Day 1: Ferry to Kangaroo Island & Penneshaw – Karatta
Distance: 133 km / 83 miles
Start your Kangaroo Island adventure from Cape Jervis with a 45-minute ferry crossing to Penneshaw. On arrival, take time to stop at the nearby 1.5km Sculpture Trail featuring a collection from local and international artists.
If you travel along the island’s rugged north coast, it will reward you with the Cape Willoughby’s Conservation Park and Lighthouse – the first to be built in South Australia in 1952. There are daily guided tours of the Lightstation precinct and a Visitor Centre which has a fascinating museum reading room.
