Kangaroo Island might be the Australia you have dreamed of – immersive wildlife encounters (kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, sea-lions, and impossibly coloured birds), beautiful beaches, sheep farms, Eucalyptus trees, endless open roads and friendly people. Extraordinary wildlife encounters, excellent local produce and warm hospitality make this large South Australian island a destination without competition. With significant conservation reserves and few introduced pests, biologists refer to Kangaroo Island as “the closest to what temperate Australia was like at the time of European settlement.” It is home to sea-lions, fur-seals, kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, echidnas, platypus, goannas, 260 bird species (17 Kangaroo Island sub-species – many rare or endangered), possums, bandicoots, dolphins and whales.

Family-owned Exceptional Kangaroo Island Tours offer small group and private tours, promising good food, good wine and wildlife. Although day trips are available from Adelaide, we recommend a two day/one-night stay as a minimum. The interactive two days/one night \"Kangaroo Island In Style\" includes flights from Adelaide, two full-day tours (two to twelve guests with two guides for more than six guests), and an overnight stay on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis. Touring is conversational rather than with commentary and connects you to the best that the destination offers. Small group tours in custom 4WD vehicles feature home-baked morning tea, alfresco lunch with a choice of local wines, beer, soft drinks and spring water as well as access to field guides, binoculars and maps, and all necessary National Parks fees.
