We recently took the 2-day Kangaroo Island tour with Kangaroo Island Hire-a-Guide. The first day focused on wildlife (koalas, kangaroos and, luckily for us, the exotic echidna); the second day on the incredible scenery and the Island’s recovery story from the dreadful wildfires a few years ago. If you have the time, we strongly recommend the 2-day tour to get the full story of this remarkable place.
This firm is a two-person operation. Our guide, Kangaroo Island native Nikki Redman, was exceptional and takes you places that other tours wouldn’t go and you certainly wouldn’t find on your own. She had a phenomenal knowledge of wildlife, nature and the Island’s history. The BBQ lunches prepared were fabulous and a lot of fun. Very highly recommended.

Fantastic diurnal and nocturnal tour of Kangaroo Island, with the expert guide (and great chef ;-) Luca! Many animals could be spotted in the wild: kangaroos, koalas, penguins, sea lions, seals... And a beautiful view of the night sky, with explanations on the Southern Cross. Unforgettable!

My husband and I (New York residents) had a limited time to spend on holiday in Australia. We chose to visit Melbourne, Adelaide and Kangaroo Island. I contacted Kangaroo Island Hire a Guide and booked the small group 2 Days Best of Kangaroo Island Wildlife Tour. Mr. Lovison(Luca) responded very quickly to my email inquiries. The booking process was uncomplicated. Luca is an amazing ambassador for KI, his intimate knowledge of the island makes this an unforgettable experience. His love and respect for the wildlife we encountered took it to the next level. You absolutely will not be disappointed!

My wife and I did the Best of Kangaroo Island 2 Day Tour and the Nocturnal Tour and they were both amazing! We saw kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, eagles, falcons, echidnas, owls, fairy penguins, sea lions, seals, heaps of birds and even a whale and a scarlet robin (which is apparently quite rare). A sea lion pup even came right up to us, it was incredible!
Luca makes it what it is though. Who better to show you Kangaroo Island other than someone who truly loves the place. When he spoke about or described places we were at or heading to, he was still so excited himself. He was so professional, friendly and knowledgeable, and gave us a lot of tips for when traveling the island ourselves.
Thank you Luca and Lutz, our stay would not have been the same without you.

We visited Kangaroo Island in early March, 2020. On two separate days we flew down from Adelaide and spent the full day with Luca and his incredible knowledge of KI and both the plant and animal life. So close to the fires our expectations weren't high, but we saw vast numbers of kangaroos, many koalas, sea lions galore, and miles of unburned landscape. Luca was right about insisting we come and right about everything else we did together. Conversation and animal spotting were all first class and a delight. Highly recommend his services and advice!
