5.00Great experience. Our Guide/Driver Richard was a wealth of knowledge of Kangaroo Island and what to expect at each destination. The lunch meals were great.
Tour great. Some disappointments

4.00Tour guide was amazing. His level of knowledge and commentary was incredible. Enjoyed the whole day. Lunch was provided as gluten free and was lovely. My only issue was, on the ferry, they had the gluten free options surrounded by glutened cakes. By the end of the trip to KI the carrot cakes were knocked all over them making them extremely dangerous to anyone who is gluten free. I mentioned this to them and they apologized. On the trip home, I looked again and found they had done nothing to fix the issue. I mentioned it again and hope they took my protests on board.
Just book it!

5.00The day was spectacular. We stayed on KI and met our transport driver at the airport. From there were dropped off by Sealink at the Emu Ridge Eucalyptus Distillery which was a GREAT stopover while we awaited pickup from the Sealink tour bus. It was a full bus with 50 people but don’t let that scare you— the driver/guide was amazing. We hit Seal Bay, Remarkable Rocks, the Arch, stopped for a wonderful lunch (where we bought a bottle of local wine), and the wildlife sanctuary. The day was spaced wonderfully, never spending too much time on the bus. The tour guide was fun and funny, and so knowledge about the history of KI, the landscape and climate, fauna and flora, the wildlife, and local attractions. The day trip was a really great value and I would recommend it 100%!
What a great tour

5.00Yes, you’re on the coach a lot. But there’s a lot of miles to cover to show you the top 4 attractions on kangaroo island. Totally worth it in my opinion. The best tour and our guide, Richard, made it even better. So knowledgeable on flora and fauna. Fantastic day.

4.00Great tour of major sights in a full sized coach with stops at a number of highlights. Slow start after pick up and transfer.
Very negative and distressing experience

1.00Very negative and distressing experience during a bushfire emergency. It is extremely disappointing that, as the main company managing tourism on the island, SeaLink was so poorly prepared and showed such disregard for passenger safety and wellbeing. They were already aware from Monday morning that there were active bushfires and emergency conditions, yet the tour was not cancelled. Why continue operating when the situation was clearly unsafe? This decision put our safety at risk and was completely irresponsible. After ferry services were cancelled, we were left stranded with no clear information, no contingency plan, and no real assistance. There were people in our group with medical needs who depended on medication, and at no point did we feel supported. We were abandoned to our fate during a crisis. Instead of help, we were pushed toward extremely expensive accommodation, lost flights due to the lack of timely communication, and experienced hostile, inhumane treatment from a guide who even suggested sleeping on the beach. A promised pickup the next morning never happened, and staff were completely unaware of our situation. We were forced to buy last-minute flights at an enormous cost. This experience was heartbreaking and emotionally exhausting. The way this situation was handled affected not only our physical safety but also our emotional stability. Because of this negligence, I am now demanding a full refund. The island deserves far better, and after what we went through, no one in our group wants to return.
