Vivonne Bay was named by the members of Baudin expedition to Australia who visited the bay in January 1803. In a survey of 10,000 beaches by Professor Andrew Short, director of Sydney University's marine studies centre, the beach at Vivonne Bay was adjudged as one of the best in Australia.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Remarkable Rocks, Flinders Chase SA 5223, Australia
Perched above the sea in Flinders Chase National Park, the impressive Remarkable Rocks form what appear to be a cluster of precariously balanced granite boulders.
This stunning work of nature has been shaped by the erosive forces of wind, sea spray and rain over some 500 million years.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Admirals Arch, Cape du Couedic Road Flinders Chase National Park, Kangaroo Island, South Australia SA 5222 Australia
Admirals Arch is a natural rock arch created by amazing forces of nature.
The arch is sculpted by weathering and erosion from the sea over thousands of years.
Fur-seals often play among the rocks. These dark brown seals feed at sea but return to land to rest and breed.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Weirs Cove, Australia
upplies for the nearby Cape Du Couedic Lighthouse were brought in through Weirs Cove. The supplies had to be hauled up the cliff from the jetty below through this man made cutting in the sheer cliff face. Once at the top of the cliff the supplies were stored in this store room. The front room was segregated into three separate compartments - one for each of the three families manning the lighthouse.

Had a great time on the tour, Luca was very knowledgeable and made the trip very enjoyable. Was nice in a small group, which allowed us all to be able to interact and ask questions which is more difficult in a large tour group. Would definitely recommend this tour.

My son and I booked the Best of KI tour as neither had ever been to KI before and our guide, Lutz, was everything you could ask for! He filled us in with loads of interesting and relevant information about the island, including its history pre and post European settlement as well as the geological and natural aspects of everything we saw. He provided a relaxed tour and we never felt rushed to move on. Morning tea/coffee was accompanied by home made Anzac biscuits (yummm) and lunch was also delicious and delightfully enjoyed in the fresh air. We also learned how the bushfires impacted the island and by the end of the day, felt that we had a good insight into the magic of this special community. Thank you, Lutz, for sharing with us your generous tour guide talents!

Nikki from Odessey Tours met us at the ferry , helped us with our luggage, made sure we were seated comfortably as my partner on crutches, first day travelled with two other ladies, saw lots of wild life, told us about the fires and the history and industry of the island, lunches were huge and tasty
Second and third day we travelled to other areas where my partner could not walk to see rocks etc up front Nikkii made the to park so he could see the interest point from a distance,
Honey factory fascinating, disappointed Mulberry gin was not available but at least got a taste,
On out departure Nikkii got our boarding passes for ferry and saw us into the lounge
I can highly recommend the tour with Odyssey’s at Kangaroo Island

After the recent brushfires, we were a little aprehensive about our trip. However, our tour guide, Robert, provided a very comprehensive tour of Kangaroo Island. He ensured we saw koalas, wallabies, echidna, goanna, seals, and over 150 kangaroo in their native habitat. As the retired head of the KI parks system, he knew exactly where to look and provided expert commentary on firefighting techniqes, regrowth of burnt areas, animal behavior, and Ki history. This was the highlight of our monthlong NZ and AU trip.

We arrived at Kangaroo island by plane from Adelaide and were picked up by our guide Luca Lovinson at the airport. We were the only passengers and he showed us the highlights of Kangaroo island. We were able to see Koalas, Kangaroos etc and enjoyed the beautiful nature and landscape of Kangaroo island. Luca is very knowledgable and very friendly. We will certainly come back and spend more time exploring this magnificent island. We can highly recommend Luca and the tour.

To visit the island of Kangaroo I've booked an individual tour with Kangaroo Island Hire a Guide and we found ourselves (2 persons) very well. Luca has been a competent and professional guide. He has lived in kangaroo for a long time and knows very well how to approach animals respecting them in their habitat
Absolutely to recommend

Luca provided an all-day tour for our group of six, and it was outstanding. We were impressed by not only his knowledge of Kangaroo Island's animals, flora and fauna, but also his knowledge of the local geology which is rather complex. We had a wonderful bar-b-q at the national park and a coffee break alongside a remote country road that coincidently had two koalas in the trees right above us!

We consider ourselves very lucky to have gotten Luca with Kangaroo Island Hire a Guide for the day we spent on Kangaroo Island. We searched for a small group tour, we were delighted to be the only 2 on the tour. We saw sea lions, NZ fur seals, koalas, kangaroos plus various birds. Everywhere we went that day we were almost always the only ones there at that moment, it felt like we had backstage passes every where we went. Luca would also stop at times to point out what was crossing the road or explain a plant I asked about. It just doesn't get much better.
We highly recommend this tour.

My partner and I had Luke as our tour guide for the Best of KI Tour. We were amazed and humbled by being able to see these beautiful wild animals in their natural environment. It felt a little like a safari! We saw native KI kangaroos, seals and sea lions, wallabies, echidnas, wedged tailed eagles, yellow tailed iguana & black tiger snake. The highlight was seeing both seals and the sea lions 😍 the scenery was lovely and Luke was most knowledgeable on all things KI. Highly recommend this tour! Worth every cent.

We spent a fabulous day with Luca who shared the wonders of Kangaroo island with us. We saw loads of Kangaroos, Koalas, seals and sea lions in their natural habitats while Luca provided detailed information about these animals, their habitats, and the island in general. The tour was very personalized and customized to meet our interests. You will enjoy tea/ coffee and biscuits with Kangaroos as well as driving on 4WD roads for special viewing of Kangaroos you won't find on the bus tours! We highly recommend Luca and Kangaroo Island Hire a Guide for a special, customized experience that goes far beyond a mega bus tour in terms of information, interest and enjoyment!
