Top-notch service during the fires near Cape Jervis when entry was halted, and we had to stay on Kangaroo Island for an extra two days. The staff at check-in and on the phone were amazing, friendly, and super helpful, very professional in their service.

Fun ferry trip. We brought our car too, and it was a breeze getting it on and off. Nice snacks and drinks available on board. The price was fair, and Kangaroo Island is a fantastic spot to check out.

We had a crazy ride from SA to Penneshaw, but the crew was cheerful and upbeat. Loading vehicles onto the ferry was done expertly; they’re like a well-oiled machine and super efficient.

We booked the ferry to and from Kangaroo Island with our rental car. Picking up the ticket was quick with really friendly staff. Parking the car on the ferry was tricky, but the crew was super helpful and parked it for me.

The ferry was great; once again, the staff were friendly and helpful at both Cape Jervis and Penneshaw. The crew at Penneshaw helped us change our ferry booking without any fuss.
