Maree M, April 2026 - TripAdvisor review:

"Amazing trip to an amazing destination. This trip was exceptional from start to finish. Liz kept us informed from the moment we made our booking. Kangaroo Island is a must see destination. Each place we visited was absolutely amazing. Food was great. We had considered a self drive tour. This small group guided tour is definitely a better option."

Not a large coach tour

Most multi-day tours from Adelaide operate with 20+ guests, tight schedules, or lower quality inclusions.

Our tours are limited to just 8 guests, allow for a more relaxed pace, better access to locations and locals, and a more personal experience throughout the whole journey, plus comfortable hotel accommodation and quality local dining.

Additional notes
  • Discover Adelaide Tours offers a range of accessible and inclusive supports to help guests feel more comfortable while travelling with us. An electric-powered wheelchair is available by prior arrangement for guests who need support walking longer distances, and it fits easily into all of our vehicles when not in use. Access steps are available for every vehicle, and two of our vehicles are fitted with microphones to make commentary easier to hear. We can also provide written information sheets for any of our tours in your preferred language. Please contact us before booking so we can discuss your needs and make sure the tour is suitable for you.

  • Discover Adelaide Tours follows strict animal-welfare practices, so while you’ll enjoy close, memorable encounters with wild animals, we support keeping wild animals wild and you will likely not have the chance to touch the animals.

  • Gluten-free, nut-free and dairy-free options are available upon request. Please note we cannot guarantee meals are suitable for coeliac or severe allergy requirements, as cross-contamination may occur.
