We enjoyed the tour with Exceptional Kangaroo Island Small Group Tours and Franck Vigouroux as our dedicated guide. It was a great day and aside from the Island wild life interaction I was able to introduce myself to the delicious fish "WHITING" that is also my namesake / last name. The " al fresco " lunch prepared by Chef Franck was a big hit and being able to visit the Island Gin Distillery was an awesome way to finish off the day's activities. Highly recommend a day with Franck if the option exists.

Absolutely fantastic day! Arnie went out of his way to make this our best tour in Australia. He knew all of the spots to see the best of Kangaroo Island. We even had tea with Kangaroos and lunch in the bush. We highly recommend this company and Arnie in particular!!

Absolutely FANTASTIC 2 day tour of the island. Mark, our guide so so knowledgeable, kind, a great cook and server, and overall great person! He took us to places that we never would have found on our own. Saw so many kangaroos, koalas, wallabies, and echidnas.
He was a patient and let us explore and spend as much time as needed at different locations. The morning tea and coffee along with Anzac biscuits and lamingtons were scrumptious. Lunches were yummy and beautifully presented in a unique setting. Thank you for this Exceptionally unique and informative experience.

We used Exceptional Kangaroo Island for Island Life and Fine Flavors tours in March 2024. We had Franck V. for these tours. I cannot begin to tell you have absolutely wonderful Franck is - knowledgeable, funny, patient, kind, and if that wasn’t enough, a fantastic chef! His love of the island is palpable. We visited the Australian Sea Lions, which are critically endangered, and he talked about them as if he was one of the conservationists. He spoke of their hard lives, educated us on how plastics are the number one threat, made sure we didn’t get near them on the walkway so we didn’t accidentally get sand in their eyes. We learned how to spot Koalas in the trees, tasted local honey and spirits, learned the history of the island and his role in fighting the fires that devastated the island in 2020. And then, he cooked us a lunch that was beyond. King George whiting with lemon and white wine, a simple salad, fruits, all under a canopy where we talked with the others on the tour in a relaxed atmosphere. Franck creates that atmosphere so you can absorb all that Kangaroo Island has to offer.

My husband and I were absolutely blown away by Exceptional Kangaroo Island. Run by quick witted, highly educated and thoroughly friendly guides; we arrived hoping for pictures of koalas and kangaroos and left absolutely moved by the islands beauty and its inhabitants stout character. We learned about the delicate ecosystem, the various approaches locals have taken to find the right balance of tourism and conservation, the perilous fires of 2019-2020 and their impact on both residents and animals. The landscape is the most iconic Australian land you could imagine; gorgeous beaches, golden rolling hills, fragrant eucalyptus forests and picturesque bluffs. Our guide Tim Williams was absolutely excellent in every way- his tour was equally entertaining and informative and he was great at gauging the groups interests and making adjustments when needed. We could not have asked for a better guide nor more impactful experience. Thank y’all so much!!

As the lucky winner of a day trip for 4 people with owner Craig Wickham, we spent a fantastic day with Craig learning things about Kangaroo Island we did not know, and visited places we have never been. His generous donation to the Art Museum of KI is a tribute to him and his business. We were spoilt with a delicious lunch and having a diverse group with us that have lived on KI for 17 years and some that had never been here, he was able to tailor the day to make it interesting and exciting for all.

I cannot recommend this experience enough! My family and I (including a 12-year-old) enjoyed a private tour over 2 days, and our guides Arnie and Rick went above and beyond to make it the most amazing experience of our lives, with great success! It was amazing to see the animals in their natural environment, and to learn so much about the land and history of Kangaroo Island. The food on the tour was also incredible, despite going to some big cities afterward we’re still trying to find its equal! Thank you Arnie and Rick, and Exceptional Kangaroo Island for fully living up to your name!

Franck Vigouroux was an amazing guide! He is very knowledgeable about the area and all the creatures. He prepared a lovely lunch of fresh fish and potatoes on the grill plus a fresh salad, cantaloupe picked that day for dessert. Great chef! Franck made it a perfect day.
