After a delicious BBQ lunch at the Seal Bay Cafe, we drove on to visit famous Seal Bay. </p><p>Our guide took some of the passengers on a walk through a wild seal colony that is home to around 600 rare Australian seal lions and some passengers chose to do a more leisurely walk to the lookout or down the board to view the seals gathered on the beach. A wonderful experience and fantastic views.</p>http://escortedholidays.com.au/post/162621215550http://escortedholidays.com.au/post/162621215550Sun, 26 Feb 2017 00:00:00 -0500sealinksightseeingkangaroo islandseal bay cafeseal bayfood and winewildlifeaustralian sea lionssouth australiaescorted holidaysseesouthaustraliaseeaustraliatravelmustseewanderlustadventrureexploreaustraliagdaymateauthentickangarooisland<img src="https://66.media.tumblr.com/54ea2a503d54c762cfbdedc3965287ac/tumblr_oslwk3jPPN1uetlepo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="https://66.media.tumblr.com/3f30b1812edf74ec309456f3db1e5cab/tumblr_oslwk3jPPN1uetlepo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="https://66.media.tumblr.com/c096e72953fb1524b944bb228ccc4bf5/tumblr_oslwk3jPPN1uetlepo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="https://66.media.tumblr.com/eea259f4517cacf1538d950508adde08/tumblr_oslwk3jPPN1uetlepo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Day 3 - Our last stop for the day was at Point Ellen and Vivonne Bay (named Australia’s best beach) so take in the beautiful views of the bays. </p><p>A great 2 course dinner at the Kangaroo Island Seaside Inn followed by a lively Quiz night - just fun was had by all!</p>http://escortedholidays.com.au/post/162621475425http://escortedholidays.com.au/post/162621475425Sun, 26 Feb 2017 00:00:00 -0500sealinkescorted holidayskangaroo islandsouth australiapoint ellenvivonne bayseaside innkingscotesightseeingfood and winewildlifeseeaustraliaseesouthaustraliaadelaidemustseetravelwanderlustadventuregdaymateaustraliaauthentickangrooisland<img src="https://66.media.tumblr.com/8ea2d247e0f1e6f3a53be2d62dd16933/tumblr_oslu23KAbT1uetlepo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="https://66.media.tumblr.com/0e1da795a7f632d909a306aa57a46ec6/tumblr_oslu23KAbT1uetlepo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="https://66.media.tumblr.com/fc90bc93fd4d4c3b118943e217cfb1f2/tumblr_oslu23KAbT1uetlepo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="https://66.media.tumblr.com/8fb04f39871d69f4ea27a8c8881090a0/tumblr_oslu23KAbT1uetlepo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="https://66.media.tumblr.com/cf6f0bf66d7ca34d0f77b52bbfbbb922/tumblr_oslu23KAbT1uetlepo6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="https://66.media.tumblr.com/90c57a8e73d3e3ef8f1cb49f3f7db014/tumblr_oslu23KAbT1uetlepo7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="https://66.media.tumblr.com/36ee54eb821144040e89909b3c16b3fa/tumblr_oslu23KAbT1uetlepo8_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="https://66.media.tumblr.com/0b5aea68e6c83ac7607bca0a128837ae/tumblr_oslu23KAbT1uetlepo9_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="https://66.media.tumblr.com/738b0891236f18d12f8ac981d185c017/tumblr_oslu23KAbT1uetlepo10_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="https://66.media.tumblr.com/cf6f0bf66d7ca34d0f77b52bbfbbb922/tumblr_oslu23KAbT1uetlepo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Day 2 - We traveled north to discover the charming swimming beach and surrounding beauty of Stokes Bay.
