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!

Buggy tour around the property was exciting even in the rain. We saw kangaroos and koalas. Getting into the landscape and close to the wildlife was a highlight of our Kangaroo Island adventure.

My partner and I enjoyed our tour so much, never doing anything like this before and first time on KI. Candice has such an amazing personality and she made the tour so much fun. We learnt lots of new things about nature and the Animals on the Island also. definitely worth doing and price is very reasonable for the length of tour we did.

Hands down, the buggy tour on Kangaroo Island was the absolute highlight of my trip! We were on the Discover Adelaide Kangaroo Island Tour and joined this activity. If you're looking for an exhilarating and unique way to explore the island, this is the tour for you. From the moment we jumped into the buggies, I knew it was going to be an unforgettable adventure. The scenery was incredible, and the buggy gave us access to some of the island’s most stunning and off-the-beaten-path spots. We drove through rugged terrain and had a blast zipping around the natural landscape. The sense of freedom you get from being in the buggy, while still taking in all the breathtaking views, is something you can't experience any other way. Our guide was fantastic, giving us a great mix of fun facts, local history, and wildlife insights, all while making sure we stayed safe and had plenty of time to take in the surroundings. I loved that we were able to drive through areas that you wouldn’t normally get to on a regular tour. Plus, the adrenaline rush was definitely a bonus! If you’re on Kangaroo Island, the buggy tour is an absolute must-do. It was definitely my favourite part of the entire trip and one of the most fun tours I’ve ever taken. Highly recommend!

This tour was amazing! More than we expected! Our tour guide was Candice and she was incredible. Very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and such a positive Vibe! We got to experience the flora and Fauna, see the costal line and of course driving through the Sand Dunes!

Adam was a fantastic guide, helping us understand the flora and fauna of this unique area on Kangaroo Island. And zipping through the dunes in the buggy was so much fun. I can highly recommend this activity.

Bring a warm jacket :) Candice was a fun guide. We learnt a lot about koalas, bees, roos and the dying sahara desert, so come and catch it while it is still there!

Super nice experience, too bad you weren’t allowed to drive yourself but that was more than compensated by the guide, who told a lot about the dunes koalas and trees where you lived

Our driver and guide was Candice. Her knowledge of the flora and fauna of the Little Sahara area and Kangaroo Island was excellent. She was able to give us the history of the koala and bee populations of the island. Her expertise in driving the buggy was faultless. The ride was exciting and at no stage did we feel unsafe. We highly recommend a Little Sahara Adventure activity when you plan your Kangaroo Island visit and if possible ask for Candice as your guide.
