Hi Archar
Firstly congratulations for choosing such a fantastic location for taking your family, you are in for a real ball. Give yourself lots of time to explore the Island, as there are over 1600 kilometres of fantastic tracks to explore.
For best value, make sure that you purchase the National Parks Pass, valid for 12 months, but gives you unlimited access to all the main feature in national parks on the Island, eg Seal Bay Beach walk with the Seals, the
Lighthouse tours, etc.
If I told you here on the
forum that the
Chapman River camping is the best, then everyone will want to
camp there, so keep it a secret.
I have written a couple of
Blogs on the Island, so follow the Links Below:

Enjoy the Island and you will want too return.
Please feel free to ask any further questions.
Cheers
Stephen

Fantastic
blogs Stephen.
My wife and I visited KI for around 7-10 days duration several years ago and I now realise that I have to return for a second look and this time make the extra effort to do the
walking tracks that you have included in your blog.
Your photos along these tracks are wonderful and I'm thinking that maybe we missed the best of what there is too see eventhough we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend the island to anyone.
Just an aside to your blog, I noticed that you have the same vehicle that I do and I was just wondering what are the tyres that are on it in the photos?
kindest regards,
Wayne

Hi Wayne
Thanks for that, and yes it is a top destination to visit again and again.
As for the tyres on my Prado, I am running Bridgestone LT 694 in the standard sizing of 265/65 17. They are very quiet on the road and you would never know that they are LT's.
Cheers
Stephen
