Fantastic 5.0

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.

Great 4.0

This tour is more expensive than going to Uluru, mainly because the boat tickets are very expensive. The most worthwhile place to visit is Seal Bay and Remarkable Rocks. The other main activities are strolling along the beach. I recommend booking a one-day tour, as sleeping on the ground isn't very comfortable.

Fantastic 5.0

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.
