Bus driver drove way to... - Bus driver drove way to fast. Was wet and raining and she did not drive to the conditions. We felt unsafe while on the un sealed sections of the road. We had to ask driver to slow down, so we could enjoy the experience. Got to see some nice parts of the Island. The guides also need to stop saying that Flinders discovered KI. This is not true. Aboriginal people have lived here for ober 60,000 years. They need to know the history, and start telling the truth. Flinders explored, he did not discover. Please educate the guides on this.

Tour was rushed, not worth the money - Your was rushed, only went to commercial business places. Should have been more scenery and wildlife. Our driver drove way to fast had to ask her to slow down
