Australia’s Galapagos

Kangaroo Island (or KI) is the country’s premier destination for wildlife experiences. It’s another of South Australia’s huge wilderness areas – six times bigger than Singapore, or the same size as Long Island, New York, with a breathtaking diversity of natural environments to discover.

Beautiful Kangaroo Island is a microcosm of different landscapes and environments – stunning beaches, forests, sand dunes and farmland. It’s the place to see amazing native wildlife in the wild. So it’s no wonder that it’s one of Australia’s National Landscapes.
