How to get to Kangaroo Island

Getting to the Kangaroo Island will not make you much difficulty. This can be done in several ways. The starting point to the island will be the city of Adelaide, from where airplanes and a ferry depart to the island daily. As for the flight, then everything is simple – you buy tickets for the flight and after 40 minutes, you are on the spot. Ferry is also quite a popular method, but it is fraught with some difficulties. Firstly, this method is highly dependent on weather conditions. In addition, if the weather is unfavorable, the ferry flight will be canceled and you will have to return tickets, cancel hotel reservations and adjust the vacation plan. Secondly, the ferry trip is not suitable for those who suffer from motion sickness. In any case, choose the way that will be convenient only for you.
