Kangaroo Island Shore Excursion Scenic Trail Tour

The driver/guide was enthusiastic about history and wildlife on the island. Since KI is so large, choices had to be made on what to visit within our time limit and he allowed us to guests/passengers to make some of them. There was a lot of driving time getting from one place to another. We were able to see some kangaroos and koalas which were the highlights of the tour.

Kangaroo Island scenic trail tour did not disappoint. Stunning views at every stop and a tasty lunch to top it off. Easy pick up near the cruise terminal with a short walk.

Great trip. Good driver and guide Paul. Enjoyed all the sights. Picnic lunch fresh and home made. Learnt a lot about Kangaroo Island

While you see a pic of a koala in the ad, there was no wildlife to be seen- no koalas, no kangaroos in a place called kangaroo island! At the end of the day when we spoke to many people who were on other tours, all had drivers who stopped and/or took them past areas where they saw wildlife. We did not have that experience and I must say how extremely disappointing that was, in spite of the beautiful coastline and rocks we did see. I would not recommend this tour unless you are okay with not seeing wildlife, and also being in a bus with 40+ people. Not what I bargained for!

The best tour I’ve ever gone on, I think the guide was Peter and he explained so much abt the island that if you came alone the experience would not be the same. He explained the history down to the beginning, the animals and the invasive animals, and there was so much more that I learnes that I otherwise would not have, like about the lighthouse at the far end of the island and how they built it out of pressure because of the shipwrecks, or the whiskey ships that crashed on the shore. There is just so much information that you would not learn without going on this tour. it was very thorough and way more worth it than the excursions on the cruise ship which were just like to one place and the excursions on the cruises were very expensive, and my parents who went on it said that the cruise tour was very rushed because the driver was rushing to pick up other tours. For this tour though they just picked up a small group and we had a very thorough experience on the island We saw kangaroos and echidnas and a lot of the more far areas that the cruise ship excursions didn’t go to. It was very worth it and I highly recommend booking this before it’s booked out The lunch was also nice and we got to see a lot of seals at admiral’s arch, and of course flinders chase

If you want to see Australian wildlife out in the wild, this is a fantastic tour. Of course, there were no guarantees since they are wild, roaming free, but our guide Pete did a fantastic job trying to find the animals. He did not disappoint and we got to see everything! Kangaroos, koalas and sea lions. He was very informative and provided a lot of information and history about Kangaroo Island as he drove us around. We really enjoyed the tour and there were only 12 of us in a small bus, which was super nice. As we were all off a cruise ship, he was very aware of the time and made sure he got us back in time to make the ship. I would recommemd this tour to anyone who wants to see wildlife and only has a day to visit this beautiful place.

Excellent. Tour was adapted to what the group wanted, and to ensure we got back to the ship tender in time.. We saw kangaroos, and koalas, good commentary when we were in the road.. Saw all the sea Lions right down the steps at seal beach. Guide was Pete and he was great!

We were in a full-sized coach. There was no tour guide, just the driver who gave the occasional unintelligible comments through a horrible pa system.

When we booked this tour, we booked because it said there was a maximum of 20 people. As we were a party of 10 we didn’t think that was bad. I absolutely do not like large bus tours which is why we didn’t book a ship tour. When we got to the meeting point they put us in a large tour bus packed with 52 people. Then we were driving a long way and I think the bus driver was saying something but with a combination of bad speakers and a low voice those of us in the middle of the bus and in the back didn’t hear anything all day. The few places we stopped were nice, but not a lot of time to explore. After our last stop the bus driver handed out a drink and a container which was our lunch and we could grab a piece of cake. We were supposed to eat it on the bus. The cake was good but nobody in our party liked the chicken couscous thing so ended up throwing it away. The kids were given a sandwich which was apparently good. I wish that was offered instead. The worse part was trying to eat something on a crowded, bouncy bus. I would definitely not recommend this tour.

There are only a handful of natural attractions on the island and seeing them involved lengthy transport in an aging mini van that was not up to the task of the badly rutted dirt roads that shook my fillings out. The tour director was lovely and made the tour informative with special stops to see koalas and a baby Kangaroo. The Business needs to address the vans and either lease newer vans or improve the suspension.
