1.Kangaroo Island Full Day Experience by Ferry Including Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,202 reviews · 16 hours · from $267Our pick

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.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 71 reviews · 16 hours · from $275

Review of Kangaroo Island’s 16-hour Sip and See tour from Adelaide, with ferry travel, wildlife, lunch, honey, eucalyptus products, and wine.

“The day was a big adventure for us. The Bird show, Eucalyptus Farm presentation, Honey Bee and Wine tasting was great. Each place with their own story was very worthwhile learning about and tasting, respectively. It was a bit of a surprise to learn that the farms had flushing toilets - in 2025, we did expect that. It was an unsophisticated and an enjoyable day.”

Review of the 2-day Kangaroo Island tour from Adelaide, with wildlife, beaches, Seal Bay, camping, meals, ferry travel, and practical tips.

“I really had such a great time at this trip. Originally I booked another trip from another organisation which was cancelled very late. I was very happy finding this two day trip instead. It was a much better one!! Aaron was the best guide. He took care of everybody, is a very good and safe driver, he gave the group lots of information and had great humour. We saw the best places of Kangaroo Island in just two days. But everywhere enough time to enjoy. I lived the best time of my life at this two day trip after some severe health problems laat year. Some moments made me really…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 41 reviews · 5h 30m · from $87Best value

Review of Cleland Wildlife Park and Mount Lofty Summit, with koalas, kangaroos, Adelaide views, transport, pricing, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“Only four on our 10:30 tour so very personal. Guide was somewhat soft spoken but very pleasant and informative. Offered to walk with us through Cleland (until his lunchtime) or leave us to explore alone. Took us to koala photo op line first, just in time before afternoon close. Saw big, active joey in, out and partially (just feet!) out of mama’s pouch. Definite highlight! We also loved watching pen full of hungry echidnas enthusiastically working over log slices searching for food. So so cute!! Nice view of entire city from Mt Lofty— could see green space around perimeter, Oval. Guide suggested walking across river to Oval after drop off…”

10.One Day Kangaroo Island Sip & See tour with return ferry transfers from Adelaide

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 39 reviews · from $279

See Kangaroo Island in one long day with ferry transfers, wildlife, honey, eucalyptus products, scenic stops, lunch, and wine tasting.

“Awesome experience. Means of transport was excellent. The views along the way is the ultimate reason why we want to be away from the big cities well at least even for just a day. A one whole day trip might be tiring for some, you can stay for overnight in the island or maybe longer if you wish. It just seem to be the perfect place to enjoy nature, so away from the hazzle of everyday city life. Highly recommended, all ages… small kids… I’m not sure. Could be too tiring if not boring for younger generations, but it depends. While still active and strong…go for it! As for kangaroos…they…”
