Our Guides

Languages Spoken: German, English

The best thing about being a guide is showing off our beautiful and wonderful wildlife and Island, close and personal to our Australian and International guest from all over the world. Discovering, learning and seeing every day something new.

I'm interested in the Australian environment, animals and country.  I love travelling the world and learning about their people, culture and environments.

I don't have a favourite spot on Kangaroo Island, as each place on the Island has it's own beauty.

The best thing about being a KIO guide is being able to be out and about on the beautiful Island I love so much, searching for nature and sharing it with guests from all over the world. As a guide I'm still very excited about what might be around the next corner, our amazing nature is always surprising us

My interests outside of work is heading out and spending time in our beautiful nature, taking photos of what I see and sharing it. I love birdwatching, going out and spending time with the beautiful dolphins. Sometimes I'll get up before the sun comes up and spend time with a mob of kangaroos for half the day, love camping, fishing hiking, love our great outdoors and nature photography 

It's hard to pick my favorite place on the Island but if I had to I would say Cape du Couedic, Admirals Arch, Weirs Cove area, not only the best scenery, but we see the fur seals, sometimes dolphins, great sharks and in the season Southern Right Whales.

My favourite things about being a guide is being surrounded by nature all day and to share my passion and love for Kangaroo Island with travellers from all over the world.

In my spare time, I like going for walks in parks and on beaches, photographing the stunning fauna and flora of Kangaroo Island as well as attending music festivals around Australia.

There are too many stunning places on the Island, but I do absolutely love Stokes Bay and Chapman River.

It’s hard to explain what is so enjoyable about being a tour guide. Clients sometimes say to me, how can you do this day after day and not get bored? 

After doing this job now almost twenty years I can tell you no two days are ever the same. Different people, different animal experiences, people from all walks of life and each with their own story to tell.

My favourite spot on the Island? I don’t think I have one. Every part of the Island is beautiful on its day, but I do love the sea, and the dolphins.

I enjoy working for KI Odysseys alongside such experienced, passionate & knowledgeable guides. The best thing is being able to showcase all the wonderful flora & fauna, scenic locations & history to all our guests. I enjoy the small groups, versatile touring & viewing all in the natural environment, making every tour an adventure, as you never know what mother nature is going to provide us!

I generally love being outdoors, whether it be in my flower or veggie garden in the back yard, or going bush walking taking photos of birds, animals, landscapes, plants & flowers. Photography is a keen interest of mine. I also love the sea, fishing and snorkelling, and of course taking sea life photos.

I don’t have a particular favourite spot on KI as the entire Island is special in different ways, but I do love the coastal views you find around the whole Island.

The best part of my job is that I get to go to beautiful places and see animals in the wild.

In my free time, I love cooking for family and friends.

My favourte place to visit on the Island is the Flagstaff Hill Monument near Kingscote, which commemorates the arrival of the first European settlers in South Australia. The views from there are beautiful!

I have been with KI Odysseys since 2003 as a driver guide and sales consultant, and now head up our reservations department.

The best thing about being a Odysseys guide is showing international travellers around our little piece of paradise and the wonderment that they express viewing native animals in the wild for the first time.  Some have never experienced such wide open space or the nature and wildlife that our Island has to offer before.

My interests outside of work are camping, reading and being a volunteer Ambulance Officer.

My absolute favourite spot on Kangaroo Island is Vivonne Bay.  I want to get married there and be buried there.  Being born on the Island and growing up on a farm at the western end of the Island, as children we spent just about every weekend at Vivonne Bay.  I wish that I lived closer so that I could visit this beauty of a location more often.

For me, there are several "best things" being a Kangaroo Island Odysseys guide. The human contact with visitors and colleagues, the beautiful places, animals and flowers on Kangaroo Island, the fact that I'm always learning. I am proud to be an Odysseys guide.

I like going for strolls in the nature, reading and going to the cinema and theatre. I share my free time with my husband, family and friends.

My favourite spots on the Island are Remarkable Rocks and Admiral Arch.

The best thing about being a Kangaroo Island Odyssey guide is that I am able to share the beauty, nature, wildlife and lifestyle of our island with people from different walks of life and the experience is mutually enriching. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and respect for nature. 

I'm interested in travelling, reading and hiking. I also swim and do yoga daily as well as do gymnastics and modern dance weekly. I'm an active volunteer for Kangaroo Island Dolphin Watch and enjoy sailing my Arafura catamaran in summer.

My favourite place on the island is Emu Bay because every summer my children attend swimming and First Aid classes there. I have watched them grow in such an idyllic location.
