Why choose a guided tour on Kangaroo Island?
Kangaroo Island is one of Australia's largest islands, with many of its top attractions spread across different regions. Joining a guided tour lets you spend more time exploring and less time navigating unfamiliar roads. Whether you're interested in wildlife, food and wine, or breathtaking coastal scenery, there's a tour to suit every type of traveller.
When you tour with us, you're exploring Kangaroo Island with locals who know it best. Colin grew up on the island and shares the places, stories and local knowledge that only come from years of living here. Instead of travelling on a large coach, you'll enjoy a more personal experience in our modern, air-conditioned minibuses, with tours available for couples, families and groups of up to 82 people. Whether you choose one of our popular itineraries or a custom tour built around your interests, we'll help you experience Kangaroo Island your way.

Wildlife & Sightseeing
Kangaroo Island Wildlife & Sightseeing Tours
Kangaroo Island is one of Australia's premier wildlife destinations — and it genuinely earns that reputation.

Our sightseeing tours cover both the north and south coasts, taking in the island's most spectacular scenery, beaches and natural landmarks. After dark, the nocturnal tour brings out a completely different side of KI's wildlife.
Cruise Ship Passengers
Kangaroo Island Day Tours from Cruise Ship
We specialise in shore excursions for cruise passengers docking at Penneshaw. If you'd rather explore the island on a small, comfortable bus with a genuine local guide than join a big cruise coach with 50 strangers, we're the right choice.
