After Hours Koala Walking Tour in Kangaroo Island

About this tour

Walk Kangaroo Island's bushland as evening falls on this two-hour guided trek through Little Sahara and surrounding native scrub. Your guide leads you toward Eleanor River, pointing out towering eucalypts where koalas roost, eagles nest overhead, and the soundscape shifts with nocturnal birds. You'll learn about seasonal bush foods and the ecology supporting this working landscape—a quieter, more intimate way to experience the island's wildlife and vegetation than daytime crowds allow.

What to expect

You'll start at Little Sahara and head into adjoining bushland on a marked trail, moving at a steady pace across moderate terrain for two hours. As light fades, your guide stops frequently to point out koalas in the canopy, explain the relationships between plants and animals, and let you absorb the shift from day to evening activity. Expect to hear far more than you see—insect chorus, bird calls, wind through old-growth gums—and to stand quietly while your guide locates wildlife. This isn't a strenuous hike but does require decent fitness and comfortable walking boots.

Good to know
