The tour was a lot of fun, and we even saw several kangaroos.
We recommend you chose this experience
It was such a calm and enjoyable way to explore part of Kangaroo Island. Highly recommend this tour if you are visiting K.I. and looking for something peaceful, scenic, and memorable.
Would absolutely do it again next time we’re on KI - can’t recommend enough.
My Daughter (10 years) had no problem following Claire's instructions and we will definitely come here again. 10 out of 10
We did kayaking- never done before but our guid was amazing guiding us.
Also quadbike riding was adventures Clare was amazing.
Best, best best activities to do.
Thanks Kangaroo island outdoor action
When we got going it was an absolute buzz for the 4 of us.
Definitley would do again next time we're on the Island but would opt for the 3 hour session. Many thanks KI Quad Bike Tours and thanks to Cory.
In relation to the sand boarding: it would have been better if we had received directions on how to turn, straighten and the basics of sand boarding. We only got told how to wax the board and we were sent on our way. Definitely not the same service as the quad bikes.
Our guide, Fox — a giant of a man from the Netherlands — was incredibly fun, knowledgeable, and reassuring. He patiently taught my son how to ride and was equally understanding and supportive with both him and my wife. Fox constantly checked in with everyone, gave helpful tips throughout the ride, and made sure we all felt comfortable and safe.
His knowledge of the surrounding area and local wildlife was excellent and added even more value to the experience.
I would highly recommend this adventure to beginners and families. It was safe, well-run, and an unforgettable experience for all of us.
Saw some kangaroos even though it wasn’t the peak time(was morning)
The sand boarding was really fun, it was a workout for the legs getting up the dunes so we only made it there once during our staying but look forward to coming back next summer.
We did kayaking and quad biking, and Claire was so patient with our entire family—especially with our girls, who absolutely loved her. She made everyone feel safe, confident, and included, and her calm, encouraging manner really stood out.
It was clear she genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience, and she went above and beyond to do so. Highly recommended—thank you, Claire, for such a memorable day!
A special mention goes to Nic, our guide, who was absolutely fantastic. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel comfortable and confident before we even got on the quad bikes. Nic took the time to explain everything clearly, ensured everyone’s safety throughout the ride, and shared interesting insights along the way, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
The ride itself was exhilarating, with stunning scenery and a great mix of adventure and exploration. We would definitely do this again and highly recommend Kangaroo Island Outdoor Action to anyone visiting Kangaroo Island.
We actually came in late for our ride due to some congestion on the ferry and they were very understanding after we called them and we still had our full ride time.
Thanks team!
Nic was excellent. He was friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable, providing great instruction on how to handle the quad equipment and the track safely. Crucially, he was also highly informative about the beautiful local nature we saw along the way, and even shared some fantastic tips on other activities to check out across Kangaroo Island.
He ensured the entire experience felt safe, fun, and genuinely engaging. If you're looking for an adventurous and informative way to explore Kangaroo Island, this is a great choice!
Was a very peaceful kayak along the river with Nic giving some great information on the surrounds along the way. He gave great instructions before beginning our tour so we knew exactly what to do.
Nic was an outstanding guide – incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate. He explained not only the history of the island but also the characteristics of the local plants and wildlife, making the whole experience educational as well as exciting. His explanations were clear, engaging, and full of fascinating details that really brought the island to life for us.
What made the tour even more special was Nic’s warm personality. He made everyone feel comfortable, added a touch of humor, and created a fun and relaxed atmosphere throughout the ride. On top of that, he kindly took many photos of us during the experience, so we could fully enjoy the moment without worrying about capturing it ourselves.
Exploring Kangaroo Island on quads while learning so much from such a dedicated guide was absolutely unforgettable. This was without a doubt the highlight of our trip, and we couldn’t recommend Nic and this tour highly enough.
If you’re visiting Kangaroo Island, don’t miss this adventure – it’s the perfect combination of nature, fun, and knowledge, with a truly top-class guide!
10 of us, from total novice to experienced riders, were fully equipped & practised.
The terrain & scenery hugely varied.
Bushfire ravaged areas & the regeneration provided a very stark contrast.
Thank you to Nic who took the experienced riders further a field, as us novices were hampering their abilities.
And a big shout out to Fox who made sure I wasn’t left behind because of my cautiousness & inexperience.
Unfortunately, by the time I was feeling comfortable & more confident the tour had come to an end.
Next time I’ll go longer & harder.
Cheers Nic & Fox you made my day amazing!
Stopped for koala, kangaroos, took plenty of photos. Also introduced us to local lunch spot and attractions at Vivonne Bay
We were the only two on the shorter self drive Quad Tour and Nick was an amazing guide.
Interesting course - some technical bits, but I think a bit basic for advanced quad riders, but we had a blast.
We got to see all kinds of nature - Koalas, Echidnas and a variety of flora and some amazing views of the south coast.
Quads were well maintained and easy to handle. Safety gear was in really good condition.
Lots of info at the stops and had a guide laugh either the guide.
Can definitely recommend.
Despite some moody weather, this quad bike tour was a great experiences! A stunning mix of rugged landscapes, rolling hills, and native bushland
What made it even more magical was the wildlife. We spotted kangaroos hopping through the trees and even caught glimpses of wild koalas.
The tour itself was so well-run: Max was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the land and its wildlife.
Highly recommend this tour if you’re after a bit of adrenaline, a lot of natural beauty, and a truly unique Aussie adventure — rain or shine! 🌧️☀️🌳
Nic our guide was so good and patient with us inexperience quad bikers.
Always put safety first. Totally recommend
From Julie, Ellen and Sue 🥰
