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!!

Wonderful and varied experience! Share a great adrenaline hit and Temika handled the wheel so expertly that I had no qualms. She showed interesting bush Tucker we could eat. Saw lots of koalas, at eye level and we could go close, and unusually they were moving or an eye open. Highly recommended!

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.

Temika took us on our Koala walking Tour and was an absolute delight! So very friendly and personable, all the while sharing knowledge of our surrounds. We had the choice to include some of the sand dunes in our walk which was a great bonus too. Highly recommend as an activity while on KI.

Candice and Joel provided an absolutely unforgettable buggy tour experience! From start to finish, their professionalism and enthusiasm shone through, making the adventure both safe and exhilarating. Candice’s knowledge of the area and engaging storytelling added depth to the journey, while Joel ensured every detail was perfectly executed, from safety briefings to navigating the terrain seamlessly.
The tour was a perfect mix of adrenaline-pumping excitement and breathtaking scenery. They went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing time, capturing incredible photos and sharing fun facts along the way. Their passion for what they do is truly contagious.
Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a unique, well-organized, and thoroughly enjoyable adventure. Candice and Joel are absolute gems, and I’d book another experience with them in a heartbeat!
Love from Sydney!

Five stars just isn't enough for what we just experienced! The buggy ride, with Candice as our driver and guide, is one of the best tours we've ever done. The ride was fun and educational, and the views were absolutely sensational. Can't thank Little Sahara Adventures and Candice enough for such a memorable afternoon.

Highly recommend if you're after an activity on KI. Appropriate for all ages, depending on the activity you're after.
Candice was very easy to communicate and organise our day with, and incredibly knowledgeable! Not only did we have a great time playing in the sand dunes on the fat bikes and sand boards, we also learnt a lot about the wildlife and native area.
Very flexible with the weather - thankfully we had a nice day to ride, but the option of refund was there if it was terrible!

Luckily we were alone at the walk tour, and our guide could speak our mother tongue too!
Candice was really knowledgeable and friendly. The kids loved asking questions and looking around to spot koalas.
We saw in total 14 koalas, most of them awake and interested by us somehow .
I highly recommend this tour which is not crazy expensive as you see koala into the wild and found out also some fun facts about the nature.

Hi Milin, thank you for your great review! We are very glad to read that you had a great time during your Koala Walking Tour; Candice had a lot of fun with you too. Fourteen koalas spotted is not bad... but we bet that you could double that number if you ever come back on another adventure with us, now that you are experts at koala spotting!

A must do on Kangaroo Island!! We did the 2-hour buggy tour with the fabulous owner, Brenton. What a blast. We had booked the 1-hour but he recommended the 2. He said if we didn’t like it, we didn’t have to pay the extra. It was well worth the extra time and money.
Brenton was born on this island. He is a wealth of knowledge and highly entertaining. We had the opportunity to see koalas, kangaroos, eagles and dolphins . The views were stunning. and the buggy ride was fun
It’s a well run business with high end buggy’s and great sand board equipment. We didn’t have time to do the sand boarding but adults and children were having a blast. The sand dunes are gorgeous and reminded us of the ones we saw in the African Sahara.
Thank you Brenton for an amazing time. We highly recommend this activity. It’s even worth a day trip to the island a

Interesting place to visit on Kangaroo Island. If you down want to rent boards to slide on sand, you can also simply have a walk on the sand dunes. Place is accessible for free.

Joel and Candice were amazingly committed to making sure we had a great time in spite of the circumstances!
My kids were so sad to miss out on riding the dunes on sandboards and toboggans that we came back the next day for some amazing weather and more fun! I would definitely recommend Little Sahara to anyone visiting the island, especially with kids!

His knowledge about the plants and animals on the tour was fascinating and he stopped several times to show us different plants, kangaroos and even a koala! Joel was amazing at driving the buggy and he also took us to the most amazing places to get breathtaking views of the entire island. We ended the tour with an amazing tour of the dunes! I cannot recommend this enough - if you go to Kangaroo Island, this guided buggy tour is a must ! Thanks again to the team (Danny and Joel) at Little Sahara for making this a memorable day !
