River Cruises in Kangaroo Island

Kangaroo Island 2-Day Wildlife Adventure Small Group tour

An unforgettable experience

This is more than just a trip to a beautiful place. These two days will provide you with a truly unforgettable experience of the Kangaroo Island. The itinerary description is accurate but does not convey all the special treats that travelling with Groovy Grape Adventures offers. The guides (in our case, Jordan) are truly knowledgeable of the place, knowing all its hidden gems and its secrets, and having a very special relationship with its people. All this means that you are learning so much more than just what you’d normally experience with a guide; and you are greated by others with a big smile. There are no surprises for Jordan on the island - if a building, an animal, a plant pops up unexpectedly, he immediately has multiple facts to tell you about them, all woven with personal stories and experiences. The visits to all sights are planned in such a way that you always avoid the crowds. This makes you feel that you have this beautiful island only to yourself. The food is lovely and plenty of it. You are being very well looked after. This makes for a really unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!

Kangaroo Island in a Day Tour from Adelaide

An almost perfect excursion!

This was such a fun day! Most reviews talk about how much sitting on a bus there is and how it’s a long day but honestly, it only felt like a long day right at the end. There was so much to see and Hamish, our guide/bus driver, kept us entertained with lots of information on the history of the island and future plans as well as pointing out bits and pieces on the drives. I was so excited to see the seals at Seal Bay and it really didn’t disappoint! It was a dream come true. I really love how respectful the guide was towards the seals. We didn’t spend a long time there and we had to keep our distance. I think this is so important. I loved that she told us if a baby seal comes to us we need to essentially ignore them so they think we are boring so they don’t become tame at all. Keeping wild animals wild and respecting them like this was so refreshing. Remarkable Rocks felt like a whole other planet and was so interesting to explore. It really reminds you how incredible Mother Nature is and how wonderful our natural world is. Admirals Arch was stunning AND got to see more seals! Including one that just woke up from a nap and then used a rock as a waterslide to go rolling around in the waves. The only reason I didn’t give a 5 star rating was that the last stop at the “Wildlife Park” was really just a zoo. And it was heartbreaking. It was dreary, birds alone in cages with minimal foliage, exotic animals that are so far from native, it was a really depressing end to a great day. I feel like a place like Kangaroo Island doesn’t need a zoo when the island itself is so gorgeous and it’s always so much more amazing seeing animals in the wild and not caged. I would have been happier had the day ended after Admirals Arch. Aside from that our lunch stop after Seal Bay was really lovely. The ladies serving us did an amazing job and catered to a variety of dietary needs. My boyfriend and I opted to sit outside and it was gorgeous. I loved Kangaroo Island so much that I plan on coming back and staying on the island to drive around some more! Our ferry back to Adelaide was delayed and that’s something to keep in mind. The weather impacts this tour so be open minded and understanding. The staff don’t have control over this and do what they can. We were given a hot drink voucher to use while we waited for our ferry. They didn’t need to do that, but it’s very appreciated that they did. I would recommend this tour and this company to my friends and family but I would suggest they don’t participate in the last stop, the ‘wildlife park/zoo’. One thing I would suggest is bringing snacks or a small meal for the end of the day. Lunch will be tasty and filling but by the time you’re heading back it’ll be about 7:30pm and you won’t be back in Adelaide until 10:30 (weather dependent of course). They do offer for you to call ahead to the pub and you can collect a meal from there before getting on the ferry or head into their local IGA to tide you over.
