5.00Great service, great people.
Ridiculously overprized

1.00To pay 80$ per person for a round trip and 400$ for a car is just a rip off. Completely unjustifiable. KI would be a good place to go. The ferry fares kills it.
It was a great tour, but...

5.00It was a great tour, but as mentioned in other reviews, it is a packed day of activities for both days.. We had 2 different guides (a different one each day) on the island. Both did an excellent job. I would suggest perhaps offering it as 2 night stay on the island. That way things might not be as rushed - trying to get everything covered and making the last ferry.
Wild coasts, beautiful beaches and abundant wildlife.

5.00Ferry a little expensive but very friendly and accommodating personal regarding the reservation. The island is interesting with beautiful sites, abundant wildlife. A destination worth a visit
Good stay. Day 1 on itinerary better than 2 bd.

4.00We did the second day tour first and were only 5 people. There is a lot of travelling and2 of the stops were at places where products are made and sold. Quite interesting but the trip is costly to go to places where there are sales opportunities. The guide was good and knowledgeable.The overnight stay was OK although pub food not great. Day 2 we were on a 50 seater coach. Another long day of travel but very interesting stops . There is a lot of time spent on the coach . Overall we enjoyed our trip . Richard and Will were both very helpful .
Do the day tour but not the 2 days tour

3.00Kangaroo island is 100% worth visiting but the 2 days tour doesn't make a lot of sense. As guest you spend basically the first day with all other single day tour guests rushing from major site to next and on the second day you don't do any major sites and instead visit local farms. That is such a shame as Sealink could really offer something great by tailoring their tours and differentiating between one day and two day guests. As they aren't doing it, I would recommend just doing the day tour

5.00I did a two day tour of Kangaroo Island and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone who is interested in the wildlife of Australia. KI is a delight, calm, peaceful and so much to see. Our tour guide, Joanne, was interesting and knowledgeable throughout. You can do a one day trip but it’s an incredibly long day if you’re coming from and going back to Adelaide so have one night on the island and really enjoy it.
Avoid the Ferry. DiY KI.

3.00Early start. Tour listed to have Max 35 guests. We had 50 on a crowded bus! Good guides/drivers both days. Plenty of driving between attractions with virtually non existent views from the bus. Very limited time at attractions exacerbated by increased numbers of guests. Some lost time retracing route to pick up other guests. Natural attractions, rock, arch & seals is of course why we are there. Generally feel that 70% of the attractions visited are for the sole purpose of buying overpriced products or junk. (wine, eucalyptus oil, honey) Lunch on second day was below average given the cost of the tour. Accommodation and breakfast very good. Raptor Domain & KI Wildlife Park a highlight. Unfortunately the two day tour goes there both days. This is the problem with combining both tours to maximise Sealink profit to the disadvantage of two day tour guests eventhough there were fewer guests on the second day. Disappointed not to have seen Kingscote or other island passage coastal sights. Two day tour in current format not recommended. Advertised max 35 tour guests was not adhered to. Not good value for money. Best thing to do - fly to KI and hire a car. Avoid the high ferry cost and self guide would not be a problem.
