About this tour

Start with morning tea and home-baked treats at a farmhouse, then track koalas, wallabies and endemic kangaroos through native bush. Lunch features fresh King George whiting and South Australian wines at a private camp. Finish at Seal Bay watching sea-lions breed and nurse pups on the sand—a raw look at island ecology far from crowds.

What to expect
You'll begin with tea and homemade cake at a modest farmhouse, then walk forest tracks where your guide points out animal signs—scat, tracks, feeding damage—and teaches you to read the soundscape. Expect a slow pace; the goal is spotting wildlife, not covering distance. Lunch happens at an open-air camp with proper food and wine, not packed sandwiches. The afternoon shift takes you to Seal Bay, where you descend to the beach for a controlled walk among sea-lions at close quarters. You'll see nursing pups, scarred breeding males, and learn how they're managed within the conservation zone. All-weather operation means genuine rain or wind; dress accordingly.
Good to know
