A memorable day - The guide was very knowledgeable so the onboard commentary was very interesting and she spotted kangaroos and koalas as we drove along. The tour highlighted a selection of really interesting and different places of interest, so there was something for everyone. The lunch was extremely good too. We can recommend this tour as a great way of seeing Kangaroo Island.

Thank You Will for the Great time - Our driver/guide Will is absolutely excellent and very caring, informative, knowledgeable. The tour is very organized and lunch was healthy and delicious. The whole trip is the highlight of our trip to Australia. Highly recommend this tour as must do when visiting Adelaide. Of course, we got up early and drove to the port 30 minutes prior. Alternatively, we would take bus pick-up from hotels in Adelaide because it was late when the ferry returned and had to drive 2 hours back to Adelaide. The trip was perfectly planned and hit all the highlights.

Kangaroo Island day trip - Brilliant day trip with a friendly knowledgeable guide. We saw sea lions, fur seals, kangaroos, an echidna and a lizard, and got to stroke orphaned hand reared koalas and feed orphaned kangaroos. Amazing rock formations and views and a really good lunch. Highly recommended if you only have 1 day to see the island.

Wonderful tour to see KI - A very big trip 16 hours door to door from Adelaide.
The tour was great wonderful tour guide Danni a local full of knowledge.
Ample time to see the Island and experience its beauty a beautiful lunch .
I would highly recommend this tour.
Suggest you take some snacks .
Only negative would be the Sealink ferries customer service -10.
Leaving at 7:30pm they had enough food for 15 people they closed the cafe 10 minutes into the return trip to ensure you couldn’t even get a warm drink , crisps of water.
They even roped off the seating in the front of the ferry so you couldn’t sit there to reduce their cleaning time.
Disgraceful customer service.

A long day, but so much to see - Please be aware, this is a long day tour, even more so if you are doing it from Adelaide.
We enjoyed this tour but there is a lot of time on the bus. We did about 400km in a day with the stops in between. Seal bay was really great as was the wildlife park at the end. I. Australian and I had never patted a koala before this tour. So that was very special. We went to remarkable rocks, which we thought might be meh, but it was really nice and fantastic to see.
My only complaint was the lunch. It was average at best. Crumbed fish, chips and dry salad, already on the table when we arrived, Luke warm, no options unless you are vegetarian. I understand the need for a limited time stop, but many tours I have been on, lunch menus were passed around early in the day so orders could be phoned to the restaurant in time for lunch. Otherwise, our tour guide Danni, was fantastic, she is knowledgeable as she lives on the island and she made it very clear early on, what the schedule was for the day and the need to stick to her time lines. Everyone obeyed and the day went very well. I can recommend this tour, but be aware doing this in 1 day is a lot.

Very nice trip with a lot of... - Very nice trip with lots of good experiences. The trip does not get full pot of me because I think there was very much driving in the bus. It may well be because there are long distances to each of the places, which does. The guide/bus driver was nice and took care of us. All in all a trip that is definitely worth experiencing 😊

Good day for a Bus ride, not worth the money… - It’s a long day. Most time spent on the bus. The driver was great! However I felt it was not worth the money we paid. It is a huge island but the stops are very short and uneventful. The animal sanctuary was very very small and we could have been through it in 10 min. We did however get to touch a koala and feed the kangaroos! So that was a plus. We stopped at a couple rock formations, walked down to them and then back to bus. The driver gave lots of information while driving from point A to point B.
