Quick trip - Fantastic quick trip to kangaroo island with highlight stops. Was a really full on day! Definitely a must visit place. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Bucket List - Kangaroo Island. - Excellent company, staff were very friendly, nothing too much, food was great, tour was well organised. Everywhere we went we were greeted by knowledgeable staff and friendly dogs. Even though the day we went was very warm we were not kept waiting in the sun. Ensure to put Kangaroo Island on your bucket list and give this tour a go.

Memorable excursion. - Friendly staff, very well organised, experienced something different like honey bees, wild birds, wine tasting, eucalyptus tree products, etc. The only regret, we don’t have much time to explore. My suggestion is: maybe try a tour with one night accommodation.

Kangaroo island delivered the memories - This was a very long day but I thought it was a great day . I know some on the group found too long.
Guide went out of her way to make memories for us, tracking down a koala family snuggled in the trees.
Great wine and food
Appreciated the drop off at the hotel door after a long day

Many discoveries - Beautiful day, many discoveries, the tour is very varied and complete: (landscapes, animals, buildings, ...). The driver/guide Chris extraordinary (anecdotes, explanations, draw attention to things to see,...) and excellent driver, fast and safe, in order to keep a very tight schedule.
More relax on 2 days but otherwise this tour is really worth it!!

Must see. - Fantastic day, loved loved the raptor domain interaction bird show. Lots of opportunities to get pictures. All our stops were fantastic. Lunch was great. Hamish our tour guide was very informative and so friendly. But it was a very long day. 16.5hrs in total. But highly recommend.

Amazing Day Trip from Adelaide city to KI - This was a great tour experience we had with Sealink. The day tour itinerary was well planned, and the thorough introduction from local tour guide and driver Scott definitely added more highlights. The two-course lunch venue was modern and clean, and the food was delicious. The Koala Wildlife Park is definitely worth visiting. Everyone had the opportunity to encounter the kangaroos, and you could even do a koala holding experience.
Overall, it was a great experience that shouldn't be missed. The island is recovering well from the bushfire, and we already look forward to bringing our international clients for the next visit.

Costly compared to the service provided - Kangaroo Island itself is a beautiful place to visit, but my experience with the ferry was horrible for the following reasons:
1. The ferry width is short causing nausea and vomiting for almost all passengers.
2. The checkin process should be changed as you have to physically be in the counter to collect tickets, this should be done electronically.
3. Only the driver is allowed to drive and board the ferry with the car and rest of the passenger will have to walk in. Its difficult for families with kids and babies specially with rainy weather.
4. The staff who were helping boarding the car were very rude and were shouting at the drivers.
5. The price they are charging for such service is way too high.

Okay but wouldn't rebook - I wouldn't say it was terrible, but for the price and the promises made, I was definitely disappointed.
I have a milk allergy, so I asked multiple times—well in advance—if there would be safe food options for me or if I should bring my own. I don’t mind bringing my own food, but the booking agent insisted that they regularly accommodate food allergies and that plenty of dairy-free options would be available.
However, on the day of the trip, several snack stops were made where others received treats like brownies and ice cream, but nothing was provided for me. (Even just an apple would have made me happy)
Lunch was somewhat better, but I still had to repeatedly ask about ingredients, as some items contained milk and no one seemed to have checked. In the end, I managed, but it was stressful. An allergic reaction, especially on an isolated island, isn't just a short-term inconvenience—it affects my health for weeks.
The trip itself was okay, but the driver had a very negative attitude. He spent a lot of time talking about all the bad things that had happened on the island and how everything had gone downhill, which wasn’t exactly the uplifting experience I was hoping for.
There were also some logistical mix-ups, including people being placed on the wrong buses.
As for the itinerary, I was disappointed that we spent most of the time indoors at stops that felt more like shopping opportunities than actual sightseeing. It wasn’t until the end of the day that we finally got to properly enjoy the island’s views.
Overall, it was fine, but for the price, I expected a much better experience.

I feel like this tour was... - I feel like this tour was —overpriced for what was offered—it is a very long day from Adelaide to basically see a bird show (which was good) and a couple of other un memorable sites—we left Adelaide at 6 am and did not return until midnight—if you only have one day to see kangaroo island I would definitely recommend one that goes to the more popular sights.
