Fantastic 5.0

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 👍

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.

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...
