Overview

This guided quad bike tour gets you into parts of Kangaroo Island you would not usually reach on your own, crossing open grassland, native bush and rocky terrain. You will ride your own ATV and follow a local guide, with all necessary equipment included. There are options for different experience levels, from introductory rides to a longer route with more challenging terrain and Southern Ocean views, so it suits anyone keen for an active outdoor trip rather than a laid-back sightseeing stop.

Free cancellation

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Why backpackers love it

It is a good pick if you want to do more than just lookouts and wildlife stops, and actually get out on the tracks. Having gear included keeps planning simple, and the guided format means you do not need previous ATV experience to join. The longer route will appeal if you want something more challenging, but even the standard tours still get you into areas that feel more remote. It is not the cheapest activity, and you will need your own way to Vivonne Bay, so it makes most sense for travellers already exploring the island by car.

What to expect

You will start with a safety briefing and instructions on how to handle the quad bike before heading out with your group. Once you are comfortable on the controls, the ride takes you across a mix of open and rougher terrain, with your guide leading the way and helping keep things safe for different ability levels. If you book the longer Edge of the Earth option, expect a more demanding ride that trades extra effort for bigger coastal views. Wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. The tour is based in Vivonne Bay, about a 90-minute drive from the Penneshaw ferry terminal, and there is no shuttle service or taxi option on the island, so you will need to organise your own transport.
