A 10/10 experience
I had an amazing time on the 2-day KI trip with Groovy Grape. Our guide, James, was absolutely incredible - knowledgeable, friendly, and always bringing positive energy in abundance. The itinerary was comprehensive without feeling rushed, and the food was excellent (even for me as a vegetarian - it doesn’t happen often with tours!). I’d recommend this tour without hesitation. Thanks again!

Best two days !
This trip was incredible ! The two days were two of the best days I’ve had in Australia. You get to see loads of amazing wildlife on the island and so many beautiful views & beaches. It was a lot of fun spotting and watching the animals in their natural habitats too! The glamping tent was comfortable and the site had good facilities. James was great too - so friendly, knowledgable & attentive! It is definitely a must do !

Great tour with lots of insights!
I’m so glad I chose Groovy Grape for my two days adventure at Kangaroo Island! Already in the planning beforehand they were so helpful with suggesting me which dates to pick according to weather and group constellation. Our driver and guide James was the best - he always found the right balance in telling us lots of insights about the island and leave us time to listen to his playlist or even make up our own! And one of the best things: you didn’t feel like being in a rush at all. Usually this happens quite a lot when doing guided tours, it’s like “you have 15 minutes here and then another 10 minutes there”. Not with James! He always gave us enough time to enjoy all the different highlights of the island and then intuitively found the right timing for the group to move on. Also he is a great photographer 😉 The first day finishes up with a yummy BBQ dinner at the camp yard. At the campsite you can also spot lots of wildlife like kangaroos and possum and sometimes koalas. The clamping tents were amazing, I had a great sleep feeling so close to nature. Also the included breakfast and lunch were really great. In general the tour is very well planned as we were always in front of the big tourist bus so we could even enjoy the marvelous rocks almost by ourselves. If you are looking for a tour to explore Kangaroo Island - take this one!

Great very well organised trip with a small group.
It was a marvelous 2-day tour. We have seen beautiful nature, beautiful coast and lots of local animals like Kangaroos, koala’s, wallibies, sea lions and even dophins swimming. Our guide/driver JR was great. So friendly, with a lot of experience. He told üs a lot. Also the 2 young girls of the company were very nice and helpful. The total group was only 7 persons, which is also very nice. We absolutely recommend this trip with this company. Ed and Ellen, the Netherlands

Amazing tour
The 2 day and 1 night KI tour was more than I could ever expect. The tour guide JR was amazing, we visited many lovely locations and saw kangaroos, koalas and even dolphins. The glamping was nicely organized and I slept really well. The bbq dinner was delicious and later in the evening there was the most spectacular sky with full of stars. The breakfast was organized with the visitor center nearby which was really good and it was nice to have a good coffee to start the morning. I would highly recommend this tour for everyone. It was one of the best tours where I ever been. Thank you for making this memorable experience possible.
