Exceptional Kangaroo Island is pleased to announce that we have been accepted into Virtuoso's Preferred Regional Tour Operator Program for Asia Pacific.

This is part of our strategy to connect with distribution partners whose clients are seeking immersive, full service and behind-the-scenes experiences.
