Nighttime fun with animals! - Had to wait until I got home so I could sort out my pictures, but I truly enjoyed this great experience - we saw kangaroos, wallabies (with babies in their pouches), koalas, fairy penguins. So much fun seeing the animals running around out in the open and not in a zoo. The tour guide was great too - he knew exactly where to go and added a lot of interesting background. Really recommend this excursion!

Koalas, Kangaroos & Penguins—Unforgettable! - What an incredible experience! Colin was a fantastic guide who knew exactly where to look for Australia’s most iconic wildlife. We spotted koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, bushy-tailed possums, and even the adorable fairy penguins. The best part was watching the nocturnal animals come alive—Colin clearly has a knack for finding them. Highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see the real Australia after dark!

Essential - If, like us, you are visiting Kangaroo Island at least in part to see wildlife, consider this tour required: many species are nocturnal, and with many dirt roads and dark driving, you’ll want a guide who knows where to look. Also: private groups get to see more. Colin promised us a chance to see kangaroos, wallabies, koalas and penguins and, amazingly, delivered on all. He was a highly genial host and quite knowledgeable about the nonhuman residents. A marvelous evening out!

The tour just ended, and... - The tour just ended, and honestly, it was the best experience I’ve had on Kangaroo Island! I’m incredibly grateful for all the new information I learned—it was my first time hearing so many fascinating facts about animals. We saw tiny penguins, both small and large kangaroos and even managed to spot a few koalas in the trees. I’m still overwhelmed with emotions after this adventure! As an animal lover, this tour was everything I could have hoped for and even more. If you’re wondering whether it’s worth the price, I have the answer for you. The night “safari” on Kangaroo Island is an experience you’ll remember for a lifetime. This isn’t just a regular visit to a zoo—it’s a real journey in search of wildlife!
