The Seal Slide is comprised of a two day tour with opportunities to bushwalk and experience more remote and spectacular areas of the Island off the beaten track. The itinerary offers a dual focus on the natural and cultural history of Kangaroo Island.

Possibilities include The Snake Lagoon - Rocky River hike (platypus habitat),continuing on to beach-comb wild, spectacular and remote Maupertuis Bay, or scenic West Bay with the ruins of a wallaby trappers’ hut. West Bay Hollow is another shorter but spectacular option, or the scenic Ravine des Casoars walk in the Wilderness Protection Area.
After a bush lunch the tour leaves Flinders Chase and continues along the north coast to Lathami Conservation Park, habitat for the endangered glossy black cockatoo and home to wallabies, kangaroos and a host of other native species.
