| KI Racing Carnival |
The SeaLink Kangaroo Island Racing Carnival features two exciting race days, the first on Thursday 17 February followed by the main race day, the KI Cup, on Saturday 19 February.
According to Julie-Anne Briscoe, SeaLink SA’s Marketing Manager, this year’s carnival has never been more popular.
“Bookings this year have been phenomenal, and whilst the popular Long Lunch Marquee and Party Tents have sold out, there are still plenty of General Admission tickets left.”
“General Admission punters can enjoy the races from the lawned areas of ‘The Hill’, where tables, chairs and umbrellas will be set up right next to the Bookmakers and TAB van. Punters can also watch the races from the ‘The Garden’ with its cocktail bars, food offerings and mobile TAB van,” Says Ms Briscoe.
SeaLink is offering Kangaroo Island Cup Day packages departing from Adelaide and Cape Jervis for Saturday February 19.
The Full Day Race Package departing Adelaide includes morning coach pick-up and evening set down at selected Adelaide hotels, or the Adelaide Central Bus Station, return SeaLink ferry, return transfers to the Cygnet River Racetrack and a general admission ticket. The package is priced at $189 per adult and $86 per child.
For those travelling from Cape Jervis, the Full Day Race package is priced at $141 per adult and $62 per child and includes return SeaLink ferry, return transfers to the Cygnet River Racetrack and a general admission ticket.
For locals or those holidaying on Kangaroo Island there are return race day transfers from Penneshaw priced at $42 per adult and $21 per child, or from American River priced at $38 per adult and $19 per child.

The carnival also features plenty of exciting events before the Kangaroo Island Cup. Get to know some of the horses at the Thursday race meet, with gates opening at 11am and tickets only $16 per adult and children under 15 free.
On Thursday evening enjoy the Kangaroo Island Racing Club’s Cocktail Party with live music and bar snacks at the Aurora Ozone Hotel in Kingscote from 7pm. Tickets available through Aurora Ozone Hotel.
Friday is a lay day between race meetings and Dudley Wines is hosting ‘Punter’s Intermission’- the perfect afternoon of live music, delicious food, and of course great wines. On Sunday, they’ll will do it all over again between 10am and 5pm.
For the best Kangaroo Island Cup experience an extended stay before or after the carnival is the only way to see Kangaroo Island’s fascinating wildlife, spectacular coastal scenery and landscapes, pristine beaches and many amazing attractions and tours.
SeaLink also offer a range of wildlife, food and wine and nature-based day tours and two to five-night self-drive packages. There is something for everyone and tours can easily be combined with a race day package for the ultimate holiday adventure.
