Seal Bay Conservation Park

You can have a spectacular time on Kangaroo Island without spending a cent, but Seal Bay is one exception to this rule. The conservation park is home to Australia’s largest sea lion population and has been for thousands of years. You can see these endangered animals and their pups up close from a 900-metre boardwalk that winds through the sand dunes. For beach access to the sea-lion colony, you can join a 45-minute guided tour, which runs nine times daily.
