You can’t beat Kangaroo Island for wildlife tours! Hop on a 30-minute flight from Adelaide to explore this nature lover’s paradise. Here, you’ll find not only kangaroos, but wallabies, koalas, wombats, fur seals, kookaburras, and many more. You can visit Port Lincoln in the Eyre Peninsula for whale watching, shark cage diving, or sea lion swims!
