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.

Kangaroo Island scenic trail tour did not disappoint. Stunning views at every stop and a tasty lunch to top it off. Easy pick up near the cruise terminal with a short walk.

NO WILDLIFE SEEN - DISAPPOINTING

While you see a pic of a koala in the ad, there was no wildlife to be seen- no koalas, no kangaroos in a place called kangaroo island! At the end of the day when we spoke to many people who were on other tours, all had drivers who stopped and/or took them past areas where they saw wildlife. We did not have that experience and I must say how extremely disappointing that was, in spite of the beautiful coastline and rocks we did see. I would not recommend this tour unless you are okay with not seeing wildlife, and also being in a bus with 40+ people. Not what I bargained for!
Kangaroo Island Scenic Tour - we were ripped off!

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!
WARNING Don't book if your on a cruise.

Michael Kaplan Local Guide·20 reviews·12 photos just now New WARNING! DO NOT BOOK THIS "CRUISE SHIP TOUR" unless tou like to gamble with your money. We were notified at 2 pm on the day prior to our scheduled 9am tour that we couldn't go to Kangaroo Island on the Celebrity Edge due to weather affecting the tenders. We immediately informed the tour operator who said, tough luck. 21 hr notice isn't good enough. "We get to keep all of the money from your entire busload of people, too bad." Every other cruise ship tour.I've scheduled independently has a clause that says, if your ship does not dock, you get your money back. NOT THIS ONE. We r out over five hundred dollars for the four of us and are left to try to get some kind of refund from our credit card. Your cruise ship insurance will not cover this.

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
Exceptional tour of Kangaroo Island seeing wildlife

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

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!
