Buggy tour around the property was exciting even in the rain. We saw kangaroos and koalas. Getting into the landscape and close to the wildlife was a highlight of our Kangaroo Island adventure.

Bring a warm jacket :) Candice was a fun guide. We learnt a lot about koalas, bees, roos and the dying sahara desert, so come and catch it while it is still there!

We had great time with...

We had great time with Branden. We found 16 koalas in the forest with 5 of mother and baby pairs!! The coast ride and sand ride were the highlight of the tour but we enjoyed the entire experience! We are so glad we did this and it’s a perfect mid-way stop on the way to see the remarkable rock and admirals arch! Would recommend for people who have kids and elderly that would enjoy the island without overly use your legs!

Family Fun!

Candice did a wonderful job. She now’s a lot about the area. My mom is 75 years old and had a great time too.

Great guide, great fun and a perfect way to start our KI holiday!

My husband and I had a really great time doing the Small Group Buggy Tour at Little Sahara. Our amazing guide, Candice, was super informative, knowledgeable about the wildlife and entertaining throughout the experience! We saw a tiger snake, several koalas, a kangaroo, even an eagle, woodlands, the coast and dunes! It was great fun and a perfect way to start our KI holiday! Thanks Candice and team!

Great alternative way to discover the beautiful kangaroo island landscape and have a little adventure

Best tour ever!

Andrew_N, Jun 2024
With Candice as our guide this was the best tour we did on Kangaroo Island by far! The buggy ride itself was so much fun, and the education and entertainment the best. We also saw some of the absolute best views of the coastline. I highly, highly recommend this tour

Lots of fun

Angela_N, Apr 2024
This was a great tour, friendly staff and we saw many animals. Was a favourite with my 8 year old daughter too

Sand dune fun

Catherine_K, Mar 2024
A fun trip though a privately owned Ed park with koalas, dunes and cliff side views. The dune buggy rattled through all sorts of terrains driven expertly by the tour guide. Lots of fun and remeber to book an early slot and take lots of water!

Asome

We have had a wonderful time with Jasmin. Were stock in the sand what was een extra Adventure. But we came out with the four wheel drive

Worth the money

Simon_F, Nov 2023
The whole tour was very enjoyable and our guide found lots of wildlife for us to marvel at. She was very informative and knowledgeable as well as being good fun.

Buggy Tour with surprise

Felicity_L, Oct 2023
Our buggy operator, Adam was top notch - very knowledgeable and a great driver! He surprised us and thrilled us during our tour - what a great way to see the sand dunes. Adam could answer all of our questions. Thanks from Felicity and family.

Fantastic fun

We had lots of fun with Joel. He showed us some koalas and had a very good knowledge of the flora in the area. The coastline is stunning. It was fun bouncing over the rugged terrain and sand dunes. I’d love to do this again if we ever come back here.

Great nature buggy excursion with wildlife, thrills and view

Sandeep_A, Aug 2023
Joel was an excellent guide and driver; enthusiastic and safe. We enjoyed the tour, the wildlife sighting, the dunes and the views of the secluded beaches. Comfortable safety equipment and Joel always checked in on us at every stop. Highly recommended!

Perfect day on the dunes!!

The best part was at the end when our lovely and knowledgeable driver Sanne put the foot down ,after a near vertical downhill section, and we took off in the sand dunes !

Very enjoyable trip

Glenda_J, Oct 2022
Excellent fun, guide was great, checkin was streamlined. The views were amazing and the dune buggy was an excellent machine.

Wonderful adventure

Koichi_Y, Aug 2022
I joined this buggy tour with my son (6 yrs old) and we had fantastic time with our tour guide Joel. We saw Koala in the forest walk, enjoyed spectacular views at the coast, and had exiting buggy ride on sand dunes, each of which, we will never forget. Thanks Joel for the wonderful time!

Tolle Wüstentour

Stefanie_R, Apr 2025
Wir kamen schon eher an. Candice unsere Guide begann sogar eher für uns. Sie ging super auf unsere Kinder ein und sprach auch mehrere Sprachen :) Die Tour selbst war unterhaltsam. Wir sahen Koalas und fuhren sportlich durch die Wüste. Sehr zu empfehlen !

Génial!!!

Brenton, Un guide génial , des paysages magnifiques et des koalas. L experience en buggy est très amusante.

Fantastico!

Antonella_M, Jan 2024
Bellissimo tour grazie alla straordinaria guida di Candies che, durante il tragitto, racconta molto dell'isola oltre a farti vivere un'esperienza meravigliosa. Stupende coste, dune sabbiose da attraversare in buggy e dolcissimi Koala. Consigliato!
