This guided evening walk is a chance to see Kangaroo Island’s wildlife when it is most active. Over 90 minutes, you’ll head out with an experienced guide to look for nocturnal animals in their natural habitat, including koalas, Tammar wallabies, kangaroos, echidnas, bats and possums. It’s a good pick if you want something more wildlife-focused than a standard sightseeing stop, with a mix of animal spotting, local knowledge and big night-sky views.
Why backpackers love it
It’s a straightforward way to do wildlife spotting without needing to organise your own night walk or know where to go. Having a guide makes it easier to actually see animals you would probably miss on your own, and the shorter format works well if you’re fitting it into a bigger Kangaroo Island trip. At AUD 85, it sits more in the mid-range than budget end, but the guided access to native wildlife in the evening makes it a more distinctive option than another daytime lookout or drive-by stop.
You’ll join a fully guided walk at sunset and continue into the evening, with your guide helping spot animals and explain more about their behaviour and environment. The pace suits travellers with moderate fitness, and the tour is wheelchair accessible, with pram and stroller access as well. Along the way, keep an eye out for koalas, wallabies, kangaroos, echidnas, bats and possums, then look up for views of the Great Southern skies before wrapping up after around 90 minutes.
