Kangaroo Island (YKSC)

Touch down and experience the raw landscapes and rugged wilderness of Kangaroo Island, located just off South Australia. As the country’s third-largest island, isolation from the mainland has meant that nature has thrived here, creating a wonderful escape for those wanting to unplug and unwind.

FACILITIES

Kingscote Airport (YKSC) is a modern facility near the main hub of the island. It has recently been upgraded with its own trendy café and visitor information to kick off your visit in style. Hire cars and transfers are readily available, but it’s recommended to book in advance.

STAY

For such a remote destination, there is a huge variety of accommodation on Kangaroo Island. Set up shop at a beachside cottage or cabin, or hide away in the island’s heartland at a farm stay or tiny home. You’ll need at least a few days to explore this beautiful island.

EXPLORE

So many things to explore, such little space to write! The best way to explore the island is to just start driving – be sure to watch out for all the wildlife! The warmer months lend themselves to beach hopping and hiking along the pristine coastline (see: Vivonee Bay Beach). As weather cools down, the wilderness dials up, with whale watching, rushing waterfalls and lush bushland to explore.

The fertile lands of Kangaroo Island mean that great local produce is abundant. Enjoy incredibly fresh seafood, paddock to plate experiences and of course the island’s famous honey. This island is a foodie mecca, so you’ll be hard-pressed to find a bad feed here. Some highlights include the Emu Bay Lavendar Farm and The Enchanted Fig for a some truly unique dining experiences.
