Acquiring TRAVEL INSURANCE is strongly advised. Occasionally, due to extreme weather conditions, the ship’s captain may decide to prevent the tenders from landing. In such cases, because of the significant cost incurred in organizing cruise ship excursions, we are unable to provide a refund. We recommend investigating different travel insurance plans as some may cover cancellation fees due to harsh weather, but others might not. Also, do consider the deductible. If you opt for the Cruise Ship company’s travel insurance, it won’t cover external tours. You can reach us at [email protected] for more information on travel insurance options.
- Minimum drinking age is 18 years
- Please note that Travel Insurance is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED as from time to time the captain may cancel the tenders from coming in due to severe weather or other issues. In this event, due to the expenses involved in preparing for the cruise ship tours, we do NOT offer a refund.

Excellent day with a good overview of Kangaroo Island - Viator provided a very good day with Katlin in an SUV with 2 other passrnges in a private relaxed tour of KI. We enjoyed Gin tasting, honey tasting, wine tasting & the most enormous Lavender scones with jam & cream. She adhered to a time table returning us to Penneshaw well in time to catch the tender back to the ship. I would recommend this company

Great tour with it all. - The entire tour was the best. Lutz was our tour guide & his knowledge of the area as a 25 year resident plus was noteworthy.
The stops at the lavender farm,the town of Kingscote,the distillery & the winery were great so varied. I feel we definitely got great value .

Excellent KI experience - All the tasting experiences were excellent particularly the Gin followed by the wine. We learned so much. The pace of the day was about right and the driver was very knowledgeable. Be aware the tour does not depart from the dock but from a park close by. The ticket from Viator said pick-up was from cruise ship port. On arrival the Sealink ferry was in and obscured the private tours signage & the port volunteers gave us wrong info. We were very lucky to make our tour even though we waited over 35 minutes for it, in the wrong place!

Good value, lots of experiences in the one day. - The tour guide/driver was engaging, funny and very knowledgeable on KI and many other topics. His easy going approach is supported by his wealth of varied experiences, really impressive.
I have been to KI a number of times, but learnt and saw much more than before.

Definitely a tasting tour worth the time. - We had a great day on kangaroo island with a small group of 14. The lavender farm was a good thing morning tea with scones and jam and cream very generous servings. The Gin distillery was great very informative and lots of different flavours. Bay of Shoals winery was lovely the staff so friendly, very generous tastings. Overall a very long but totally enjoyable and well worth the price we paid. Our guide was very informative new a bit about lots of things kept us asking questions. I highly recommend King Island Trails
