CRAIG WICKHAM – CO-FOUNDER & MANAGING DIRECTOR

To overcome the challenges of the bushfires and COVID-19 we've redefined what we do.

 

 

 

Exceptional Kangaroo Island

Craig Wickham and wife Janet started Exceptional Kangaroo Island 31 years ago with the aim of sharing Kangaroo Island’s nature and community.

Prior to COVID, experiences focused on small-group and private bus touring to balance wild-life and sustainable encounters with high standard hospitality.

Post-COVID, their offering is continually evolving. Exceptional Kangaroo Island now has an e-bike and walking tour and experiences have diversified in collaboration with local businesses including Kangaroo Island Olives.
