An amazing day out seeing the sights and wildlife of Kangeroo island. Our tour guide was Frank who could not have been more helpful. One of the best tours I have ever done.
Viator did not tell us we had to make ferry reservations in advance to get to Kangaroo Island. The ferry was full and we could not go on the tour!! We tried to make reservations weeks earlier but were told by Skylink ferry we could not make them from the US!!! They said our tour operator had to make them locally!!! It was Viator’s responsibility to arrange that. They did not do it!!!
Great tour! Family run business, they really cared that you were satisfied. Relaxed pace, no rushing at the sites. Small group- we were only five people. No big buses. He took time to ask us what we wanted to see most and took us on an extra place at the end so we could see more kangaroos. Had lunch a local roadside restaurant. We really got to see the character of kangaroo Island and learn a lot about the animals and the history and the people who live there. It was a really great tour.
We love that you got to see the character of the island. How lovely to hear. It was so nice having you with us and thank you so so much for taking the time to share the positive experience.
We had a fabulous tour around Kangaroo Island with Philip. He was so knowledgeable about the Island and took us to see beautiful coastal areas and Kangaroo Island wildlife. Philip packed as much into this one day tour as possible with stops to visit seal lions, and fur seals in their natural environments. We explored Remarkable Rocks...which were remarkable. We saw koalas, wallabies, and kangaroos. There is so much to see and experience on this Island and we wished we had booked more time but Philip made sure we experienced and saw as much as possible.
Thank you so much! It's always such a pleasure to introduce guests to the island. Our guides do the very best they can to ensure a great experience and we are so happy that that is exactly what you had. We hope to see you again!
We did the day tour with Caitlyn and she was an outstanding, fun, personable tour guide! She really made the island come alive with local history and lore. We saw so much wildlife in one day and each site was a treasure. Such a breath of fresh air for the soul, I will be returning for another tour with KIT in 2027!
Thank you so much. That's lovely to hear and so glad that we could help give you a fresh experience. We would so love to have you back again in 2027!
We had an incredible day on this magnificent island - we saw LOTS of seals, kangaroos, wallabies and koalas, all at close quarters, and we also had time for a swim at the magnificent Stokes Bay. Franck, our guide, was fantastic, one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had! He is a resident, knows the Island backwards, especially all the best places to see wildlife. A delightful person also. A truly memorable trip!
Amazing! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. It's always such a pleasure to introduce others to the island and what it has to offer. Yes, we agree, our guides are fantastic and are absolutely the foundation of our tours.
We had an amazing private tour with Frank. We were staying in Penneshaw on the eastern end of the island so Frank offered us options for what we could see without spending too much time driving. We were most interested in seeing wildlife and it was as if Frank had placed the animals strategically for our viewing. We loved learning about the seals and how they care for their young and go from land to water. We saw so many koalas, kangaroos and wallabys. Frank knew of spots to pull over and walk among the trees to see the wildlife. We also enjoyed walking between the rocks to see the beautiful Stokes Bay. The whiting fish burger we had for lunch was delicious and we liked seeing where the fish are caught and processed. It was a highlight of our time in Australia.
Thank you so much for this lovely review. We are so happy to hear that you had a great day with Frank. Such a pleasure to host you for the day and introduce you to island. Thanks again for taking the time to review your experience with us.
Was a wonderfull day. Saw a lot of places. The guide now some place to find kangooroos. We also see a couple of koalas
Thank you!
Frank, our guide, stretched far to make this a fantastic experience. Got to see many different animals and exciting nature. Although you can’t guarantee to experience wild animals, Frank knew places where we were able to see, among others, kangaroos, wallabies, seals and koala bears. We also got lots of good and entertaining information throughout the trip. Lunch we ate at a cosy, small restaurant. The fishing burger was lovely. All in all a very great trip both for us adults and our daughter of 17 years.
Thank you so much! It was a pleasure having you with us for the day.
Excellent one day tour focussed on wildlife with some scenic stops too. Prompt pick up from our accommodation in a large van for transport. Tour group totalled 8. Circular tour we left at 9:30 and returned at 6pm. The day included a mid morning tea/coffee and cake stop and a fabulous BBQ lunch with beer/wine. Our guide, Vanessa, was very knowledgeable, experienced, friendly and accommodating. During the day we saw everything we’d hoped to in the wild: kangaroos; wallabies; koala bears; seals; and much more including a vast array of birds. For us this was the perfect trip.
So happy to read that the experience delivered. There is so much to see on the island and we love that we are able to introduce others to all the wonderful things here. We would love to have you back again one day!
