About this tour
This five-hour survey of Kangaroo Island takes in the island's food and craft culture, starting at Emu Ridge Eucalyptus Distillery to watch essential oil production, then moving through the Island Beehive for honey tasting, a browse around Kingscote township, the striking Silo Art installation, and Kangaroo Island Brewery for beer and cider tastings. You'll finish at Pennington Bay's rugged coastline before heading back to Penneshaw. The route covers local producers and photo-worthy spots across the island's quieter side.
Highlights
- Watch eucalyptus oil distillery process in action
- Taste single-origin honey straight from beekeepers
- Kingscote township: shopping and café time included
- Silo Art – Instagram-worthy grain silo mural

- Pennington Bay's raw rocky shoreline and views
What to expect
You'll move between working producers and small-town spots rather than wilderness or wildlife hotspots. Each stop involves tasting or browsing – expect to sample products and have the chance to buy. Kingscote gives you an hour of free time to wander the main street, grab lunch, or duck into local shops. The Silo Art is a quick photo stop en route. The brewery tasting is included; Pennington Bay is a brief scenic stop rather than a walk. The drive itself winds through the island's flatter, more settled terrain. All up, it's a gentle half-day that leans toward producers and local flavour rather than adventure.
Good to know
Prams and pushchairs are fine. Only Telstra and Optus mobile coverage works on the island. Air-conditioned vehicle provided. Bring cash or card for purchases at distillery, beehive, and township cafés, as some smaller producers may not take cards.
