As seen on Adelady and SA Weekender, this 2-hour buggy adventure takes you to wild places totally inaccessible to anyone else. After admiring koalas in the 500-year-old gum trees along the banks of the Eleanor river, your experienced Guide will take you to the edge of the Earth! At the coast you’ll marvel at the beauty of the rugged cliffs, turquoise waters and huge swell. You’ll get to go to a pristine remote beach where there will be nothing between you and Antarctica besides the vast Southern Ocean. Finish off, of course, with a ride through the desert-like landscape of Little Sahara’s epic inland sand dunes. This adventure is sure to be one to remember!

5.00We had an informative fun buggy ride with Aldis. Thank you so much. We were so lucky it was just the two of us with Aldis. The beach view on a beautiful blue sky morning is awesome as well as the thrill seeking ride up, over and down the sand dunes. A fun event.
Amazing experience

5.00We just rocked up and got the last 3 spots. They kitted us out in all the safety gear and then we were off. We travelled with Fox who was brilliant. He stopped often - either to point out something special or to go for a quick walk or to take a photo from a great viewing spot. Nothing was too much trouble. We stopped in a forest, saw a koala & native bees then to a magnificent beach. Riding the sand dunes was exciting and great fun. It was worth the money and we would really recommend this experience.
The most amazing adventure

5.00My kids had so much fun! My twin 7 year olds and I did the buggy tour with Aldis. 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!

5.00This tour was excellent; thanks Al for sharing our values. It was informative and varied; seeing the Ligurian bee hive was a bonus but also talking about the mellee birds and seeing a mound. Tasting samphire reminded us of our coastal home in the UK! The drive on to the dunes and sliding down to the beach was memorable, what a location! It was humbling to stare out to Antarctica and just take a moment to think. The force of nature was very apparent; the courage of past pioneers and the ingenuity of First Nations. Al was informative and witty; a great balance. We recommend taking the after hours tour to get a sense of solitude. The ride home over the large dunes was thrilling. We recommend everyone takes this tour! Thankfully you survived the fires; we hope you continue to thrive.
