A perfect getaway from cities. The transportation arrangement of the trip is awesome. The drivers (and the guide) are friendly and informative. The trip is definitely worthy.

Went with my partner. It was so fun!! We enjoyed it and made lots of good memories together such as when we fed the giraffes close up. The keepers were very knowledgeable about the animals that they are taking care of. Highly recommend this activity. I will go again next time at monarto zoo

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!

we had a Lovely time. The mangroves were most probably the best we've paddled through. Go for the mangroves and count dolphins as a bonus. We saw some while onshore but not while paddling. Be warned there is nothing at the site so bring plenty of fluids.
