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

Purchased 2 activity tour for puffing billy train, heasville and Yarra choloaterie as well as Phillip island, moonlit sanctuary, nobbies and Brighton beach boxes day tours. The tours were guided by 2 different company. Both guides were knowledgeable and multi tasked as a driver and photographer too. Redemption was fuss free. Sufficient time was provided at each stop to allow us to take photos or have meals. There were some cost savings compared to booking them individually. Recommend to purchase the pass depending whether the activities listed are places you planned to go.

Wonderful Dolphin Experience with Temptation Sailing I joined the dolphin watch tour with Temptation Sailing today and it was absolutely fantastic. The crew were genuinely friendly, welcoming, and very knowledgeable about the local dolphin pods — I learned so much from them throughout the trip. The experience really came alive when the sun came out. Suddenly, the dolphins appeared all around us, swimming so close to the boat. It was such a lovely and surprising moment, and honestly the highlight of my day. The whole journey was calm, relaxing, and beautifully organised — a perfect way to spend 4 hours on the water. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Adelaide or Glenelg. Truly memorable.

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!

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….)

The tour guide was very humorous and enthusiastic, and also very knowledgeable about Kangaroo Island. They were passionate about introducing the local history, flora, and fauna. They recommended that if you have time, you should stay on Kangaroo Island for at least two days, as one day is really not enough.
