Kangaroo Island - Early pick up on a coach - 50 passengers. Long journey to ferry - 45 minute crossing. Good tour with stops at Seal Bay, Remarkable Rocks, Admiral’s Arch and Raptor Domain Wildlife Park. Long periods on coach but our guide, Garry was very entertaining. A good lunch was provided. No time to stop for coffee breaks but a couple of places for toilet breaks. Spotted kangaroos whilst driving. Highlight was holding a koala at the wildlife park. Would recommend.

Worth the time! - While it is a very full and long day, a visit to Kangaroo Island is well worth the time. From seeing animals in the wild and at a rescue center to visiting the amazing rock formations, we loved this outing. Our tour guide Dani (?) was great and lunch was enjoyable.

A long day, starting out... - A long day, starting out of Adelaide early in the morning and returning late evening, but well worth it. We were lucky with the weather; sailing across to Kangaroo Island was smooth, the bus tour covered considerable distance and we got lots of interesting info about the island. Remarkable Rocks are truly remarkable, Admiral's Arch an amazing place with numbers of seals, fantastic views of beaches and a great stop at the beach with sea lions. Last but not least, wildlife park where we got to feed the kangaroos, and give koalas a back rub.
In short, a satisfying experience. The Island is well worth a visit, and given time, overnight stay would have been great!

Excellent tour but expect long day - OVERALL WOULD RECOMMEND 8/10
POSITIVES
1) Excellent fast-paced (but not rushed) tour of Kangaroo Island
2) Our bus tour driver Scott was AMAZING and informative - provided lots of interesting knowledge both about the history of the island and about living on it personally
3) Wildlife - saw sea lions at Seal Bay and he stopped the bus so we could see a wild koala, kangaroos, and Cape Barren geese
4) Good lunch - vegetarian option was falafel salad followed by cheesecake
5) Visited Remarkable Rocks and Admiral’s Arch which were both super cool
6) Ferry journey was fairly smooth both ways (but the amount of sick bags provided suggested it is not always like that)
NEGATIVES
1) We left Adelaide Central Bus Station at 06:45 and returned at 22:15 so expect a long day - bring music/audiobook for the way back
3) The wildlife park we stopped at made me a bit uncomfortable - the animals were well taken care of and the keepers were friendly, but the enclosures were quite small and they offered koala holds which I think puts profit above welfare

Great way to see the highlights of Kangaroo Island - This day tour is a good way to see the highlights of Kangaroo Island for people with limited time. It was a very long day but not tiring. It was well organised with the driver-guide providing tons of information.
