• 5Fantastic Tour

  Tour was wonderful. Despite delays (related to guests) which forced changes to the itinerary, we had a full day and saw lots of wildlife and many habitats. Our tour guide Darren was fabulous and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend this tour.h

• 1Disappointing Tour

  The itinerary was changed midstream. We did not see the rocks which is why we booked our trip. I have tried to let the provider know but they do not provide a link.

• 4Cruise ship tour Kangaroo Island

  We enjoyed this tour and lunch was very nice, but Kangaroo Island is very large and to drive 400km in a day means you spend a lot of time driving. You also need the patience of the latecomers from the ship, seems no matter how detailed instructions people will still just turn up as they please late. Can't fault the tour operator as that is beyond their control, unless they have two buses to take the early risers out first. Our tour guide Roger was great at getting us around and returned to the ship. Loved Kangaroo Island its now a place I would like to return to.

• 5Wonderful day trip on KI.

  We had an excellent full day trip with Darren (so?). He was an excellent driver and was full of local knowledge, history, and charm, without feeling the need to fill every minute of the drive with talk The tour included admiral’s arch, the remarkable rocks, seal Bay, and a. spot to get out of the bus, stretch our legs and spot some wild koala’s in a small gum tree grove. Excellent generous chicken salad with carrot cake and fruit juice. . All in all, an excellent way to pass a day. We highly recommend this tour.

  Full day, lots of natural beauty. Courteous and knowledgeable guide. Maybe too much driving from place to place.

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.
