Adventure Charters of Kangaroo Island
Kangaroo Island, South Australia


This is your opportunity to explore this unique island with a local professional naturalist guide. Travel in 4WD comfort and enjoy quality food and wine while visiting traditional destinations and remote places only a local can show you.

Adventure Charters of Kangaroo Island is owned and operated by Craig and Janet Wickham. Craig is a local involved in tourism, conservation management and farming. With extensive local knowledge, professional environmental training and three years' experience as a National Parks and Wildlife Service ranger, Craig has developed a program providing a blend of hospitality and environmental understanding.

The Island's diverse landscapes provide ideal habitats for sealions, fur seals, endemic kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, echidnas, platypus, goannas, 243 bird species (many rare or endangered), possums, bandicoots, and even whales. Except for the whales, which pass through in winter, others are present all year.

Combine this with a population of only 4000 people, amid stunning scenery, and you have a holiday destination both stimulating and relaxing.

Referred to by many as Australia's nature island. Kangaroo Island offers a wonderful range of wildlife in pristine locations. The third largest island off the coast of Australia, almost half is virgin bush, Kangaroo Island is wildlife enthusiasts dream. Approximately a third of Kangaroo Island is either Conservation or National Park and in the absence of introduced species such as rabbits and foxes the native wildlife thrives.

As a traveller to KI said "Looking for an off-the-beaten-path paradise? Try Australia's Kangaroo Island. The shopping's lousy, the disco's non-existent, but the scenery is spectacular and the flora and fauna unique."
