Exceptional Kangaroo Island Touring

Kangaroo Island might be the Australia you have dreamed of – immersive wildlife encounters (kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, sea-lions, and impossibly coloured birds), beautiful beaches, sheep farms, Eucalyptus trees, endless open roads and friendly people.

Extraordinary wildlife encounters, excellent local produce and warm hospitality make this large South Australian island a destination without competition. With significant conservation reserves and few introduced pests, biologists refer to Kangaroo Island as “the closest to what temperate Australia was like at the time of European settlement.” It is home to sea-lions, fur-seals, kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, echidnas, platypus, goannas, 260 bird species (17 Kangaroo Island sub-species – many rare or endangered), possums, bandicoots, dolphins and whales.

Family-owned Exceptional Kangaroo Island Tours offer small group and private tours, promising good food, good wine and wildlife. Although day trips are available from Adelaide, we recommend a two day/one night stay as a minimum. The interactive two day/one night "Kangaroo Island In Style" includes flights from Adelaide, two full-day tours (two to twelve guests with two guides for more than six guests), and an overnight stay on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis. Touring is conversational rather than with commentary and connects you to the best that the destination offers.

Small group tours in custom 4WD vehicles feature home-baked morning tea, alfresco lunch with a choice of local wines, beer, soft drinks and spring water as well as access to field guides, binoculars and maps, and all necessary National Parks fees.

South Pacific Islands / INTRODUCTION

South Pacific Islands The Cook Islands – Meet the friendly locals and relax by the blue lagoons and whitesand beaches. Fun, relaxation, and aquatic pastimes including diving and snorkelling are all part of a Cook Islands’ tropical holiday. The Cook Islands are situated in the heart of Polynesia and are comprised of 15 islands scattered over the Pacific Ocean.

The largest of these islands is Rarotonga, site of the capital city Avarua, known for its white-coral churches. At Avarua’s Saturday market you can find treasures from beautifully printed sarongs to black pearls, and often traditional Polynesian drummers and dancers perform. The Cook Islands’ stunning blue lagoons and extensive reefs make it a popular scuba-diving destination, offering wafer-thin cays, wide spread atolls, and white-sand beaches. Enjoy a relaxing slow pace, friendly people, dancing, hiking, snorkelling, caving and lazing in the resorts. Home to an abundance of exotic flora and fauna, pristine white beaches, lush green volcanic mountains and some of the most spectacular crystal water in the world, a holiday to the Cook Islands is an experience of a lifetime.

Fiji – Smiling and welcoming Fijians complement the laid-back ambience of these islands of paradise. Relax in the warm seas which lap the golden island shores and coral cays teeming with pretty fish. When we think of Fiji we think of a tropical island paradise with stunning beaches, swaying coconut trees, and relaxed island atmosphere. Nap on a hammock with the pure white sand beneath you, palm trees swaying outside your secluded island bure. Sip cocktails by the pool down on the Coral Coast after spending the day snorkeling in the crystal-clear ocean. We think of Denarau Island and its championship golf course, teeing off onto palm-and-riverfringed greens as the afternoon drifts into evening and the sky is awash of orange and blue. We think of culture and the locals; happy, smiling and welcoming – nothing is too much trouble, with their special love for kids and natural happiness that is so inviting. Over 330 islands with sparkling lagoons in every shade of blue, untouched white powder sand and a warmth not only from the sun, but from the genuine smiles and friendliness of the locals, are just waiting to enchant you.

Comprising of 83 atolls, 35 islands and officially still part of France, these islands have distinctly Gallic flavour, perhaps best savoured through authentic and delectable French cuisine. Tahiti is the largest of the Society Islands, which also include the drop dead gorgeous islands of Moorea and Bora Bora. Each of these islands has a rugged volcanic heart and abounds in forests, ferns and waterfalls. Coral reefs, alive with marine life, protect shallow, impossibly blue lagoons – perfect places for swimming, watersports or simply admiring from an idyllic stretch of beach.

Samoa - With its lush rainforest-clothed volcanic peaks, sparkling white beaches, stunning waterfalls and warm, welcoming locals, it is truely a visitor’s paradise. Samoa is not one but ten islands, two large ones and eight islets, each offering amazingly distinct environments for visitors to explore. This Pacific paradise has avoided the negative impacts of rampant tourism that have tarnished some destinations. Samoa remains unspoilt and therefore there are endless kilometres of deserted beaches, enough to ensure you can find your own slice of heaven. Just as the countryside and beaches have remained largely untouched by time, the same is true of the Samoan way of life. The country boasts a Pacific culture stretching back 3,000 years and it is based on a traditional life centered around family and respect for elders. Communities are headed by chiefs, known as matai, and Samoans are predominantly Christians – there are more churches here than in the whole of Rome. No visit to this destination is complete without spending at least one night in one of Samoa’s open beachfront fales. Just imagine being lulled to sleep listening to the waves lapping on a spectacular beach while you are fanned by a sultry tropical breeze.
