Exceptional customer service

5.00We had an amazing full-day tour from Adelaide to Kangaroo Island with tour guide Joanne. Seeing the adorable seals basking in the sun on the beach, relaxing on the rocky platforms, and playing in the water was a real highlight. We also enjoyed visiting the other beautiful attractions and taking lots of great photos, finishing the day by feeding the kangaroos. A very special thank you to Jayne, Peter, and our coach drivers for going above and beyond after we accidentally left our phone behind. We were so grateful for your kindness, honesty, and exceptional customer service. You truly went the extra mile to help us, and we can't thank you enough. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kangaroo Island. It was a memorable experience made even more special by such caring and dedicated staff. Thank you again!

5.00This was one of the highlights of our 3 week vacation in Australia. The scenery and the wildlife experiences exceeded my expectations. Our guide, Dani, provided so much interesting information and took great care of us. It was a very long day, but it was totally worth it.
Brilliant tour, highly recommended.

5.00This is an awesome tour, where you'll see some incredible wildlife, both in their natural habitat and in a wildlife park. Dani, our guide, was brilliant, making sure we were everywhere in good time, had enough time at the various stops and provided a ton of local history and information on our way around the island. The provided lunch was very tasty too. The one thing I would say is prepare for a very long day - we left Adelaide at 6.45am and I was dropped back at my hotel at 10.15pm. The drive to Cape Jervis takes about 90-110 minutes and then the ferry crossing (which has toilets and a snack bar) takes about 45 minutes.
16 Hours Kangaroo Island From Adelaide

5.00This tour involved a bus trip to the Cape Jervis Ferry Wharf (two hours south of Adelaide), apologies that we didn't catch the name of our first driver (on early shift 6th June), we really appreciated your wealth of knowledge of the Adelaide & surrounding areas, also for all your help explaining the next part of the journey, the ferry. After the ferry, that's where we met Brad our tour guide, who drove us over the length of the 155 k's of the Island, we were surprised with how big the Island is & all the services available. Brad, being a resident, certainly knew his stuff, which was extremely impressive, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. Kangaroo Island is such a beautiful place, you'll love all the landscape highlights & the wildlife. The National Parks staff were also amazing, sharing their knowledge with us along the way as well. The Wildlife Park at Seal Bay was also a beautiful experience, meeting up along the way with some rescue kangaroos & koalas, thank you to all the staff there. Thank you to everyone at 'The Stranger' for lunch, a very much appreciated baked chicken/veggies. We had the best day, thank you to all the ferry crew & Wayne who did the bus service & commentary the way back to Adelaide (apparently not your usual run, the company are lucky to have you), you all made for an exceptional day!!
Long day. Lots of...

5.00Long day. Lots of travelling time, but well worth the effort. Spectacular views. Coach drivers were very informative about the history of the island. Be prepared for a rough ferry crossing if the weather isn’t ideal.
Well organized and efficient.

5.00The tour guide was very good and was kept us well informed about the Island but the ferry can run late.
If Kangaroo Island is on your bucket list (as it should be): this tour is so worth it’s money and your time!

5.00I had a great time from the moment I got on the 6:30 bus up until I got dropped off at 22:30. Such knowledgeable and enthousiastic local tour guides and bus drivers (shout out to Dani, who does weekend tours!). Even with the showers we had throughout the day, the locations we were taken to were beautiful and totally worth it. Lunch was very tasty and well-prepared. Because you do go to a couple of locations scattered on the surprisingly big island, there is a strict schedule and you’ll spend quite some time on the bus. However, I didn’t feel rushed whatsoever and all the stories you get on the bus make time fly by. 11/10 would recommend!

3.00Time spent at each attractions too short compared to time spent to get to each location of a few hours
Pick up spot in Adelaide needs to be clear (where in the bus station)

4.00Pick up area instructions need to be more clear and should have a tour organizer 's contact number. The street number differing on the bus station and also need to mention the waiting area, whether inside the station and where in the station .
