The tour was amazing. Highly recommended for two days or even three days. Lots of nature to explore. Holding 🦅 exploring bee farm (really nice honey) and marvellous sea views. You can also see seals 🦭. They are very cute. And the tour guides Adam and Kevin are very nice. They would like to explain things to you. Also met people from the world (England, France, German, Canada) and people from other states of Australia. I would like to stay in the island 🏝️

Kangaroo Island Adventure

Don_F, Jan 2024

The two days on KI were excellent, just to see the local flora and fauna recovering from the terrible bushfires of a couple of years ago. The scenery was spectacular around the Remarkable Rocks and Admirals arch , the sea lions and seals also caught our attention!

Kangaroo Island

I had a great time. The tour was well organized and ran on time. The staff were wonderful, friendly and made you feel included. The staff provided an informative commentary on the island's history and todays story. I would recommend this tour for a solo traveler.

Over priced. Some great bits and some not so

Roy_B, Apr 2023

I booked this trip in Jan 2023 and paid £500. I was a single traveller so paid a hefty premium! The score I have given is made up from a number of different items. First the 5/5 - the sea lions, the seals and the geological rocks, they were all were great. However I selected the trip as it was clearly advertised as having a max size of 30 people, on this basis I paid the top price as shown above.. Both days there were over 50 on the bus. I raised this with Sealink the operator and they weren't interested at all! The trip was a little chaotic as there were people on day 1 of 2, some on day 2 of 2 and maybe even some on a single day. This led to the driver having to resolve all of the conflicting associated travel issues. At the end of day 1, we were dropped of here and there and people were concerned about where they were staying, when they would be getting on the ferry etc. I had a query on this to raise with Gary, the driver and I formed a queue behind others. when it was my turn somebody else butted in and Gary then accused me of getting Sh*tty about the situation when all I was doing was just waiting my turn. The two lunches were a bit basic when assessed against the overall trip cost and when having breakfast the second morning, I asked for coffee AND an orange juice and had to pay for a second drink, even though I had forked out £500.00. The first day consisted of mostly 'padding' trips to a wine tasting, even though I had come from Adelaide the wine tasting capital of Australia!, and a honey farm... surely everybody knows how they make honey and a somewhat bizarre Eucalyptus distillery. all of which had a shop attached. The Raptor visit was okay and the owl popping out of the dead tree was good theatre. Day 2 with Hamish was when we visited all of the good stuff, as noted above. So, expensive for what I experienced. The Party size was not what was advertised, and not what I had specifically selected and paid for. Paying extra for orange juice.. ..come on! Flustered driver dealing with multiple people all doing different things. I have tried to find a complaints section on anybody's web site and needless to say there is no path to do so. That knocked another star off of my trip rating. All my comments I would have liked to have discussed with somebody direct. Not finding a way to do so means they all sit in this review

Rocks, Seals, Raptors, Honey, Native Animals and Eucalptus Oil: A Varied 2 days

ALICK_K, Feb 2022

Hamish the tour leader was excellent. Despite the constant rain over the 2 days, Kangaroo Island has a 'magic' serene feel about it. The Remarkables and Admiralty Arch are obvious high-lights as was the raptor display. Particulaly enjoyed seeing the trained magpies collecting rubbish and depositing it in the bin at the start of the show. There was constant variety over the 2 days and the overnight stay at a room overlooking the mainland was a bonus. Only criticisms were the bus which had a leak through the overhead vent due to the rain, and the included lunches might have been better. The one at Vivonne Bay has highly forgettable. Overall, however, a recommended tour.

KI is a winner.

Karen_R, Mar 2021

The destination points were well worth the long trips in the bus. The Remarkable Rocks were incredible and in the the 2 days we covered all the wonderful sites we wanted to see in this amazing place. The buses were very comfortable and our driver, Adam, was extremely friendly. The fact that he is a KI local meant he had some interesting stories to tell. We would highly recommend this trip. It is well worth the very reasonable cost.

Beau mais bcp de km à parcourir et bcp de transport…a y penser.

Sylvie_T, Mar 2024

1er journée exténuante car on fait bcp bcp de route pour voir 4 à 5 choses. Oui c’est beau mais vraiment trop de transport. D’abord 2 hrs d’autobus pour se rendre au ferry, ferry 1/2 hrs et ensuite près de 300 à 400 km de route entre 10hrs am et 7 hrs le soir arrivé à l’hôtel Puis le lendemain parti à 9: 30 am pour visiter mielrie petit show d’oiseaux, huile d’eucalyptus et dégustation de vins très ordinaire. Les repas sont succulents et l’hôtel est superbe.le retour de la 2ieme journée ferry a 7:30hrs pm 1/2 ferry, puis près de 2 1/2 pour revenir au bus station. Très tard, bcp de transport … y penser car l’île est grande et les choses à visiter sont loin les une des autres. Beaux paysages, belles plages pas baigna les. Beaucoup d’animaux .

Really nice even with the rain

Lucie_L, Nov 2023

Voyage au cœur de la nature, certaines fermes semblent hors du temps. Repas inclus simple (salade) un petit peu décevant mais locaux très gentils. Le spectacle d’oiseaux a été mon coup de cœur !

Naturaleza pyea

Me gusto el contacto con la naturaleza Sunque creo que el tiempo en cada punto de interés debería ser más
