Kangaroo Island Ocean Safari

Explore Penneshaw: gateway to Kangaroo Island

Kangaroo Island’s main ferry port of Penneshaw is gateway to this island paradise; just jump off your SeaLink ferry and start exploring. Perched on the Dudley Peninsula, Penneshaw is the second biggest town on Kangaroo Island and is home to the island’s largest selection of accommodation and dining options. Beach paradise is within reach from Penneshaw; lounge on the sandy shores of the town’s Hog Bay, venture down the road to the turquoise waters of Brown Beach or swim with dolphins and seals with KI Ocean Safaris. Feeling thirsty? Sample local wines while drinking in epic views from the peninsula’s clifftops at Dudley Wines or nestle up among vineyards and gumtrees at False Cape Wines. On the first Sunday of every month, explore the vast offering of regional food, artisan crafts and local art at the Kangaroo Island Farmers and Community Market.
