Review of SeaLink’s 16-hour Kangaroo Island day trip from Adelaide, with ferry travel, sea lions, Remarkable Rocks, lunch, and practical booking advice.
“Ricky was a font of knowledge on route to the ferry. It was a good crossing via the Sealion ferry to Kangaroo Island. Then Joanne relayed her wide & varied local history, keeping full bus together to ensure we got the most out of experiences. The Sealion tour was interesting and close enough encounters. Especially good was the Raptor Centre with kangaroo feeding, koala petting and the opportunity to hold bag of orphan joeys being card for. It was a very long day 16hrs but well worth it. Many had a snooze on return coach.”
Review of the Barossa wine tour from Adelaide, with four tastings, winery lunch, Tanunda, Maggie Beer, chocolate, pickup, and practical tips.
“Overall the experience was great and Ashley our guide was a great person and managed the entire tour well. Our only issue was the return back to the CBD.. can’t understand why we have to detour way off the CBD to drop others. I would have thought that the pickup and drop off should be limited and closer to the city. We wasted over an hour in traffic because of the poor drop off planning.”

Paddle Adelaide’s mangrove creeks, spot wild dolphins and shipwrecks, and learn about a fragile marine ecosystem on this gentle three-hour kayak tour.
“Fantastic experience - though we didn’t see dolphins we loved kayaking through the mangroves and seeing this unique ecosystem. I’m also happy the company don’t use bait or sounds to tempt the dolphins, as they should be free in their own habitats. Brayden was a great guide, friendly and informative.”
Review of Adelaide’s Barossa Valley small-group wine tour, with four cellar doors, lunch, hotel pickup, tasting fees, and practical booking tips.
