What is the best time to visit Kangaroo Island?

November to April is the best time to visit Kangaroo Island, during the Summer and Autumn seasons. While the summers do have the best climate for visiting the island, the Autumn season sees relatively calmer oceans, perfect for enjoying the beach. It is also during Autumn that the nesting of the Little Penguins occurs, as well as the vibrant Kangaroo Island Festival, where one can see the best of the island’s delicious food and crafts showcased. For travellers looking for a cheaper holiday to the island, the best time to visit is from June to August during the winter season. While it can get quite cold on the island, the prices are lower. Winter season is also the time when kangaroos, koalas and wallabies are born.
