The area is beautiful and the e-bikes were a great way to experience it. We spent a good balance of time between the sand dunes and the surrounding bushland where we spotted lots of koalas and also saw a rare, large wild bee hive.
Our guide, Aldis, was supportive and informative of the surrounding area and wildlife. He provided a great briefing of the e-bikes, kept it simple, and made sure we were comfortable on them before we headed out. He managed our time well. During the ride he provided good guidance and encouragement on how to tackle 2 or 3 more challenging downhills on the dunes but never pushed us to do them, cautioning us that we didn't need to be heroes. Nothing was too hairy or difficult that you couldn't walk your bike down them if you wanted to.
Thanks for a fun experience!

My kids had so much fun! My twin 7 year olds and I did the buggy tour with Aldis and added on the sandboard rentals. We all had a great time and one of my kids was raving so much about being on the buggy. Early on in the tour we stopped to walk through eucalyptus trees and saw four koalas, a large goanna lizard and a rosa parrot. We also visited a tree that was partially hollowed out from the prior fires and used as a hive by a colony of Ligurian bees. Aldis was so informative about the history of Kangaroo Island, Ligurian bees and shared his extensive knowledge about the trees and other plants. He asked the kids questions and kept them engaged. I also felt that he took safety seriously. My two kids sat in front with him and I saw him glance down and check on the kids throughout the buggy ride. We stopped at a beautiful spot looking out at the beach. The view of the southern ocean and coast was breathtaking then we had a thrilling wrap up as we zipped up, down and around the sand dunes. Definitely worth doing when you visit KI!

Little Sahara was amazing! Be aware that you’re not able to access it at all times since it is on private property and it will be closed in the afternoon. Parking spots are right before the visitor center where you can buy tours or equipment to ride down the sand slopes. We decided not to book any options, went up the slopes by foot and enjoyed the stunning view! Going there is free of charge other than the activities you can book. A must see in my opinion.

We had an amazing experience at Little Sahara on Kangaroo Island! Riding the buggy over the sand dunes was such a thrill and something we will definitely remember for a long time. The landscape is absolutely stunning and makes the whole adventure even more special.
Our driver, Candice, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. She shared lots of interesting information with us, not only about the dunes but also about the local wildlife, including koalas, which made the tour even more engaging.
The buggy tour is quite expensive, but honestly, it was worth it. We would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kangaroo Island!

Very good experience In general. Fox is very experienced and he shared lots of knowledge about Kangaroo Island and this area with us. He is kind and friendly. We saw wild Koala, get to know the land, and sit on the buggy and enjoy the ride. Some of the places are almost 90degrees, and it was too exciting. Overall would recommend this experience.

We did the tobogganing on the sand dunes and the Koala walk. The koala walk was amazing! Saw loads of koalas, had a really interesting tour with our guide who was informative and friendly. Walked at a steady pace so you could take in the surroundings. Learnt a lot about KI. Toboggans were fun but not for the fair hearted! I’d recommend bringing goggles and maybe a snood/scarf so you don’t inhale sand!

We did 170min buggy tour on 1 Januart. What a way to start the year! We’ve had the buggy all to ourselves so it’s like a private tour.
Our guide Aldis was fantastic. He was friendly, informative and flexible giving us freedom to choose from different options.
Stunning views on the way, between surf and sand, not to forget the thrills of the buggy ride. We were lucky to see koalas (one with her joey!) and a pod of dolphins from the lookout.
100% recommend to book if you either/both nature and thrill lovers!

We took the buggy ride family tour. The guide / driver Mikyla was extremely nice and a good driver. We saw a few koalas and kangaroos. The sand dunes are beautiful. It was a super hot day so we didn't end up sliding on the sand dunes but overall a recommended experience.

Came in today with the family to do some tobogganing. The dunes are absolutely spectacular and the kids (and me too haha) had great fun sliding down the dunes. It was 35 degrees today. My advice is to maybe save your trip for temps under 30 as it was a little extreme

Little Sahara "After Hours Buggy Adventure" (110 min) was an exceptionally enjoyable experience. There were just 2 of us on that day, so it felt very much like a private tour (as a bonus :)). Our tour guide, Fox, is very experienced and knowledgeable. We saw and learned hips of things as we drove through the sparkling white sands of Little Sahara, had a thrilling ride up and down sand dunes, saw a number of koalas and kangaroos when we drove through the woodland area along the Eleanor River, as well as a gigantic beehive, reached the coastline with the lookout on the private beach and the ocean. Highly recommend visiting Little Sahara and, given a chance, have a Buggy Adventure tour.

A huge shoutout to Fox and Mickayla, they were both incredible guides. They took us across the sand dunes and out to the most beautiful hidden beach, and made the whole adventure fun, informative, and super welcoming. Their knowledge of the area, combined with their friendly energy, really made the tour feel personal and memorable.
They were also so accommodating throughout the day, making sure everyone felt comfortable and got the most out of the experience.
Highly recommend booking with Little Sahara, and if you can, request Fox and Mickayla, they made our trip unforgettable!

We did the buggy with Candice. I’m grateful for her wonderful guidance and hospitality. Her Japanese is also excellent. Thanks to her, our whole family had an enjoyable adventure and were able to appreciate the beautiful scenery. We also had the chance to encounter some wildlife. I highly recommend her to anyone visiting Kangaroo Island.

Highly recommend wearing sunglasses and leggings when sand boarding as it’s quite windy and sand gets EVERYWHERE.

We spent nearly 2hrs exploring with the very knowledgeable and fun 'Fox'. We checked out the river and surrounding flora and fauna including Koala and a Lurian bee nest in a tree. We then headed to an exclusive and very picturesque beach before heading to some fun on the sand dunes. We learnt a lot from Fox who was very mindful of our comfort and safety at all times. Thanks for a great morning.

What an awesome experience 3 full hours of pure joy. Candice was our guide and she was so nice to us. She took as through a very detailed explanation of the ecosystem and local wildlife and we saw lots of koalas, that alone would have made our day, but then we experienced another slot of time of pure adrenaline, up and down the dunes with our buggy. Thanks, it was really worth the money and I would truly recommend it.

We had an incredibly joyful, interesting, surprising and a little adventurous walk together with the two marvellous guides Candice and Nic who provided a lot of knowledge and their sheer excitement and enthusiasm for nature on Kangaroo Island.
Thank you so much, guys!
We had the chance to see a lot of water, which was obviously unusual for the tour, and we took a few detours but always felt safe. Not to forget: Singing or grumpy or acrophobic koalas and bees, birds, tea trees, kangaroos, the power of nature and the importance of fire. All packed in a two hour walk.
Great fun!
Highly recommended!

What a fantastic experience. We did the dune buggy experience and had so much fun. Our guide, Adam, was brilliant and knowledgeable. The buggy ride was so much fun and flying around through the scrub and over the dunes was a holiday highlight. We also learnt a lot about the local area and wildlife. The French lady at the counter (sorry, I can't remember her name) was welcoming and fun to talk with. Highly recommend!

Our family of five had the most unreal time at Little Sahara on the two-hour dune buggy experience.
My elderly parents were a little uncertain beforehand, but ended up having the time of their lives!
With regular wildlife stops, incredible views and photo taking opportunities, there was just the right mix of adventure and nature.
Spending the last part of the journey cruising up and down the incredible sand dunes was an absolute highlight!
This was far and away one of the best experiences we had on Kangaroo Island, for sure.

Great experience on the dune buggy with Tom as an expert guide. We had our (almost) four year old with us and Tom managed to explain things brilliantly to her whilst still keeping us interested. He was gentle and patient with her and we all felt safe with his expert driving! The private beach was beautiful and so refreshing on a unuasually hot day, the koalas included a particularly active baby and we even checked out a natural beehive. Great experience- the dune riding at the end was great fun!!

Temika was our guide on the after hours buggy tour. She gave lots of interesting information and we had a nice tour. The buggy tour involved us sitting in the buggy that she drove rather than us driving , still fun nevertheless. We spotted some koalas, visited a private beach and drove on the sand dunes. We also hired toboggans and slid down the sand dunes, which was fun but I think the shape of the dunes made keeping directions a bit challenging and a few people were falling off.
