About this tour
Spend eight hours exploring Kangaroo Island's dual appeal: native wildlife and award-winning producers. Departing from Penneshaw, American River or Kingscote, your local guide steers you through the island's best-kept corners, stopping at working estates to taste wines, cheeses and other regional fare. You'll spot kangaroos, koalas and sea lions in their habitat, then sit down to lunch featuring local ingredients. The tour wraps by early evening, giving you time to settle back at your accommodation.

What to expect
Your guide collects you from your chosen hotel and drives you through Kangaroo Island's quieter roads, mixing wildlife viewing with scheduled stops at family-run estates. At each producer, you'll sample their specialities—expect small-batch wines, artisan cheeses, or preserves—paired with background on how they work the land. Mid-tour, you'll pause for a proper lunch built around what the island grows and makes. Between stops, your guide points out native animals and shares local stories. The pace is relaxed; this isn't a tick-box rush.
Good to know
The tour finishes at 6:15pm in Penneshaw, which may conflict with cruise ship schedules. Infants sit on adult laps. Service animals welcome. No extreme physical demands, though expect some walking around estates and wildlife spots. Budget extra cash if you want to purchase anything beyond included tastings.
