Jo Anne was amazing and so knowledgeable. She shared all details of the land, people and history of the establishment and currently happenings with the KI community. Was also a great experience for our 5 year old, and many core memories made for her.

It was a great tour but most of time on this tour is spent on traveling. They should maybe decrease the number of sights and increase time spent at each one.

Coach pick from the hotel was bang on time. Drivers on both sides were friendly and informative. Fitted a lot in one day. Can hold a koala if you want but you get to go in the enclosure anyway. Fed some kangaroos. Unique experience and saw plenty of wild sea lions. All ferry tickets provided and plenty of rest stops. You leave at 6.30am and get back after 10.30pm do it's a long day. Very professional outfit.

The Kangaroo Island tour was enjoyable overall, with a well-structured program, beautiful scenery, and interesting locations. Most of the tour left a positive impression. However, there are a few aspects that could be improved. First, the tour operator did not respond to private messages, which made it difficult to clarify organizational details in advance. Second, the lunch was quite modest — a chicken salad and a small dessert. For such a long tour, this felt insufficient. Additionally, too little time was allocated for the final stop at Kangaroo Island Wildlife Park. It would have been nice to spend more time walking around and observing the animals. In my opinion, it would make more sense to skip the formal lunch and offer simple sandwiches on the bus instead, while allocating more time to the park. This would make the tour even more comfortable and memorable.

The trip was amazing . The guide was really engaging and very knowledgeable. Visiting kangaroo island was on my bucket list and was very very excited to visit , and the place was even more beautiful than I imagined . The food was great ! But I was waiting on my entire trip for something, as I informed earlier that it was my husband’s birthday and if they could do anything just to make the day and the trip more memorable. I think some miscommunication happened or I donno what , I got informed through an email that , they have taken this into notice and would do some about it , but I was a little disappointed as nothing happened .

This trip was the highlight of my time in Adelaide. My guide was immensely knowledgeable and had many engaging and exciting stories to share about the many parts of the island. The highlights we saw on the tour were all nothing short of incredible as well. I cannot recommend this experience enough!

One of the very best tours that I have taken. I joined at Cape Jervis (not Adelaide). As soon as we boarded the coach until we returned to the ferry 9 hours later, Joanne our driver & guide, told us stories & informed commentary about the island’s social, aboriginal & white settler histories; the ecology, geology and geography all told from a soundly informed and knowledgeable depth. We saw amazing and wonderful sights, ate well and were entertained with Joanne’s sense of humour. Thank you - truly an informative, action packed day.

It is a long day with a lot of time traveling. Do it over 2 days. You see a lot over the day is you only have time for one day. The tour guide was great.
absolutely amazing as a solo backpacker!

It was absolutely amazing! It’s a long day but its so worth it!! Our tour guide was super funny and we were always happy and entertained during the bus drives:) I‘d recommend it to solo backpackers especially because you meet people on your trip very easily and can spend the whole day getting to know them and the awesome island🥹
