Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
Great service all the way through. Always friendly and helpful. Greg, thank you
I am always happy with the level of service received from you.
When you’re paying lots of money for first class, it’s a poor show when you can't get your first, second or third choice of food. Lots of people were complaining. British Airways should do much better
American Airines had a a delay and I lost a connecting flight but all resolved in 3 hours.
First Class service and very personalised too. Thank you
Tommy Ellis was exceptional - he was patient, kind and very helpful when trying to book a flight following my father's death. I felt I was in the best hands possible during a difficult time.
Faultless holiday
Could have reminded me initially about different seats available e.g. premium economy as well as finding the cheapest seats.
Efficient as always
Everything worked out beautifully. Thank you, Lee.
Excellent booking service, unfortunately BA left one of my pieces of luggage at Heathrow and I got charged to get it to my final destination 3 days later! Not impressed...
Always there when you need them. Takes the worry out of travelling. Thank you
Joey was very friendly helpful and knowledgeable
Jerry has been amazing, easy to talk to and patient
The whole holiday was perfect - everything that was organised by youselves went like clockwork and we would certainly use you again.
I would not think twice coming back to use you guys - everything that I’ve requested was dealt with promptly and was clear in the email
Kept well informed
Christian and DialAFlight were very helpful and we had a great trip. Our room was not great when we got there but after 24 hours the hotel gave us a new one and after that it was fantastic. I would recommend DialAFlight any time. It’s a very personal experience and great help for anyone travelling around the world
A hassle free way to organise what was a fairly complicated trip.
One stop shop - everything on one phone call
DialAFlight are perfect partners for perfect holidays. We couldn’t imagine our holiday without DialAFlight.
After many years of being a client. You just get better and better. Keep it up guys. You are the best
Love DialAFlight. Daniel is so helpful and nothing seems too much trouble for him. We always book through him and he goes out of his way to find us the best fares.
Travel manager Katie Wallis was tremendous throughout, especially when a seriously delayed flight from Grenada to Gatwick meant we missed our easyJet connection to Edinburgh. One call and we were rebooked on a later flight. I have used DialAFlight over many years and have never been let down by their great service and professionalism.
Second trip booked by Ashley and again everything was organised perfectly. Great customer service from start to finish.
The person I deal with was excellent, friendly and very efficient.
Delighted with our first trip through you - already started the ball rolling for the next one.
Another great holiday through DialAFlight. Tony was superb and a great help throughout
Clear communication from start to finish. Excellent service thank you.
All good, app great addition. Thanks Sean for fantastic service
It may be named for Australia’s famous marsupial, but Kangaroo Island has a lot more to offer than that.
From rugged coves to gleaming white sand beaches, this wildlife sanctuary is the perfect place to spend a few days swimming with dolphins, sunbathing with sea lions and tracking echidnas through the bush.
In the beautiful state of South Australia, just an hour’s ferry ride from Cape Jervis on the Fleurieu Peninsula, Kangaroo Island sits 130 miles from the wonders of the state capital, yet feels a world away.
It makes the island the perfect natural escape to complement your time in the vibrant city of Adelaide. Follow the coast south through the vineyards that unfurl away from the city’s doorstep, then catch the SeaLink ferry to Penneshaw, the charming town perched on Kangaroo Island’s Dudley Peninsula. Alternatively, enjoy a 30-minute scenic flight from Adelaide to the island’s capital, Kingscote.
Wine and dine in Adelaide
Begin your journey by flying directly into Adelaide, the gateway to Australia’s wine country, where some of Australia’s most celebrated wines are produced.
This wine capital also happens to be one of only two cities in the world to have National Park City status, meaning you just might be sharing that buzz with rainbow parakeets at the Drunken Parrot Tree, in the city’s Botanic Gardens.
And it’s not just wine on the menu. After a day exploring the many nature reserves within the city or spending time by the beach, it’s time to loosen your belt buckle and indulge in some hearty Adelaide cuisine.
Dine like a local, with raucous evenings spent at vibrant restaurants tucked away in the winding streets. Serving up delicious local produce, these so-called laneways offer some of the best food in the city.
With your appetite satiated and curiosity piqued, now’s your chance to explore the iconic Kangaroo Island.
A zoo without walls or fences
Whether arriving by short flight or ferry, stepping onto the ochre earth of Kangaroo Island is to fall into a dream. A solitary echidna rummages through the undergrowth, curious baby joeys cling to their protective mums, and raptors patrol the cerulean skies. Stay for a weekend or stay for a week; there’s no end to the experiences to be had.
Swim with pods of wild dolphins off the sparkling shores of Emu Bay, accompanied by a marine expert who will fascinate you with information on these playful creatures.
Back on dry land, meet the rare Australian sea lions of Seal Bay with a stroll along the boardwalk. Join a guide to get up-close to the colony on the beach, and learn more about them at the Seal Bay Visitor Information centre.
Looking for more wildlife experiences? Why not join the world expert on Australia’s mysterious egg-laying echidnas and track them on a bush walk.
You’ll see the Kangaroo Island kangaroo at every turn, plus keep your eyes out for koalas, wallabies and the endangered glossy black cockatoo.
Discover otherworldly landscapes
From snoozing on the sweeping white sands of Emu Bay to sandboarding down the gleaming dunes of Little Sahara, this island has the perfect pastime for everyone.
From the high coastal cliffs to the expansive limestone plains, the diversity of Australia’s third-largest island means surprises around every corner. Set off alone and discover at your own pace, or join a local island guide to show you secret spots that remain off the map.
In Flinders Chase National Park, watch a stunning sunset at Remarkable Rocks, a geological landmark formed by millennia of being blasted by the wind, rain, sea, and sun. And the natural rock formation Admiral’s Arch offers sea views of the Southern Ocean framed by stalactites and dotted with fur seals basking in shallow rock pools.
Once voted Australia’s best beach, Vivonne Bay is a powdered sugar and pristine water delight, the perfect place to share a picnic of local island cuisine and watch the dolphins frolicking in the surf.
Savour delectable island cuisine
There is more to Kangaroo Island than picnics on picture-perfect beaches. This island is home to a thriving gastronomic scene, where the vineyards of the south meet traditional island influences.
Try a late-harvest Riesling produced from juicy hand-picked grapes at Bay of Shoals Wines in Kingscote, opt for a French-owned Bordeaux wine at The Islander Estate Vineyards, or savour a drop of global award-winning Gin at Kangaroo Island Spirits.
Kangaroo Island’s gourmet offering feels distinctly Mediterranean, with local honey, wine, olive oil and seafood in pride of place on every menu. Head to Cactus in Kingscote for rich and smooth coffee, and to Milly Mae’s Pantry in Penneshaw for farm-to-fork dining in the shade of the fruit trees in her garden.
Tucked off the picture-perfect shores of Kangaroo Island’s Snelling Beach, your table is set under the majestic limbs of the ancient Enchanted Fig Tree. Planted some 120 years ago, its bending boughs and shaded canopy now provide a magical setting for a feast worthy of a fairy tale.
At Kangaroo Island Oyster Farm Shop, treat yourself to a refined oyster tasting or a secluded al fresco lunch featuring fresh salads, local vegetables, rich smoked meats and local wines and beers.
Sleep in style and serenity
Enjoy a spot of all-inclusive sustainable luxury at Oceanview Eco Villas on the rugged Redbanks coast, where Kangaroo Island Spirits cocktails and three-course meals made with local produce await.
Get away from it all, staying at the stunning Sea Dragon Kangaroo Island, which offers tours, delicious cuisine, wines and more at no additional cost.
Two years after bushfires wreaked havoc at the award-winning Southern Ocean Lodge, this luxury retreat is set to reopen in time for another influx of starry guests and adventurers in 2023. Another new arrival is the fascinating WanderPods, an At Wander project of four minimalist yet stylish pods nestled on the northern bluff.
For a spot of history, Seaview Motel in the centre of Kingscote was the first motel on the island. Originally built in the 1920s, it has now been refurbished into a modern coastal retreat and is the perfect place from which to explore.
Whether flying from Adelaide or hopping on the SeaLink ferry from Cape Jervis to Penneshaw, combining these two dazzling destinations is easy.
From vibrant city lights to star-studded island skies, atmospheric laneways to picnics with kangaroos, adventure awaits in Adelaide and on Kangaroo Island.
