Fantastic introduction to Kangaroo Island - My friend and I had a fantastic time on this three day tour! We saw wild kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, sea lions, and geckos - and we were lucky enough to see an echidna, too. The stops were all enjoyable and there was a pleasant amount of walking involved. Our guide, Gianna, was as personable as she was professional and catered expertly to every tourgoer's needs. Recommended, especially for those who have never been to Kangaroo Island before!

More than just recommended - an absolute highlight - We saw a lot of animals. My highlights were the visit to the seal colony and the one with the volunteers at a rescue center for injured animals, where we were able to feed young kangaroos. But the koalas, where we stopped on a tip, and the echidna that crossed the road on the day of our arrival were also absolutely amazing. On our trip, the tour guide had just finished training his successor. This meant that we had two tour guides, both of whom were more than average and provided an unforgettable experience and additional information. If I had six stars to give, I would give six.

Nature, wildlife pure! Highly recommended - Can highly recommend. Was nervous about the swags, but perfectly fine and safe on an private camp site. Our guide Gianna did an amazing job. Safe driving, watching out for us to drink enough and not forget sunscreen. It was a fun group. We saw lots of wildlife which I loved, as I was hoping for that. Took nice beach swims as well. And even a flat tire Gianna handled so well, I was impressed.

So many experiences packed in three days! - What an amazing trip! From beginning to end, I was impressed by Untamed Escapes. The people in the booking office were great, responding promptly to all of my queries and it felt like they truly cared about their customers. Our guide, Brendan, was superb! He was energetic, knowledgeable, funny and engaging. He added personalized touches that made the trip feel quite unique and memorable. It felt like we were one big family, participating in setups and meal preparations. We saw multiple animals and took in many beautiful sites. Sleeping amongst the stars in our swags was certainly a different experience, but one that I am more than glad I did. Would highly recommend the tour!

Amazing trip! - This trip was amazing! I had the best time! And as a solo traveller it was a great bunch with a mixture of people who were all so lovely! The tour was packed full and I think it could be even better if it was a 4 day tour to fit a bit more in and spend a little longer at places. The guides were amazing and food was so good and dietary needs were SO well catered for! Would highly recommend!

Great experience and guide - Had a great as a family touring the Kangaroo Island with Untamed Escapes! Our guide Emily was very knowledgeable, fun and caring! She wanted everyone of us to get the best experience on this tour and we did! We also like the structure of the tour where a bit of conservation work was included. Will definitely recommend this to others.

Not much of an Adventure tour - It was ok, Tour says adventure tour however there wasn’t much adventure, mainly visited gift shops which was pretty boring specially for people who is traveling last thing we want is buy extra stuff and smell candles, only one that should be kept on the tour is the winery, the seals and remarkable rocks definitely a highlight, but that’s it, remove all the gift shops from the tour and include more wildlife and actual adventures like hikes, felt like we were just driving for ages to go from shop to shop, which is pretty tiring, couldn’t do the volunteering so should have a back up plan for it too, food was good, just the house toilet has a really bad smell so that should be sort out too.
