Continue to Vivonne Bay for a 2-course lunch at Vivonne Bay Bistro, where picture windows and a deck provide opportunities to watch for koalas and kangaroos in the surrounding bush.
After lunch, visit Flinders Chase National Park on the rugged southwest coast of the island to walk among the granite boulders known as the Remarkable Rocks. See the rock archway known as Admirals Arch, admire Cape du Couedic and watch long-nosed fur seals as they play and relax.

Traveler Tips
- "It is a long drive to go to the island and by plane, it is only 20 min flight but it is more expensive." See review
- "Long day but worth it to see the island even though some attractions were off limits due to recent fires." See review
- "The water is calmer in the morning (can't really see much from the ferry so it's not like you whale watch, etc." See review
