Kangaroo Island Travel Blog
Short answers to the questions people ask before a trip to the island. What comes out after dark? Can you swim with the dolphins? Where are the koalas? Comparing Kangaroo Island guided tours? The fares sit side by side there.
Start with the night post if wildlife is why you are going: most of the island’s animals are easier to find after sunset. One post covers the snorkel swim and its rules, one sets out what works with children, one tells you where the koalas are, and the last follows the island’s honey, gin, wine and lavender. Longer planning pieces are in the guides.
