Fantastic 5.0

One of the best experiences ever! The first hour was a bit challenging as we had some difficulty finding the dolphins, but after that we spotted many. The guides were experienced and friendly. It can be a bit cold during this period, so it’s best to wear a jacket. The dolphins were friendly, and I really enjoyed the experience. FYI: the meeting point is right at the jetty.

Thank you tour guide as well as bus driver, Dave. Dave gave a great explanation along Kangaroo Island. Dave was also the one who drove me and the others to Hahndorf (I just found out his name Dave during this Kangaroo Island Tour). Although the journey from Adelaide center bus station to Cape Jervis is 2 hours and then a 45-minute ferry ride to Kangaroo Island. 👍 Thanks again Dave 👍

Manage to see sea lions, seals and dolphins! Luckily, the waves are not too choppy. Guide says no whales in this part of the sea...

Great tour. The highlight was seeing how the original scoreboard works (the only one of its kind remaining) and the stories behind the famous cricket and AFL athletes.

I had an absolute great time with TrailHopper. At first, I was not sure about how this would work but it is basically a shuttle bus that goes around winery stops in loop (check out TrailHopper website for details). Anyhow, I want to rave about TrailHopper, which is that you get to experience the Aussie wine culture with easy access but at the same time Nathan, our tour guide, will enrich your knowledge about the Australian wine, South Australia/Australia, and so many other things. Making friends with other tourists is another bonus. Lastly but not least, i also have to recommend Rusden for your must-stop-for-tasting. Their cab sav and Zinfandel blew my mind!! Definately coming back to Adeliade and joining another tour by TrailHopper. Thank you Nathan and Cherie for the amazing trip to happen!
