Overview

Mobile ticket
Welcome to Island life - where things take time, drivers wave as they go by - or even stop for a chat.
Have a cuppa with some home-made treats before taking a walk down a country track where koalas snooze overhead or wake briefly for a feed.
Walk through the bush with your guide - through strangely shaped trees learning what makes that noise, whose tracks are those, and who left THAT little pile there? Look for small wallabies almost extinct on the mainland, a kangaroo found only on Kangaroo Island and a variety of other birds, plants and animals.
Break for lunch at a private bush camp and enjoy a delicious meal featuring King George whiting (local sea fish), fresh salads and fine South Australian wines.
At Seal Bay Conservation Park take a private tour among Australian sea-lions on a beautiful sandy beach. Watch pups nursing or playing in the surf, see old bulls bearing the scars of territorial disputes and learn about their unique breeding biology.

5.00We had a fabulous tour with Lee Berryman back at the beginning of April. Lee knew where we would be able to see koalas, kangaroos and other wildlife - up close but respectful. Watching the sea lions on the beach was amazing and Lee was so informative - we learned a great deal about this beautiful island. He spoiled us with the coffee on the beach and with a fantastic lunch in the forest. Thank you Lee - a highlight of our 5 week trip to Australia.
Martin is an excellent tour guide.

5.00We spent a fabulous day touring the amazing sights on Kangaroo Island. Our driver and interpretive guide, Franck, was extremely knowledgeable and showed us some of the hidden gems on the island. In addition, he grilled a scrumptious lunch of the local whiting fish under a canopy in the forest. We couldn’t have had a better experience
The perfect start to visiting Kangaroo Island

5.00Our airplane arrived three hours late but our wonderful guide Yulia didn't miss a beat. She collected us from the airport and off we went! Within a few hours we'd had a delicious picnic in a forest setting, seen koalas, kangaroos, wallabies and an echidna, and learned so much about this beautiful place.

4.00We participated in the Flinders Chase Focus and Island Life tours on 2 consecutive days. We booked directly from Italy and all communications, regarding costs and details, were quick and comprehensive. Pick up and drop off took place directly from the Kingscote hotel and the group was 8 participants plus the guide/driver. We found the tours very well structured with adequate timing to enjoy the island's natural and wildlife beauties. Our guide turned out to be very capable and full of information. The lunch and bbq were very appreciated and created a very convivial atmosphere and a moment of acquaintance among the participants. A great experience.
Great day and amazing tour on Kangaroo Island.

5.00Our guide Franck was exceptional. He is extremely knowledgeable about everything from the animals to the history of the island. He is great company, interesting and fun to spend the day with. This really was the highlight of our trip. One of the great parts of the day was the superb lunch he prepared for us in the most out of the way place on the island. We would definitely recommend Exceptional Kangaroo Island and definitely request Franck.
A tour we won't soon forget.

5.00Our day spent with Dave was amazing. He showed us an island we will never forget. Our visit to see the sea lions was unforgetable. Our lunch in the 'wild' was delicious. We saw everything we wanted and his knowledge of island life and history was amazing. We were very lucky to have him!
Great Way to See a Beautiful Island

5.00We did the two day tour. Day one was a tour of the Island focusing on wildlife, beaches and Seal Bay. Day two was primarily a tour of Flinder's Chase National Park. Day one was a dream come true. Our guide Mar was out of this world. She was friendly, knowledgeable, flexible and helpful. We started with a stop at Seal Bay and her explanation of the history of sea lions and seals was really informative. We spent the rest of the day between beautiful beaches,a secluded spot for lunch and up close encounters with koala's sleeping in trees, kangaroos in multiple locations and wallabies. We also stopped at a very nice distillery. The day couldn't have been better and Mar was so accommodating that it felt more like exploring a beautiful place with an old friend that being on a tour. Our second day was with Shauna looking at areas impacted by a fire that devastated the Island and then exploring Flinder's Chase. Shauna was very knowledgeable and, as a long term resident seemed to know the story of every farmhouse we passed. The park is beautiful and has lots to see. My only complaint is that this tour involves an enormous amount of driving since our hotel was closer to the opposite end of the Island.
Just a wonderful day

5.00We were blessed in having Mark as our allocated guide for the day. He was simply the most knowledgeable, engaging , professional guide. There were just the two of us on the tour so he could ‘personalise’ the tour for us. Ascertaining that we were interested in birdlife allowed him to develop the day beyond the more obvious photogenic subjects (koalas etc) . We struck gold as Mark showed us a wide range of birdlife we’d have otherwise missed. The highlight was a pair of the threatened red tailed black cockatoos. Nothing was too much trouble for Mark, we’d go on a tour with him anywhere safe in the knowledge we’d come away more informed than when we started. Top tour, top fella, this day was one of the real highlights of our long tour of SA. If you’ve any interest in wildlife, history, nature and ecology this tour is for you.
