My friends and I really enjoyed this activity today. My tour guide is Ken. He is super friendly. Our first stop is the big duck boat cruise in Victor Harbor. We saw black seals, various birds and little penguins as well as horse-tram. Then we had sandwiches from a local bakery for lunch. After that, we went to the cube. That was an incredible experience, I highly recommend anyone who hasn't been there before should go to check it out. The Gemtree winery is our last stop. Frankly speaking, I'm disappointed as Ken said their wine are very unique. However, I couldn't taste anything special and felt being treated unfairly. My friends had the same feelings too. Also, Ken mentioned we would provide a snack but we didn’t and the other people did. It's a shame that we couldn't have a happy closure because of this ... all in all it's still a very good activity.

Not picked up on time and left behind due to message not passed on about which motel we were staying at. Taken on our own to Victor Harbour, had a stale salad roll and a coffee, no boat ride, no walk to Granite Island, taken to the “cube” but not allowed to see all levels, only if we paid, then to Gem winery for wine tasting and nibbles. Only good thing, driver was lovely and very apologetic, but not his fault, supposed to be the highlight of our holiday, so disappointing.. $668.00.. was the cost, we got an $88 refund , shame shame shame Pure SA

Our lovely driver was very informative. We were a group of 4 and nobody else was on our trip so we felt very special. We loved the walk to Granite Island, our boat trip to see seals, sealions and dolphins. I was excited that the Cube winery was included in our trip. Jem Tree was a terrific winery, very enthusiastic and passionate staff. Wonderful wines!! Lovely cheese platter after our wine tastings.
