KIOA’s Multi-Terrain Program Confirmed Open as Kangaroo Island Holidays Begin

VIVONNE BAY, South Australia, June 23, 2026 — Kangaroo Island Outdoor Action, the guided adventure tour operator at Vivonne Bay and a 2021 TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best recipient, has confirmed its full-day multi-terrain program is open for bookings as Victorian school holidays begin on 26 June and South Australian and New South Wales holiday windows open across early and mid-July. The program combines guided quad bike tours across 500 acres of private trails with self-guided kayaking on the Harriet River and sandboarding at nearby Little Sahara, covering contrasting terrain types from a single Vivonne Bay base.

“The idea is to cover as many different terrains as possible in one day without rushing any of them,” said Brenton Davis, Director, Kangaroo Island Outdoor Action. “Grassland, bush, coast, river, dunes. Each one changes the pace and the perspective. For families with mixed ages and energy levels, that variety means everyone finds something that suits them across the day.”

The program is structured to move through higher-energy activities in the morning and quieter formats in the afternoon, with each activity format independently bookable or combined through one of the operator’s multi-activity packages.

Guided Quad Tours Across Bush, Coast, and Farmland

The flagship experience is the Edge of the Earth Quad Adventure, a 170-minute guided ride from $347 per rider that progresses from open grassland through native bush tracks, sandy berms, and farmland before reaching remote Southern Ocean coastline near Cape Kersaint. The route finishes at a secluded surf beach with stops for coastal views and wildlife observation. A shorter All Terrain option covers varied track surfaces across the private property for visitors with less time.

All riders complete a full safety briefing and supervised practice laps before departing. Helmets, goggles, gloves, and wet-weather gear are provided. The rider fleet includes Honda, Yamaha, and Suzuki machines across more than 30 quads, with a passenger option available on all tours. The minimum rider age for the Edge of the Earth tour is 10 years. Wildlife encounters are a regular feature, with kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas, Hooded Plovers, and White-bellied Sea Eagles frequently observed along the coastal route.

River Kayaking and Sandboarding Complete the Full-Day Format

Kayaking on the Harriet River offers a quieter midday option on calm water behind Vivonne Bay. Single and double kayaks are available for self-guided sessions suited to all fitness levels and first-time paddlers, with birdlife along the river banks a consistent highlight.

Multi-activity packages pair quad touring with kayaking and sandboarding at Little Sahara for a structured full-day itinerary covering trails, water, and dunes. Package formats include the Family Adventure Package, the Couples Extreme Pack, the All Terrain Action Pack, and the Winter Family Pack, each combining different activity volumes and durations to suit group size and schedule.

KIOA holds Climate Action Leader certification and 100% carbon neutral status through Ecotourism Australia, alongside Advanced Eco Certification and accreditation from the South Australian Tourism Commission. The operator has received TripAdvisor Certificates of Excellence for ten consecutive years and gold medals at the South Australian Tourism Awards in 2013 and 2014.
