    This short break tour will be one of the highlights of our Australian adventure. Accommodations a transport were excellent. Our guide, Dave, was extremely knowledgeable and personable. His passion for Kangaroo Island was obvious with each stop. This tour has our highest recommendation.

    Our guide and itinerary were very good, but accommodations were uneven with the Bealey Quarter Hotel, where the tour began and ended, having substandard accommodations and services.
