    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.

    Rachael

    Asked on May 14th, 2025

    Does the tour ever get canceled because of heavy rain/flooding? I am traveling alone, is the price for sharing? Can I share? Or is there an additional single supplement fee?

    Single supplement
    Tour Details
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten May 2025

      While it's rare, there can be disruptions due to extreme weather like flooding. That said, our tours don't typically get cancelled — but if conditions are severe, our team on the ground will assess the situation and inform you well in advance if any changes or cancellations are necessary. The price displayed on our site is based on twin-share. As a solo traveller, you will be matched with a same-gender roommate. If you prefer your own room, you can opt for a single supplement at an additional cost.

    Asked on April 15th, 2025

      TravelerWritten April 2025

      you haven't indicated if the fare is single, i don't have a partner to travel with

    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten April 2025

      The advertised price is based on twin-share accommodation, which means you would be paired with another solo traveler of the same gender. If you prefer to have your own room, a single supplement can be arranged at an additional cost.
