Wow. We looooved the tour with our amazing host, Nikki. She had such a passion for the Island, a great sense of humour, and she looked after us super well. She had so much knowledge about the flora and fauna on the island which was just fascinating, and learning about and seeing the regeneration of the environment was so interesting. Highlights were the bush lunch, the koalas, goannas and echidna we saw and loved the gin distillery. Highly recommended!

After a false start thanks to COVID-19, and a later decision to take the car and extend our stay, Serina at KI Odyssey was brilliant in getting it all sorted and booked for us - nothing was too much trouble; including my numerous change of mind. Thank you Serina for all your emails and calls to get us to KI. Our first day on KI kicked off early with Nikki keen to get going to show us her world - and what a remarkable world it is! Being her only guests we had licence to deviate from the original tour plan and visit some of Nikki's special spots South to North. Brilliant! Being avid lovers of the wilderness and natural environs, Nikki did not disappoint in showing us some very beautiful parts of her KI including the regenerating Flinders Chase bushland and spotting lots of local inhabitants . When Nikki wasn't introducing us to the next magnificent experience, she ensured we compiled a comprehensive list of many other beautiful places to visit over our extended visit - and yes, we did sort the tides to return to Stokes Bay to find the magic beach on the other side of the rocky outcrop! I cannot recommend these people enough from Serina's impeccable planning and booking to Nikki's willingness and passion to share her knowledge and experience of KI to make our trip unforgettable...including a sensational 2 course lunch with a bottle of local wine in amongst the bush! Thanks Nikki for an unforgettable big day we will recommend to friends!

My husband and I went on this tour and it was wonderful beyond belief. Nikki was our guide and she was warm, extremely knowledgable about the island’s history, the animals and the forests and other vegetation. She took us all over the island and showed us in detail all the ways the land was coming back. She made time for us to see the Parndarna Community Garden established after the fires to let locals grow food for themselves, which was on our wish list. But the island and her passion for nature and her kindness were the real highlights. Even when the cancellation of the late ferry meant cutting an hour or so off the tour, she still showed us all kinds of wonders. We saw lots of koalas up close, an abundance of the KI kangaroos (so cute), cape barren geese, honey eaters and other birds, fur seals up close (which was so exciting), wallabies, and the best of all an echidna train (which is rare to see and so so special). The female echidna leaves a scent trail and all the males follow her around for up to 50 days until she decides to mate. This is real boasting material! Nikki has inspired us to come back and spend a week on the Island next holiday because we saw or heard from her about all the things to do and places together see more of. Not to mention seeing more of Nikki. The Mercury was a good place to stay, right on the Bay, and the food is really excellent. I cannot recommend this tour enough - or any tour Nikki leads. Go see it all on Kangaroo Island.

The Road to Recovery Tour was outstanding. Our guide Nikki, was a local with a deep knowledge of the island and its geology, ecology, biology and geography. She was enthusiastic, kind, thoughtful and a perfect guide to the wonders of the island and the way it is recovering from the catastrophic bushfires . We had a wonderful day. Highly recommended.

We had an amazing day out with Nikki as our tour guide. She was able to organise a day to encompass exactly what we were looking for. We are both avid photographers and she took us to some of the best places on the island to take photos. We had a dream day, and she even organised perfect weather for us. Her knowledge and passion for Kangaroo Island, her home, were obvious from the moment that she met us. The tour took in the highlights of Kangaroo Island, using a 4WD therefore accessing roads that we would have hesitated going down in my car. The food that was provided was plentiful and absolutely delicious. All aspects of organising this tour, from booking through to the completion of the tour was professional. If you have limited time on Kangaroo Island and want to see as much as possible, with a local, knowledgeable driver, then you definitely need to do this tour!

What an incredible experience. I felt privileged to be in Nikki's company for the day. She is not only knowledgeable on many topics and passionate in her love of the island and its inhabitants but also possesses the qualities of compassion, humility and patience. She has excellent driving skills and makes great use of time. It was a day to remember.

Kangaroo Island Odyssey Adventures organised our bespoke tour wth Nikki Redman. Professional, considerate and kind, Nikki ensured our day unfolded easily. We were out for a full day but time flew as we covered the island and absorbed Nikki’s knowledge of wildlife, flora and fire ecology. We have visited the island before but nothing compares to a professional local sharing her island, pointing out the koalas, goannas, seals, birds, etc and her knowledge of her pristine home. Australians, this is a tour for us as much as for any overseas visitor. Witness the microscopic growth and wonder at the majestic Remarkable Rocks, through the eyes, heart and lens of Nikki. It was an unforgettable day.

Congratulations to Nikki and Kangaroo Island Odysseys on bringing to life an exceptional tour. A day like no other, let Nikki show you her KI. Filled with stories, facts, love and spectacular scenery and wildlife, this is one for your travel bucket list now. The pretty chocolate brown kangaroos, the koala joeys, the playful seals, the stunning beaches..... Nikki's surname could well be Attenborough for the depth of her knowledge, her generous spirit and stories that will melt your heart. To see the aftermath of the summer fires and witness the rebirth of so much beautiful land, is a tonic for the soul. It is a day that will stay with you long after you leave. Thank you for sharing your stories and this incredible island. Book it now!
