The best time to visit Kangaroo Island is between November and March (though you'll have difficulty finding lodging over the Christmas school-holiday period). July and August tend to be rainy, and winter can be cold (though often milder than on the mainland around Adelaide). Many companies offer 1-day trips to Kangaroo Island from Adelaide, but I would advise you to tailor your holiday to spend at least 2 days here -- 3 or even 5 days would be even better.
