A solid overview of kangaroo island - I would highly recommend this tour to travelers who are short on time but still want a solid overview of the most iconic parts of Kangaroo Island.
Be aware: it’s a very long day if you're coming from Adelaide, so plan accordingly. That said, we thoroughly enjoyed every part of the trip. Even the visit to see kangaroos and koalas—something we weren’t particularly excited about as Australian residents—turned out to be surprisingly fun and different!
The two-course lunch was also a pleasant highlight, and the entire day was smoothly run and informative.
Big thanks to our local tour guides—they were knowledgeable, friendly, and really made the experience memorable.

Stunning location… well worth it! - The views were amazing. I like the option of going to the local supermarket, which allowed me to purchase honey from the island. I would love to come back again.

Worth a trip - This tour is a full day packed with things to see and do! We only had 1 day to be able to see the island so this tour was absolutely perfect. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel in Adelaide so from beginning to end all transport and admissions are covered in the price. Definitely worth the trip, especially for the Sealions and the views!!

KI day tour from Adelaide - We booked this day tour with a little bit of trepidation, considering its 16hr commitment from Adelaide. Turned out to be 17hr, but oh well.
You are transported to the ferry terminal from Adelaide on a bus, with commentary on the way. The ferry passage takes around 45 minutes. You then pick up your tour.
Once on the island, our guide Danni (Danielle) was 100% expert, and extremely professional and friendly all at the same time. Our tour ran like clockwork despite the busy schedule.
This is a beautiful part of the world, and we felt so privileged to be part of it for a day.
We would have no hesitation recommending this tour, and if you just happen to get Danni as your guide on the island...even better! ❤️

Long day but worth it. - Long day but definitely worth it! Highlights were the Sea Lion tour & the wildlife experience. Could have skipped remarkable rocks, but Admiralty Arch was incredible.

Disappointed - For the price, there was not much value. This trip was very rushed, the lunch was poor and the ferry dirty.
The bus ride both on the mainland and on the island were very informative, however each stop was limited and I didn't get to see anything of the local handicrafts, nor eat any of the local food. The ferry operators never smiled.
