thousands of years of erosion to create this distinctive rock bridge near the Cape du Couedic

Lighthouse on the island's southwest coast.

Remarkable Rocks

these aptly named granite boulders which are now part of the Flinders Chase National Park.

learn about the habits and behaviour of the Australian sea lion, such as hunting, resting and

reproduction. The lookout offers amazing views of Cape Gantheaume and the wilderness area.

Kangaroo Island Spirits: Optional tasting (Gin)

One of the appealing things about gin is the use of botanicals – there is a lot you can do with them in

the gin making process. Jon and Sarah believe that gin should still be predominantly juniper

flavoured – it’s a choice (some of the new ones aren’t). But from there on, there’s a lot of flexibility

and you can almost do or add anything you like. And this is where Jon and Sarah have worked their

magic to produce the exquisite uniqueness of KIS gins, which underpins Kangaroo Island Spirits’ core

values and product personality. OPTIONAL - $20 Gin tasting
