Private Eco Tour of Kangaroo Island.
If you like the idea of independent travel where you decide where you go, how long you stay and who you go with, but don't have the resources or knowledge to do it, and you want to reduce your enviromental impact on the pristine eco systems you visit, then a Private Eco Charter of Kangaroo Island is the ideal solution.
We offer Private Eco Charters for families, groups of friends and businesses who want to experience Kangaroo Island on their own terms. We cover the whole island and you can select one of the pre set itinerarys, or we can customise an itinerary for you based on your needs or special interests.
The tours are Nature Besed and offer Best Practice Eco Touring, we have introduced many carbon reduction initiatives such running vehicles on Bio Diesel, staying in Solar Powered Private Baech Cabins and practicing Minimal Impact Tourism. More about our Eco Features.
And just because this is an Eco Tour, don't expect to miss out on anything, our tours focus on the Natural Aspects of Kangaroo Island and get you into the wilderness, viewing wildlife in the wild while still sampling some of the best food and wine the island has to offer.

Private Eco Cabins.
Although there is a range of accommodation options at our dispossal, for the true Eco experience we recommend the Ante Chamber Bay Eco Cabins, located in a natural bush setting at Ante Chamber Bay, the cabins have been designed and built with full eco specifications and are only 50 metres from the beautiful Ante Chamber Bay Beach.
Native wildlife, especially Kangaroos, Tamar Wallabies (extinct on mainland Australia) and Possums also occupy the property and can be easily seen grazing around the cabins at night, penguins also call the sand dunes home and can be seen, completelty in the wild comming ashore on the beach after a hard days fishing.
Ante Chamber Bay is a large natural bay with a white sandy beach located on the eastern end of Kangaroo Island. The beach is sheltered and very safe for swimming. Behind the beach the Chapman River winds it's way throught the sand dunes where it enters the ocean on the beach and the area contains ample native vegitation, much of it protected by the Lashmar Conservation Park.
The eco features of the accommodation includes;
Solar panels are used to collect electricity to power lights and refrigeration but you won't even notice the difference!
Rainwater is collected from the roofs of all buildings on the property and stored in a series of interlinked tanks that enable sharing of the water.
The solar heated water is held in recycled aluminium drums and heavily insulated in the Amenities Centre roof.
Australian-made Nature-Loos - they are chemical free, use no water and don't pollute the environment. Better than that they are 100% odourless!
Australian cyprus pine was used as it is a natural white ant deterrent. Plumbing fittings, kitchen areas and much of the building timber and windows are recycled materials.
No chemicals are used to clean the facilities. Kangaroo Island's Emu Ridge eucalyptus oil in a 10/90 water mix is used for its natural disinfectant properties. Enjo fibres are used with small amounts of water and bicarbonate of soda is used as an abrasive cleaner. Vanilla essence is used in a 10/90 water mix as a fridge deodoriser.
