We suggest a morning ferry to arrive as there is so much to see near the Ferry arrival point that you will want to take your time heading to us.
Once arriving on Kangaroo Island at Penneshaw, it takes first time visitors about 30 minutes to drive around to American River to locate Sunrise on Falie. This is not a crowded Island and for some International Visitors its a bit surprising to have the roads so free of traffic. Take your time. Along the way, why not stop off at Pennington Bay (5 minutes off main road) for your first look at the Southern Ocean in whatever mood it has in mind at that very moment. Its well signposted.
