    We had a fun day with Caitlin she was passionate about her job good sense of humour. The scones at the lavender farm were huge. The winery we went to had great wine , loved the gin distillery and had a great burger there. The cidery was an interesting place and saw kangaroos up close

  • 5The perfect day!

    I’d give this tour ten stars if I could. One of the best we’ve ever taken. Kaitlyn was wonderful, fun, full of information, and eager to show us all an unforgettable day. Besides all the scheduled stops, seeing the wild kangaroos and koalas made our tour perfect!

  • 1Terrible experience with Kangaroo Island Trails

    We have had a terrible experience dealing with Kangaroo Island Trails. Our ship captain announced on the 6th of March that due to poor weather, we would not be visiting Kangaroo Island the following day. I notified Kangaroo Island within 10 minutes of this announcement, however they have refused to provide any refund at all. The customer service has been very poor. I have sent numerous emails and messages in which they did not acknowledge at all. I can still not believe that this company would not offer any refund at all on over $400, where there only reason we did not do the 'Ship shore excursion' was because our ship did not go to Kangaroo Island.

  • 5So many experiences and back to the ship in plenty of time!

    What a great day with Kaitlin! We made every stop on the itinerary with enough time to taste and explore and shop. She made it clear we would return to our cruise ship in plenty of time which we did. We had so much fun tasting lavender scones (amazing!), honey, wine, gin, cider and learning how they are produced. I would definitely recommend this excursion!

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.
