We were unable to do this tour as the wind was high and the cruise ship could not get its passengers to shore. We had to cancel our tour at the last minute and appreciated the professional way this company dealt with it. We were issued a full refund.

Kangaroo Island: Half-Day Tour Guided Coach Tour thru Get Your Guide. Tour was in a 30-person bus with a nice young lady as our guide and driver. The tour duration was five hours long. We left out of Penneshaw with our first destination being a Eucalyptus distillery, the only one left in Australia. They offered many different products featuring eucalyptus oils. Saw a kangaroo and an emu at this location. We next stopped at a honey producer where you could purchase all honey related products. Next, we went into the town of Kingscote, and we had almost an hour to explore. On to a local brewery to enjoy a local brew. Our last stop was overlooking Pennington Bay which was very enjoyable.

Bus driver drove way to fast. Was wet and raining and she did not drive to the conditions. We felt unsafe while on the un sealed sections of the road. We had to ask driver to slow down, so we could enjoy the experience. Got to see some nice parts of the Island. The guides also need to stop saying that Flinders discovered KI. This is not true. Aboriginal people have lived here for ober 60,000 years. They need to know the history, and start telling the truth. Flinders explored, he did not discover. Please educate the guides on this.
Tour was rushed, not worth the money
