An amazing experience. Brenton was very knowledgeable about the area and the canoeing. Would recommend to anyone wanting to experience the mouth of the Murray up close and personal. The food and conversations was a high light. Well worth the time and seeing dolphins and seals was an added bonus. So to were Nanna’s biscuits :-)

Really enjoyed this tour (part funded by the govt voucher!). Rupert’s commentary was very well informed and entertaining in it’s delivery and Maddie did a great job in looking after us all with food and drinks. Appreciated the healthy and delicious lunch! Didn’t expect to see seals on the trip which was a nice surprise and just amazing to see the Coorong coastline and the Murray mouth up close and great to get out and stretch the legs half way and learn a bit about bush tucker.

Fantastic day out in a small group. Our guides Lachie and Jack were amazing; engaging, knowledgeable, funny!! We have done a similar cruise but this one was the best day out. Food was amazing, included cockles, native bush food. Very healthy lunch focussing on our local native produce. We would highly recommend this trip and thank you to Lachie and Jack for a very entertaining day out ???????? ????????????????

We had an absolutely brilliant tour of Kangaroo Island. As we only had a few days in Adelaide we chose the one day tour to really just get a taste of the island and get an idea of what's there, with a view to maybe coming back in the future for a longer trip. From the minute we were picked up in Adelaide CBD we were well looked after by the Sealink staff. However, our driver and tour guide for the day - Dani - was just incredible. She was remarkably knowledgeable about the island, was friendly and professional, and took amazing care of us all as we went around the various activities. They really pack in the sight seeing on the day trip and I think it's great value for money, there is plenty to see and the tour on the bus makes it really interesting and engaging. I would highly recommend! And we'll definitely be back to Kangaroo Island for a longer stay!
