We went down to the seals first and Admirals Arch (very impressive). Plenty of seals to sea and always active. Great views over the water and some great places to sit and admire that view

We found the staff extremely friendly and helpful. Our lunch was first class. The stores had a good selection at reasonable prices.

absolutely stunning natural environment - several main focus points - the rocks were amazing, the lighthouse gorgeous, and loads of fantastic photo opportunities for those free souvenirs.. nice day trip from one end of the island to the other. Decent car recommended!

Australia as a whole is a must see place including kangaroo island there are so many wonderful places to see. In Flinders Chase national park the two main highlights for myself were Admiral Arch and Remarkable Rocks. The views are stunning along with the wildlife you will see. We stood for ages just watching the seals playing in the water... More

As with everything on Kangaroo Island, expect the views to be first rate, although not astounding as they are on the mainland. The rocks themselves are fun to explore and make for great photos. If you have a lot of time, you can even bike to this place since the roads are so good.

We arrived at the national park at about noon, which was actually quite late given that we wanted to visit Admirals Arch, Remarkable Rocks and also go on a few walks. We managed the first two and also the Platypus Walk which starts from the visitors' centre. The beauty of the place is absolutely stunning. I highly recommend getting to... More

Wish we had a bit more time in Flinders Chase Park - there is so much to see and do here. We only drove in to see the Remarkable Rocks and they did not disappoint. They really are amazing. We went a hour before sunset and it was really an ideal time to go - all the tourist buses were... More

We visited Remarkable Rocks just before lunch after a short boardwalk from the carpark, and were the only people there to enjoy these spectacular rock formations. REMARKABLE. Then on to Admirals Arch and the Fur seal colony - the walk to Admirals Arch is on quite a long boardwalk down to the Arch, but we didn't find it difficult or... More

The walk to the Platypus pools was through a burnt area, so the bush is still recovering. That was interesting although I would have liked to see the bush in good shape. However the worst came at the end of an 80 minute walk the access to the pools was closed so they could build "viewing platforms" - with the... More

Purchase your National Parks Pass from the Flinders Chase National Park office before going further into the park. There are no locked gates, so you can stay as long as you like once you have your pass. The walk to Admirals Arch is on quite a long boardwalk, we spoke to several older people who found the walk too arduous,... More
