River. This is the epitome of the classic fishing village where some great photo opportunities abound. After a tasty morning tea we ride to Kingscote where you can explore the shops and galleries and visit the site of South Australia's first settlement.
From there you head  to Emu bay for a ride/stroll on the beach. As the evening starts to fall you will be settled into your next B&B for a sumptuous evening meal and a quiet night at a remote farmhouse.

Day 3....Today is a day of exploring beaches and lighthouses. As you travel along Echidnathe North Coast of Kangaroo Island you'll discover remote beaches and, unless it in peak holiday time, you will probably have the sand to yourself. Most of the distance travelled today will be on unsealed roads and you'll see very little traffic. In the afternoon you'll head south across the Island to tonight's accommodation near the entrance of Flinders Chase National Park.

Day 4....After an early start you head into the park. Today you will marvel at stunning Southern Ocean scenery and enjoy continuous wildlife encounters. In the afternoon we head east, following the southSeal Bay coast and dropping into Vivonne Bay to see Australia's best beach then onto Seal Bay to visit a colony of Australian Fur Seals, another great photo opportunity destination. Before dark you'll be settled into tonight's accommodation at American River.

Day 5... Up early and head out in a boat for a couple of hours of whiting fishing. Kangaroo Island is one of those places where you are virtually guaranteed to catch every time you go fishing. The whiting (Australia's finest table fish) you catch can be iced down and packed in the sidecar. The afternoon will take you to the very easternmost point of the Island then back to catch the mid afternoon ferry to the mainland with a gentle afternoon rideKoala back to Adelaide
