GENERAL INFO
The tracks range from easy sandy tracks to hard rocky terrain along the coastal clifftops. Most of the walks are moderate to challenging. The experienced hikers won’t be disappointed as there is ample opportunity to walk challenging distances and explore some fascinating geological sites. The Kangaroo Island Wilderness Trail, as you’d expect, makes for excellent walking.
This trip operates with a pair of experienced guides who lead the way. They allow you to walk at a pace that suits you and can offer within reason a choice of easier or harder walking options along the way dependent on group needs Most dietary requirements can be catered for, but if you want more information, please speak to the office.
Pre and post-tour accommodation: There are many hotels in Adelaide; however, we pick up and drop off at the Terrace Hotel, 208 South Terrace, Adelaide. The tour starts at 9.00 am at the Terrace Hotel. We arrive back in Adelaide at approximately 4.30 pm on the last day

WEATHER
We only depart at the best time, which for Kangaroo Island is autumn and spring. To ensure suitable clothing, check the Bureau of Meteorology’s information about temperatures and rainfall ahead of time.
Due to its island nature it can often be windy, wet, hot and dry all in one day. Squalls can be common but often blow over quickly. Pack for differing conditions with light layers so you can adapt over the course of the day as the weather may change.
INSURANCE
We require that you have adequate travel insurance against potential losses, damage, or injuries, including cancellation costs and luggage loss.
We recommend that you purchase travel insurance that includes medical evacuation coverage for all trips.
We also charge a cancellation fee if you cancel your walking holiday after we have confirmed it to cover costs incurred by our suppliers and in the office. See the FAQ section for more information.
INFORMATION PACK
For over 30 years we have taken pride in providing seamlessly organised walking holidays, but we know, even with that in mind, that you’ll have many more questions. You will receive a very detailed information pack and itinerary approximately six weeks out from departure outlining all the fine details and much more.
DIETARY REQUIREMENTS
This trip is staged in a remote area, therefore, it is not possible to accommodate complex dietary requirements, though we can accommodate common dietary needs. Please speak to the office if you have any queries.

Dan was an excellent leader, driver and cook! Georgie supported him and the group very well. Slower walkers were well catered for by offering shorter or easier alternatives to the full itinerary for that part of the group. We appreciated the shortening of the Sanderson section through driving to Remarkable Rocks after spending time on the Weir Loop and Admirals Arch.

Bill, Bob & Rhonda were fantastic- they exceeded expectationRhonda – did a fabulous job – she definitely went the extra mile. Bill & Bob- were both extremely knowledgeable guides and they openly shared their experience, knowledge and passion of KI . They were able to shuffle the schedule to fit in a couple of extra activities that some of the groups were interested in. The walking was lovely and varied. We could probably have given the Gin place a miss – but I realizes that this could be a highlight for other groups. They also definitely went the extra mile.

Kangaroo Island was a great trip. We were lucky to be able to do the walks we did due to the fires and the weather earlier in the year. The guides and their partners made it lots of fun.
