Great Bush Tour - Claire was an excellent guide. She was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna in the area and pointed out very interesting aspects of both. She constantly checked in with the comfort and interest of her guests. We learned so much! I would recommend this tour for anyone visiting Kangaroo Island

Genuinely authentic and interesting - Absolutely excellent. We were expecting something curated, maybe slightly inauthentic and commercial, but it was none of those. The habitats we visited were all natural and our group was only 4 people. Out guide Candice was very knowledgeable and entertaining.
And yes you will see koalas, in their natural environment

Wow .. amazing tour so many cute Koalas and more… - Our guide Candy was very engaging, informative and made the walking tour such good fun. The Koalas were plentiful once you got used to spotting their resting places. They are so cute and beautiful. We had frequent pauses to take photos have a drink and rest the two hours flew by. It was a flat walk through a woody trail so good footwear and water essential. We also saw bees in a tree hive and an enchiladas trotting around which is rare. We are so pleased that we booked this tour and highly recommend.

Koala tour with Candice at Little Sahara Adventure Centre - Myself, my wife, and our 21yo son had a lovely Koala tour with our guide Candice.
The trail was very easy, we saw about 15 koalas, a beautiful bee hive in a hollowed out tree, and some really interesting plants. Candice did an awesome job spotting koalas and explaining the history and environment on Kangaroo Island including the fires, the regrowth, and the role the koalas play in it all.
We also saw a pretty big “guana” which looked to me like a monitor lizard. We had to wait for it to cross the street (slowly) before we could pull in.
There’s a big sand dune there as well and they seemed to offer sand sledding and boarding as well but we didn’t do those activities.
If you want to see koalas, I would highly recommend Little Sahara and asking for Candice, though I’m sure all of their guides are great.
Thanks again!

Fabulous walking tour on a very hot day - Mikyla gave us a wonderful and very informative tour, the best I have had for wildlife. We saw lots of koala and learned new things as well as having a nice walk in the bush. Thank you Mikyla.

Super visit - We had a brilliant two hours being led on a wander through the bush by Mikyla. We saw around 15 koalas, some really close up! Nice to finish up on the spectacular dunes. Easy access and a loo, what more could you want. Great value for money.

Personal touch - What an experience! Just our family (2 adults, 2 children) with guide Candice. She knows so much about the wildlife, plants and history of the area. Very interesting. The weather when we went was pretty changeable (super windy; frequent showers then bright sunshine) and with young children this made it a challenge to keep coats on etc. Candice was very patient and kind, lending us waterproofs and helping to carry things when our hands were full of children. She modified the route and went at our pace to ensure we had the best possible experience. She even cycled the route again at the end to find my husband's phone which he thought he'd dropped. We had a great time and saw loads of koalas. Thank you!
