Where we depart from in Adelaide:
Our point of departure for the trip will be from outside the Chifley Hotel 208 South Terrace at 6.45am. The early 6.45am start is necessary in order for us to make a 9.00 am ferry crossing from Cape Jervis over to Penneshaw on Kangaroo Island. As such, we would ask you to be ready by 6.30am for a 6.45am departure.
This tour by it's very nature is not designed for the 5 Star Traveller. It is for the girl who has an 'adventurous spirit' and is looking for a unique and rewarding 'experience' (Once in a Lifetime)!
