Discover the rugged beauty, rich heritage, and celebrated flavors of Kangaroo Island during an exclusive small-group exploration of the island's picturesque Dudley Peninsula.
Your journey begins at Sea Dragon Kangaroo Island and Cape Willoughby Conservation Park, where a guided walk reveals some of the region's most striking coastal scenery. Along the way, keep watch for the Kangaroo Island kangaroo, a unique subspecies found only on the island, often seen grazing amid the windswept landscapes and native vegetation.
Continue to Cape Willoughby Lighthouse, the oldest lighthouse in South Australia. During a guided visit, learn about the early explorers, lighthouse keepers, and pioneering families who lived and worked on this remote coastline, and gain insight into the vital role the lighthouse played in safeguarding maritime travel.
You'll also discover the fascinating story of Kangaroo Island's renowned Ligurian honey bees, whose pure genetic lineage has been carefully preserved on the island for more than 140 years.
Pause for a relaxing lunch at Café Willoughby, where fresh local cuisine is complemented by sweeping views across Backstairs Passage toward Cape Willoughby Lighthouse and the distant St Albans Lighthouse.
In the afternoon, continue exploring the peninsula's pristine landscapes, including Antechamber Bay, Lashmar Conservation Park, and the Chapman River. Your experience concludes at Dudley Wines, where a guided tasting showcases regional wines paired with panoramic clifftop vistas overlooking Backstairs Passage. Afterward, relax on the return journey to the ship, having experienced the natural beauty, history, wildlife, and flavors that make Kangaroo Island so memorable.
