Koala Safari at Mikkira Station with Tour South
Sky Zurich,May 18, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We came to Port Lincoln for the shark cage diving. As we had planned for a free day before going out to the sharks, we booked the Koala Safari with Tour South as it matched our travel philosophy: experiencing wildlife in the wild, not behind glass in a zoo. We were looking to see koalas and kangaroos as nature intended. We booked the Koala Safari at Mikkira Station through Tour South, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of the entire trip. We were lucky enough to be the only two guests that day, which meant a completely private tour with our guide Ben, who was absolutely amazing! His knowledge of local wildlife is extraordinary. During the tour he shared fascinating details about their behaviour, and made the whole experience feel personal and unhurried. We saw nearly 40 koalas and numerous kangaroos in their natural habitat. It was everything we had hoped for. Ben also took photos throughout the tour and shared them with us afterward — no extra charge, just a lovely touch that we really appreciated. We genuinely cannot recommend this tour highly enough. If our stay had been longer, we would have absolutely added the Sand Dunes tour to the itinerary as well. Having come for the shark diving, we left with a completely different perspective on the Port Lincoln region. There is so much more here than most visitors realise!

5.00It was amazing to have the shuttle it saved the stress of that and also having a guide way more prepared for all situations that counts for a lot. Seeing him offer water to koalas in high heat was heartwarming too

"Count all the koalas you can see."

5.00Michele and I booked the, " Count All The Koalas you can see tour," also known as the "Mikkira Station Koala Tour, Port Lincoln" with the intrepid tour guide, Ben. His eagle eyes helped us spot 38 koalas with the occasional emu and kangaroo. Not quite the record of 50 koalas, but we felt that we were on the podium. Many were resting on low branches allowing for a selfie or two, but done without disturbing them. This tour gives an excellent experience of Australiarna. Thank you Ben.

ABSOLUTELY recommended WOW

5.00The trip was an absolute highlight, we saw many koalas, kangaroos as well as many different birds and impressive landscapes as well as trees. Our guide Ben knew well, had many anecdotes to tell and was super nice and extraordinarily competent. If it somehow goes, always try to get Ben as a guide! An absolutely recommended and informative excursion. Ben sends the perfect photos taken together as a service in the evening via drop box at the end of the trip. WOW
Smell their breathe

5.00What started out as a Koala mystery, meaning I wasn’t really sure what to expect, soon turned into an experience I’ll never forget. Even though you don’t hold these beautiful creatures, you see them in the wild, completely in their own habitat and literally so close you can smell their breathe. We saw 26 Koalas on our day, what a treat.
Extraordinary!
