How you can still see Kangaroo Island today!

Due to the recent bushfires of Australia, and the worldwide Covid-19 pandemic, Kangaroo Island has suffered majorly in tourism.

As many of the island’s top attractions and activities closed for the majority of 2020. Due to this, many are craving a visit to this glorious region, to take part in Kangaroo Island’s greatest activities on offer. Government restrictions have eased in the area, allowing our 2 Day Kangaroo Island Tour available for visitors!
