About this tour
Spend nine hours exploring [Kangaroo Island](/places/kangaroo-island)'s Flinders Chase National Park with a local guide who unpacks the region's geological and human stories. You'll walk among Australian sea lions at their natural haunt, absorb the turquoise waters of Vivonne Bay, and photograph the island's most dramatic landmarks—Remarkable Rocks, Admirals Arch, and the heritage lighthouse. The tour balances self-directed exploration with guided commentary, letting you move at your own pace across this rugged coastline.

What to expect
Expect a full day of walking across exposed coastal terrain with uneven ground, rocky outcrops, and variable weather. The boardwalk to the sea lions is gentle and accessible, but trails to Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch involve moderate climbing and uneven surfaces. You'll need sturdy footwear and sun protection—shade is sparse. Lunch breaks allow you to rest and take in views. Your guide shares local knowledge about geology, wildlife, and the island's history without lengthy speeches; you're free to linger at photo spots or move ahead.
Good to know

Bring water beyond what's provided, sunscreen, hat, and closed-toe walking shoes. Weather can shift quickly; pack a light layer. Groups run 10–30 people.
