It's a very interesting experience. You can also feed the kangaroos yourself. The kangaroos are very cute. There are beautiful scenery along the way. If you come to Adelaide, you must go to Kangaroo Island

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ FANTASTIC! That's the word I'll use for the Adelaide Oval Tour. From start to finish, it was full of fascinating information. Our host, Mr. Robert, was extremely knowledgeable and explained everything about Australian cricket in great depth. This tour is worth every penny! If you're a cricket lover, this is an absolute must-do while in Adelaide. The stadium is stunning, and the behind-the-scenes experience—especially seeing the manually operated scoreboard—was incredible. ❤️ Loved every moment of the tour!

Love the hop-on hop-off idea! We managed to go 4 spots at our own choices. It was really fun! We loved the stops at St Hallett and Lambert. St Hallett offered wine at very affordable price; Lambert had the nicest white wine which we regretted only getting 1 (should have buy more….)

This tour includes round-trip transportation by bus and ferry to Kangaroo Island, where you'll switch vehicles to participate in two one-day tours. At the end of each day tour, you'll be dropped off at your hotel, and on the final day, you'll be taken to the ferry terminal. Both days offer plenty of opportunities to see animals and natural wonders, as well as shopping opportunities. 100 points!
