Our family had the pleasure of having Craig take show us the delights of KI for two days. His knowledge of and passion for the island is infectious. He tailored the content to suit our interests and questions. Adults and children alike were engaged and had a fabulous time. With a delicious picnic lunch one day and a bush seafood BBQ the next near to a koala eating in a tree we were incredibly well looked after. From the Remarkables to the seals to bush regeneration and KI's produce, it was all fabulous and done in great comfort. An absolute highlight was when Craig took us swimming with 50-60 dolphins - an unforgettable, extraordinary experience.

We used sealink to get from kangaroo Island to Adelaide and the service was generally good. Check in was easy in KI however clerk was not that helpful as I was unsure about luggage. Next time I will know! There is a luggage van - self serve - which actually comes off the ferry when it arrives. Easy once you know. Actual crossing was pretty rough so suggest sit in seats near rear of boat and very convenient to bathrooms! Our link from ferry to bus at Cape Jervois was easy - remember you have to collect your bag and put it on to bus yourself. There is a food outlet on the ferry but we only found this out near the end of our trip and it had just closed - arghh. (They don’t tell you!). A little more organisation and this would have been a wonderful experience.
