Claire was an excellent guide. She was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna in the area and pointed out very interesting aspects of both. She constantly checked in with the comfort and interest of her guests. We learned so much! I would recommend this tour for anyone visiting Kangaroo Island

Koalas++

Peter_G, May 2023

Saw lots of koalas. Most spied by our guide Lee. He was most informative about the koalas on KI and the effects of the bushfires in 2020. He also was a wealth of knowledge of the flora of the district. Great experience

Koalas in abundance.

I visited Kangaroo Island for the first time with my 6 yrs son. Koala Walking Tour was our first experience in our visit and it was best suited to us! Tour guide Sanne took us to the tracks in the mid of wonderful nature, forest, stream, and dunes. It was unforgettable for us to saw Koalas peacefully sitting at the top of trees. Thank you for giving us this life long memories!

Nature walk of wonder.

JAMES_L, Jan 2022

Our amazing tour guide Bec walked us through the ever changing landscapes and local wild life encounters. My partner charlie and I were able to see koalas, kangaroos + try indigenous wild berries and other edible species of plants. We would very much recommend asking for Bec for a walking guided tour of this amazing nature reserve. Thank you again for this amazing experience .

Koalas and beautiful nature

Sarah_G, May 2026

Our tour with our guide Aldis was amazing!!! We enjoyed the nature walk, watching the landscape change between forest, valleys and sand dunes. We could see 8 koalas!!! And during the tour Aldis taught us a lot about the local fauna and flora, it was very friendly and funny. We will always recommend this tour!!!
