Absolutely amazing day was had by myself and my 3 grandchildren ages 8, 9 and 10. They went sandboarding and then on a buggy ride where we had the best time with Claire our intrepid driver and guest support extrordinaire. We went over, down and through bush, sand dunes and the beach area. We saw wild koalas, kangaroos, wild waves and had so much fun. Little Sahara really does need to be on your itinerary when you visit Kangaroo Island. We also saw the most magnificent sunset that I have ever seen which Claire made some time to allow me to get photos. Nothing was too much trouble for her, she was just fantastic and I would totally recommend her for when you visit

I had the best experience at Little Sahara Adventure Centre! It was so cool taking a buggy around the sand and learning more about the local ecosystem. Big thanks to Aldis, my fantastic guide, for being so knowledgeable and answering the many questions I had. It was such a unique experience getting to see the sand dunes, ocean, and bush all in the same space, as well as a bunch of bees and some koalas!

On our recent visit to Kangaroo Island, we participated in a very enjoyable activity! We had no idea that there were amazing sand dunes in from the coast. We had the best fun on a guided buggy tour through these sand hills. Our guide, Claire, was wonderful. She ensured we were wearing the necessary safety gear, and went through the all the safety advice, before we jumped in the buggy and took off to search for koalas in the wild. We were successful in spotting numerous koalas, but really enjoyed the thrill of negotiating the steep dunes and crossing the creeks. It was so much fun! We really appreciated Claire's care and consideration for us, as Senior ladies. For younger adventurers, the guided quad bike tours would have to be a must-do activity!

I can’t recommend this buggy tour enough! From start to finish, everything was fantastic. A huge shout-out to our guide, Aldis — he truly made the experience special.
Aldis gave us a very thorough and clear safety briefing, making sure everyone felt comfortable and confident before we set off. During the tour, he spotted a wild koala for us and patiently explained its natural habitat and behavior. He also introduced us to many different types of trees along the way, which made the journey both fun and educational.
What touched us most was how attentive Aldis was to our family’s needs. Since our English isn’t very strong, and two of our elderly family members had difficulty following along, Aldis kindly slowed down his speaking pace so that everyone could understand everything. He also took beautiful photos of us throughout the tour — such a thoughtful gesture!
This buggy tour was absolutely worth every penny. Thank you, Aldis, and thank you to the whole team for such a wonderful desert adventure. We will never forget it!

An Unforgettable Adventure Full of Hidden Gems
Our adventure with Little Sahara was nothing short of extraordinary! From start to finish, it was a day filled with discovery, excitement, and unforgettable moments.
A huge shoutout to our guide, Fox, absolutely exceptional! Fox was knowledgeable, humorous, and incredibly experienced, bringing every part of the journey to life. His passion and storytelling made the entire experience even more special. Especially about the fires that occurred 6 years ago and the lives it lost and the regrowth that happened.
We were lucky enough to see koalas in their natural habitat, which was truly magical. Spotting a goanna for the first time was another highlight, and getting to touch and smell native tea tree added a unique sensory experience we didn’t expect.
Driving across the Sahara-like terrain was thrilling yet smooth, and the untouched beach we visited was simply out of this world, pristine, peaceful, and breathtaking.
So many hidden gems packed into one incredible day, all made even better by Fox’s guidance and energy.
Thank you, Fox, you’re a natural! Keep up the amazing work in creating such memorable experiences for your guests. Highly recommend this adventure to anyone visiting!

We did the 3 hour guided buggy tour and all had an amazing time. Aldis was an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable in the local plants, animals, geography, and history. We all learnt so much. We saw many koalas and got some great photos of them living their best lives. The track was bumpy but this was to be expected, and the buggy having very good suspension coupled with an excellent driver in Aldis made the ride a lot smoother than the surface would visually indicate. Access to a beach that is otherwise inaccessible added to the wonderment of the tour, then finishing with a drive around the sand dunes was perfection. Highly recommended, the memories of this day will far outweigh the financial cost of the experience.

Our tour guide Aldis was super nice and enthusiastic. He drove the buggy with amazing skills and took us cruising through the bushes and sandy areas, exploring the Little Sahara and having so much fun. Along the way he even stopped to guide us look for wild koalas and explained the history and background of Kangaroo Island’s koalas. We spotted quite a few sleeping up in the trees, and there was even a super active baby koala jumping around on the tree trunk!
It was such an amazing experience. Big thanks to Aldis and the whole team!🐨✨

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!

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 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!

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.
