Durante la nostra luna di miele in Australia, abbiamo avuto il piacere di visitare Kangaroo Island insieme a Luca, la nostra guida.
Luca ci ha portato nei luoghi più belli e caratteristici dell’isola, raccontandoci curiosità interessanti e rendendo l’esperienza ancora più coinvolgente.
Ci ha anche preparato un delizioso agnello al barbecue, che ha aggiunto un tocco speciale alla giornata. Grazie, Luca, per aver contribuito a rendere questo viaggio così indimenticabile, super consigliato!

Personally, I'm not particularly fond of organized tours. In safe places like Australia, you can rent a car and set off on your own adventure. However, Kangaroo Island is an area of farmers, ranchers, and fishermen. It’s not primarily a tourist destination, and if you really want to see kangaroos and koalas, you need an experienced guide. We relied on "Kangaroo Island hire a Guide." Our guide, Luca, is an Italian who has lived here for decades and knows every aspect of this place.
Luca took us to the right spots to observe everything this extraordinary island has to offer in its natural habitat. He also helped us understand what it means to live in such a beautiful and remote location. We spent the entire day in a comfortable 4x4. What was supposed to be a picnic lunch turned into a barbecue by the sea. We Italians also enjoyed our usual coffee break, prepared in the traditional way with a real moka pot. (Luca assured me that for non-Italian tours, he still offers delightful teatime.)
Highly recommended!
Personalmente, non amo particolarmente i tour organizzati. In luoghi sicuri come l’Australia, è possibile affittare un’auto e partire all’avventura. Tuttavia, Kangaroo Island è una terra di contadini, allevatori e pescatori. Non è un luogo prettamente turistico e, se desideri davvero vedere canguri e koala, hai bisogno di una guida esperta. Noi ci siamo affidati a "Hire a Guide". La nostra guida, Luca, è un italiano che vive qui da decenni e conosce ogni aspetto di questo posto.
Luca ci ha condotti nei luoghi giusti per osservare in natura tutto ciò che questa straordinaria isola ha da offrire. Ci ha anche fatto comprendere cosa significhi vivere in un luogo così bello e remoto. Abbiamo trascorso l'intera giornata a bordo di un comodo 4x4. Quello che doveva essere un pranzo al sacco si è trasformato in una grigliata vicino al mare. Noi italiani abbiamo avuto anche la nostra consueta pausa caffè, preparata come da tradizione con una vera moka. (Luca mi ha assicurato che nei tour non italiani offre comunque invitanti teatime.)
Consigliatissimo!

Nikki took us around Kangaroo Island and we were able to see and appreciate so much about it. She was friendly, knowledgeable and clearly cared about her home. I can’t recommend it enough.
