Kelly Hill Conservation Park
A series of dry limestone caves, close to Flinders Chase National Park, was 'discovered' in the 1880s by a horse named Kelly, who fell into them through a hole. Adventure caving tours leave at 2.15pm daily, following on from the standard tour. Minimum age is eight years; bookings essential. The Hanson Bay Walk (9km one way) runs from the caves through mallee scrub and past freshwater wetlands.

On the northwestern corner of Kangaroo Island, CapeBorda is topped by an 1858 lighthouse, standing tall above the rippling iron surface of the Southern Ocean. There are walks here from 1.5km to 9km, and lighthouse tours departing at 11am, 12.30pm and 2pm daily (plus 3.15pm and 4pm during summer holidays).

Seal Bay Conservation Park
'Observation, not interaction' is the mentality. Guided tours stroll along the beach (or boardwalk on self-guided tours) to a colony of (mostly sleeping) Australian sea lions. Sunset tours run in December and January only. Bookings advised.
