    Very disappointed with today's tour. We did not get to see the honey farm or eucalyptus farm or lavender farm as the whole day tour was combined with our half day tour. The gin distillery was also closed today Luckily our guide frank was very good and to us to a brewery and to see some wildlife But the 2 things we really wanted to see we missed out on and paid 250 pp for it

    We had an amazing time on the half-day tasting tour. Our tour guide was absolutely fantastic and truly made the experience so special with her knowledge, energy, and care. Every place we visited was wonderful and offered something unique. Such great value and a perfect way to explore — I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone!

    Great tour!!! Our guides Duncan & Caitlyn were lovely newly weds so knowledgeable about the area and an added bonus gave us lots of tips about the local fishing spots. Covered all the food and wine highlights. Great value too.

  • 5Very special personalised experience

    I booked this tour with my mum and we ended up being the only people booked in that day! Our lovely guide tailored the tour to our interests and shared his knowledge about the island and its produce. We had a great time and enjoyed sampling lots of local food and drinks. Would recommend this tour with no hesitation!

  • 4A great tour made even better by the guide.

    We spent a lovely day touring with this company. Our guide was very knowledgeable and really loved his part of the world. Invested in the environment he showed us many sites while we had a taste of Kangaroo Island's honey, gin, scones - those scones were big enough to feed a family just with one only. As a mildly disabled person, Josh was so helpful and made the day for me.

About Kangaroo Island

Kangaroo Island lies off South Australia, a rugged island of sea lions, koalas, granite coastline and empty beaches reached by ferry or a short flight.

Kangaroo Island is the third-largest island in Australia, lying across Backstairs Passage from the Fleurieu Peninsula south of Adelaide. A ferry crosses from Cape Jervis to Penneshaw, and Kingscote, the island's largest town, has an airport and a small harbour where little penguins come ashore at dusk. Much of the island is bushland and farmland, with few towns and long stretches of quiet coast.

Top-ranked sights in Kangaroo Island: Seal Bay Conservation Park, Admirals Arch, Remarkable Rocks.
