GETTING THERE Emu Airways (& 08/8234 3711) is the only airline serving<br />

Kangaroo Island. Up to six daily departures ensure frequent service to the<br />

Island. Regional Express (& 13 17 13 in <strong>Australia</strong>; www.regionalexpress.com.au)<br />

also flies <strong>from</strong> Adelaide. Flights leave <strong>from</strong> the General Aviation Terminal, Kel Barclay<br />

Avenue, Adelaide. The General Aviation Terminal is about a 20-minute walk<br />

(or shorter taxi ride!) <strong>from</strong> the main airport terminal. The flight <strong>from</strong> Adelaide to<br />

Kangaroo Island usually takes about 25 minutes.<br />

If you prefer to go by sea, Kangaroo Island SeaLink (& 13 13 01 in <strong>Australia</strong>,<br />

or 08/8202 8688; www.sealink.com.au) operates two oceangoing vehicle<br />

and passenger ferries four times daily (up to 10 times in peak periods) <strong>from</strong> Cape<br />

Jervis on the tip of the Fleurieu Peninsula on the mainland to Penneshaw on Kangaroo<br />

Island. The trip takes 40 minutes and costs A$64 (US$42) round-trip for<br />

adults, A$32 (US$21) for children 3 to 14, and A$138 (US$90) for cars. Connecting<br />

bus service <strong>from</strong> Adelaide to Cape Jervis is provided at an extra A$36<br />

(US$23) for adults, and A$18 (US$12) for children round-trip. There are some<br />

cheaper off-peak prices, but check when booking. Count on 3 hours for the<br />

whole trip <strong>from</strong> Adelaide if you take the connecting bus. Bookings are essential.<br />

SeaLink also runs a range of island tours, including the 2-day/1-night “K.I.<br />

coast to coast” which costs <strong>from</strong> A$289 (US$188) per person twin share.<br />

SeaLink also offers a wide range of accommodations, day tours, and adventure<br />

activities and offers Adelaide hotel pickups for selected tours.
