The nocturnal tour was an awesome experience. The tour guide Ciara was super knowledgeable about the animals and environment, and her passion for both were evident in the way she led the tour. She helped us spot several koala, wallaby, and even an echidna, and shared details about the 2020 fire impacts and recovery. Overall excellent experience and would recommend!

I wanted to do this tour for a little while as a 'local' who lives nearby. I used to run the Koala Walking Tour out of little sahara and was keen to see the difference. Off the bat the reserve is a very different location, as its a bit further west and has been affected by the fires. Our guide Ciara was lovely and knowledgable, and the tour was fun from the get go. We found cute koalas with no issue. There are heaps of grassy areas as the reserve used to be a farm, which actually attracts heaps of kangaroos! Then we hopped in a van and drove out to a field after sunset, where we met heaps of kangaroos, wallabies, and even the elusive possum. What I appreciated about this tour is that they do an indoor seminar on the fires that affected the area, showing videos of wildife and before/after photos of the fires. Very illuminating and educational, and happy I had the chance to go! It's one thing to learn about the fires, but another thing to see it.
So if you're in-between the LS or Hanson Bay koala tours, I'm of no help as they are both amazing. LS boasts a prettier walk and a land untouched by the destructive fires (so tall trees, and a chance to walk on the breathtaking sand dunes). But as they are a daytime walk, less of a chance to see other wildlife, and they don't teach about the fires as in-depth as Hanson Bay does, as Hanson bay has videos and artifacts to show (great for visual learning). Personally, as a bit of a wildife and KI fanatic, I'm happy to have done both!

We took the nocturnal tour as we were staying nearby, and wanted to see how the park is recovering from the fires in 2020 (we had visited before).
Our tour guide Ciara was enthusiastic and excellent, taking us through various areas, finding kangaroos, echidnas, wallabies and of course koalas. The final display of jumping from tree to tree by a baby koala will be one we remember for a long time.

Highly recommend the nocturnal tour. Lots of koalas. We saw at least 25, including several moms and babies. Lots of wallabies and kangaroos. I suspect the daytime walk is good, too. But the animals are a bit more active in the evening. A highlight of our Kangaroo Island trip.

Wonderful, knowledgeable and friendly young guides. We had an amazing experience walking around finding many different animals. Observed over a dozen Koalas including a Mum with her baby. The best thing we have done on Kangaroo Island. Highly recommended.

We went on a small group (4 people) nocturnal adventure tour, led by Steve. It was great to see kangaroo, wallaby and koala in their natural habitat. Steve has a great eye for spotting wildlife and knowing where they should be. He also has lots of facts about their lives and habits.

Une visite au coucher du soleil pour observer les koalas, kangourous, wallaby et cygnes noirs. Tout ça à pied et en voiture accompagné des explications de Jim qui était vraiment un super guide !
Une expérience à vivre quand on est dans ce coin du monde !

Con este tour se pueden ver erizos, buhos, ualabíes, canguros, possums, gansos y koalas. Nuestro guía, Neil, nos habló de los diferentes tipos de eucalipto, de la vegetación de la zona y de las características y los comportamientos de los diferentes animales que encontramos. Es muy interesante y muy completo. El tour dura algo más de 90 minutos; puede hacerse un poco largo. Es bonito ver cómo anochece y acabar paseando bajo el cielo estrellado. Totalmente recomendable. Imprescindible calzado que se pueda manchar con barro y ropa de abrigo en agosto!
