Little Sahara Small-Group Buggy Tour

1 to 4 hours

Overview

This guided small-group buggy tour gives you a broader look at Little Sahara than just the dunes. Over nearly two hours, you’ll head through varied landscapes including the Eleanor River, rugged coastline, a remote beach and the inland sand dunes. It’s a good pick if you want something more adventurous than a standard sightseeing stop, with local guidance and protective gear included.

Why backpackers love it

It packs a lot into a short time, so it suits travellers trying to see more of Kangaroo Island without planning a full-day tour. The small-group setup makes it feel a bit more personal, and the changing scenery keeps it interesting from start to finish. Just keep in mind this is a self-drive experience in Vivonne Bay, around 90 minutes from the Penneshaw ferry, with no shuttle or taxi options on the island.

What to expect

The tour starts in Vivonne Bay, where you’ll join a small group and be kitted out with a helmet and goggles before heading off with your guide. Along the way, you’ll stop to admire koalas in the old gum trees lining the Eleanor River. From there, the route continues to a dramatic stretch of coast with cliffs, turquoise water and strong Southern Ocean swell, then out to a remote beach. The experience wraps up with a ride through Little Sahara’s inland dunes, giving you a mix of scenery rather than just a single sand run.
