About this tour
Pilot your own quad bike across Kangaroo Island's backcountry—grasslands, scrub and rocky outcrops that sit beyond regular roads. Choose a relaxed 2-hour spin or the grittier 170-minute Edge of the Earth route, which tackles tougher terrain and unveils Southern Ocean vistas. Your guide steers you through safe lines regardless of riding background, and children from age 6 can take the controls.
Highlights
- Ride your own ATV across native bush and open grassland
- Edge of the Earth tour features demanding tracks with ocean views
- Suitable for first-time riders and experienced pilots
- Kids aged 6+ welcome to drive; 4+ can ride as passengers
- All safety gear and equipment provided
What to expect
You'll receive a safety briefing, then head out in a small group with your guide leading the way. The standard tour meanders through accessible terrain at a steady pace, letting you find your rhythm on the bike. The Edge of the Earth option ramps up the challenge—steeper grades, tighter switchbacks, muddier sections—building to that final ridge with Southern Ocean spread below. Either way, expect dust, wind, and the smell of inland vegetation. Stops happen for photos and brief rest.
Good to know

Not suitable if you have serious heart or lung issues. Children under 18 need a parent or guardian aged 18+ present.
