About Cape Gantheaume

Vast wilderness and Kangaroo Island's largest lagoon provide a spectacular backdrop to this protected area on the island's south coast. Murray Lagoon supports abundant wetland birdlife, while the Cape Gantheaume Coastal Trek offers experienced hikers over 30km of unmarked trail through undisturbed bushland to Bales Bay. New Zealand fur seals haul out along the coast, and endangered white-bellied sea eagles nest on the cliffs. The area is seasonally closed to protect nesting sites.
