Cruise Ship Port - Penneshaw
undefined undefined
Please note that due to construction at the terminal, the Council has requested that we avoid parking at the ferry terminal. We will be parked on North Terrace, which is straight ahead of the Sealink Terminal. There will be information staff there to help and point you in the right direction. As there is a slight hill, for those that have difficulty walking or anyone else, there will be a shuttle operated by the Kangaroo Island Tourism Body that will be shuttling guests up to our buses from 08:30am onwards. Please try and be on a tender as early as possible as we do have a deadline with departure times as per below: Scenic Tour - 08:30am - 09:00am. (Times may vary depending on time of first and last tenders coming across from Cruise Ship) We do receive notice from the Tourism Board 24 hours prior to the ship arriving, notifying us of the times of the 1st and last tender and we work in with that. We aim to depart 1 hour to 1.5 hours after the 1st tender. If the last tender is 5:00pm then we have you back by 4:30pm. If it's 5:30pm, we aim to be back by 5:00pm but most of the time we are back by 4:30pm. Please also note that if your cruise ship is arriving late and leaving early, we will have to alter the itinerary. If running late, please contact Kylie on 0458 471 419 - Ship doesn’t dock or tender is cancelled: No refund without Trip Protection. Trip Protection available on request For total peace of mind, we recommend adding Trip Protection when you book. Trip Protection includes: Full refund of tour cost (minus admin fee per person) even if your cruise ship skips the port or tenders are cancelled. Valid for any reason — weather, illness, delays, etc. “We missed our Kangaroo Island stop due to weather. Thankfully we added Trip Protection and got almost all our money back – no hassle!” – Susan D., Celebrity Cruise Passenger How to Add It: Contact us after booking. Because you didn’t come all this way to worry about what-if’s — you came to relax, explore, and enjoy. We’ll take care of the rest. Alternatively, TRAVEL INSURANCE - We HIGHLY recommend travel insurance It is the sole responsibilty of each individual to ensure they have travel insurance that covers cancellation fees of tours. If your cruise ship does not dock or tender and notice is given within that 24 hour period, our tours are non-refundable. You will be given a 50% credit to be used towards another tour at a later date and a letter for a travel insurance claim. A lot of expenses are incurred within this period for us and we have to prepay services that are non refundable such as bringing buses over from Adelaide, which is only done for cruise ship tours, catering for lunches, ferry costs, and wages. We understand that when a cruise ship does not dock, it is out of the travellers control, likewise, it is out of our control and we have NOT cancelled the tour and you will be viewed as a NO SHOW. Kangaroo Island Trails is NOT liable for your financial loss if you choose not to have travel insurance or Trip Protection.

    The driver/guide was enthusiastic about history and wildlife on the island. Since KI is so large, choices had to be made on what to visit within our time limit and he allowed us to guests/passengers to make some of them. There was a lot of driving time getting from one place to another. We were able to see some kangaroos and koalas which were the highlights of the tour.

    Please know that if you are on a cruise ship and the weather doesn't permit you to do this tour, this company will not refund your money (canceled 20 hours before tour). Although I should say they pick and choose who they refund as our friends on the cruise got fully refunded with the exact same tour and same ship, same circumstances. After many emails they still refused to refund us! Side note* we booked many tours with them over our 23 day cruise. Very disappointing and it will be our last tour booked with this company!

    The best tour I’ve ever gone on, I think the guide was Peter and he explained so much abt the island that if you came alone the experience would not be the same. He explained the history down to the beginning, the animals and the invasive animals, and there was so much more that I learnes that I otherwise would not have, like about the lighthouse at the far end of the island and how they built it out of pressure because of the shipwrecks, or the whiskey ships that crashed on the shore. There is just so much information that you would not learn without going on this tour. it was very thorough and way more worth it than the excursions on the cruise ship which were just like to one place and the excursions on the cruises were very expensive, and my parents who went on it said that the cruise tour was very rushed because the driver was rushing to pick up other tours. For this tour though they just picked up a small group and we had a very thorough experience on the island We saw kangaroos and echidnas and a lot of the more far areas that the cruise ship excursions didn’t go to. It was very worth it and I highly recommend booking this before it’s booked out The lunch was also nice and we got to see a lot of seals at admiral’s arch, and of course flinders chase

    If you want to see Australian wildlife out in the wild, this is a fantastic tour. Of course, there were no guarantees since they are wild, roaming free, but our guide Pete did a fantastic job trying to find the animals. He did not disappoint and we got to see everything! Kangaroos, koalas and sea lions. He was very informative and provided a lot of information and history about Kangaroo Island as he drove us around. We really enjoyed the tour and there were only 12 of us in a small bus, which was super nice. As we were all off a cruise ship, he was very aware of the time and made sure he got us back in time to make the ship. I would recommemd this tour to anyone who wants to see wildlife and only has a day to visit this beautiful place.

    Excellent. Tour was adapted to what the group wanted, and to ensure we got back to the ship tender in time.. We saw kangaroos, and koalas, good commentary when we were in the road.. Saw all the sea Lions right down the steps at seal beach. Guide was Pete and he was great!
