          Top Day with a Top Guide.
          A great day touring parts of Kangaroo Island thanks to our excellent guide Nikki. Her passion and knowledge of KI was very evident. Being in a small group, just 4 of us plus Nikki, meant a more personalised tour. We had a great bbq lunch cooked by Nikki. I would certainly recommend Small Group KI Touring.

          Most incredible tour guide
          Nikki is the most incredible tour guide I’ve ever had; she is immensely knowledgeable and passionate and an all-round incredible human being. We saw so much wildlife on this tour and had such an amazing time. Nikki gives you an authentic experience of Kangaroo Island and knowledge of the wildlife. This was the most awe-inspiring trip I’ve had and made me fall in love with Australia even more. Thank you, Nikki, for the most perfect experience of Kangaroo Island. You won’t get a better tour! - Katy

          The BEST day
          Well what can I say, we have just had the BEST day. Our brains are bursting from the amount of things we've learnt - to say Nikki is an expert would be an understatement! We saw so much - sea lions, kangaroos, koalas, wallabies, echidnas, dolphins, parrots, various birds.... She was so lovely with our two daughters, she quickly learned our youngest is a koala fanatic and made sure we saw lots and learnt plenty!! We enjoyed the most delicious BBQ and a glass of wine with a sea view. Special thanks to Luca for preparing this and for providing vegetarian treats for me :) We cannot thank Nikki enough for the most magical day. Our hearts are full x

          Nikki was a fantastic guide, capable of conveying her love for animals and the island. An unforgettable experience that we highly recommend and that left us fully satisfied.

          Enchanting evening of Kangaroos, Koalas, and Penguins!
          Lucca was extraordinary. He was patient and really has an awareness of how to find animals in the wild. He also has a firm understanding of the islands ecosystem and really gives great context to the fauna of the island.

          Lots of Animals
          Great night time tour. Saw a ton of animals. Highlights were seeing the Possums running on the ground, and the penguins. Guide was very knowledgeable about the area and the animals. Was interesting. Would recommend when visiting Kangaroo island.

          A spectacular, unforgettable experience
          We have been traveling throughout Australia for 3.5 weeks and our day on Kangaroo Island with tour guide Nikki was the highlight of our entire trip. The itinerary was perfect to see the best of Kangaroo Island in one day without feeling tiring, in a very comfortable vehicle. Lunch was absolutely delicious (we had fresh grilled chicken skewers, tasty warm bread, potato salad, fresh green salad and wine in a lovely national park setting) and water, tea, coffee and yummy Anzac biscuits were on offer. As a tour guide, Nikki was punctual, caring, and attentive. Best of all, the incredible knowledge of our guide about all things KI, from its history to its geography and especially its abundant flora and fauna made for an incredible day. She was able to spot all kinds of wildlife, and knew how to quietly and safely get closer for the best views and pics. We cannot recommend KI or especially this tour enough!

          The Best Tour
          I can’t say enough good things about this touring company! They go above and beyond to make your trip special. We took 2 day tours with them and a night safari. We saw sooo many animals and they know where to look for them. Don’t consider anyone else!

          Best way to see Kangaroo Island
          Our experience with KI Hire a Guide was absolutely 5 stars. We did the nocturnal tour with Luca and the day tour with Nikki, both of whom were fabulous. Nikki was very enthusiastic, extremely knowledgeable, and so much fun. She helped us spot a lot of animals including an echidna, koalas in trees and on the ground, kangaroos, eagles, sea lions & pups. The tour included a fabulous lunch cooked on the barbecue. We would highly recommend requesting Nikki for a day tour - she is absolutely phenomenal. Luca is very quick to respond to questions and pays attention to all the details when organizing the tours. He was great at spotting nocturnal activity during our night tour (including an echidna, penguins, opossums, kangaroos, an owl, and tons of wallabies of course). 10/10 recommend KI Hire a Guide.

          Podlax- A great tour
          What a terrific day. Our guide Nikki Redman was so fun to be with She was knowledgeable and her love of the island and passion for the animals was obvious. We had five in the group and the excitement of the overseas family of seeing native Australian animals in the wild was infectious and made a great trip even better. Would definitely recommend this day trip especially if time is limited. Great memories. Thanks Niki and Luca

          Two great tour days - two great Guides!
          Enjoyed a fabulous day yesterday on the Seal Bay Tour with Nikki & also did the Flinders Chase tour with Luca last week. Both Guides have such great knowledge to share about flora & fauna , history & current issues. Great to have someone with local knowledge to drive us to places we’d never find or visit otherwise and know where to find the native fauna in their natural habitat. We saw lots! Lunch & comfy vehicle ride included. Highly recommend!

          110% recommend doing this tour, so worthwhile hiring a guide to
          Wow, what an incredibly enjoyable day! Nikki made the whole day so wonderful for our family. Her enthusiasm, wealth of knowledge and love for Kangaroo Island shone through. From the accommodating side jaunts for our bird phtotography interest, to the magic of Seal Bay, the spotting of koalas and echidnas and the delicious lunch. We topped off our day capturing the Western Whip Bird, glad we were there to share that special moment with you Nikki! Highly, highly recommend Nikki and Luca to see all the sights of KI. A must do.

        My wife and I did the Best of Kangaroo Island 2 Day Tour and the Nocturnal Tour and they were both amazing! We saw kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, eagles, falcons, echidnas, owls, fairy penguins, sea lions, seals, heaps of birds and even a whale and a scarlet robin (which is apparently quite rare). A sea lion pup even came right up to us, it was incredible!

        Luca makes it what it is though. Who better to show you Kangaroo Island other than someone who truly loves the place. When he spoke about or described places we were at or heading to, he was still so excited himself. He was so professional, friendly and knowledgeable, and gave us a lot of tips for when traveling the island ourselves.

        Thank you Luca and Lutz, our stay would not have been the same without you.

        Beautiful experience, we visited almost the entire coast, saw wonderful places. Luca was patient and kind, he prepared excellent coffees and picnics for us. We drank excellent wine. He is very friendly and professional. He made us discover unusual places even far from the tourist circuits. I recommend it to everybody. We saw dozens of different animals.

        Fantastic diurnal and nocturnal tour of Kangaroo Island, with the expert guide (and great chef ;-) Luca! Many animals could be spotted in the wild: kangaroos, koalas, penguins, sea lions, seals... And a beautiful view of the night sky, with explanations on the Southern Cross. Unforgettable!

        We spend 2 days with Lutz on Kangaroo Island and he showed us the hidden secrets of the Island. Without him, we would not have been able to discover the wonders on this place.

        We travel with children (9, 12 and 14 years old) and they kept excited the entire 2 days.
        Lutz helped us to spot Wallabies, Kangaroo, Koalas, Echidnas, Goannas, Seals, Parrots, and many others animals in the wild. He showed us beached with pristine waters, hidden beaches reached only with a secret tunnel in the rocks. He drove us on dirt road I would never took if I would have been by myself.
        His knowledge and contact with children was really great.

        Definitely one of our best moment in our Australia tour.

        Thank you Lutz!

        We recently took the 2-day Kangaroo Island tour with Kangaroo Island Hire-a-Guide. The first day focused on wildlife (koalas, kangaroos and, luckily for us, the exotic echidna); the second day on the incredible scenery and the Island’s recovery story from the dreadful wildfires a few years ago. If you have the time, we strongly recommend the 2-day tour to get the full story of this remarkable place.

        This firm is a two-person operation. Our guide, Kangaroo Island native Nikki Redman, was exceptional and takes you places that other tours wouldn’t go and you certainly wouldn’t find on your own. She had a phenomenal knowledge of wildlife, nature and the Island’s history. The BBQ lunches prepared were fabulous and a lot of fun. Very highly recommended.
