MEET THE TEAM

Brenton Davis

Director

Growing up on a farm near the western end of Kangaroo Island, I was first involved in tourism on Kangaroo Island as a Scuba Dive Master in 1991. Now actively involved in the tourism industry as a business owner and Tourism Kangaroo Island board member, I am committed to the growth of sustainable tourism on Kangaroo Island.

Sophie

Manager

Combining her passions of travel and sustainability, Sophie completed her degree in Adventure Ecotourism in 2013. She has been on the move ever since, working seasonally throughout Australia and travelling overseas. Kangaroo Island’s stunning landscapes and abundant wildlife has managed to capture Sophie for her longest stint yet. She loves that her job here on the island allows her to give people an exciting adventure at the same time as fostering their appreciation for nature and the environment.

Lauren

Tour Guide

Wild places and adventure – they’re what most compel Lauren to wander our incredible planet. From icy hikes through Patagonia, freshwater swims exploring the gorges of the Kimberly, and rocky bike packing amongst the Flinders Ranges – if it’s outdoors, she’s there. Lauren is happiest playing in nature and can’t wait to share her curiosity and wonderment of all things Kangaroo Island with you!

Talia

Tour Guide

Talia’s passion for the outdoors has seen her in various places around the world for the last few years. Upon returning home to South Australia, she decided that joining our team was a great opportunity for her to combine adventure with her love for seeing people having fun in the outdoors. As a country girl herself, she is relishing the experience of living on and exploring our beautiful Island.

Jimmi

Jimmi is Brenton’s oldest niece and attends school in Parndana. Growing up on Kangaroo Island, Jimmi is happy to be able to share her passion for the island with our guests. She is an ocean lover, spending her summers adventuring at the beach!

Dani D

Growing up in the sticks of regional South Australia, exploring the outdoors has always been Dani’s favourite thing to do. She has studied and taught people about the environment from the tropical Australian north to the south Australian beaches, rivers and conservation parks. Dani is a talented sportswoman and avid hiker, who earlier this year hiked the whole Heysen Trail (https://www.danidutschke.com.au/). Now she’s loving the Kangaroo Islander life sharing how incredible nature and being outdoors is.

Dani L

Tour Guide

Dani’s love for being active and exploring the outdoors has seen her travel to many parts of the globe and after completing a degree in environmental policy and management in Adelaide she decided to mix her two passions and start a career here with us here in eco-tourism! She loves meeting new people and being able to share knowledge about how we can minimize our impact on the environment while still enjoying what is has to offer.

James

Tour Guide / Fatbike Maintenance

James is an adventure nut who loves the outdoors, he’s an avid traveller who has surfed, hiked, biked and snorkelled across Australia. His passion for the environment and sharing his knowledge about it attracted him to Kangaroo Island. Hopefully, you’re just as excited as he is to enjoy all the beauty and wildlife viewing that Kangaroo Island has to offer!

Hannah

Adventure Assistant

Hannah made the sea change to Kangaroo Island a few years ago and has not looked back! She appreciates the natural beauty and simple life the island offers. Chatting to the variety of people we have come through and hearing their squeals of enjoyment as they slide down the huge dunes is what she loves about her job here at Little Sahara. While on KI, you might also encounter her friendly face welcoming you to Island Beehive!

Charlie

Tour Guide

Charlie spent his teenage years travelling the world kayaking on some of the world’s best lakes and rivers. After settling back into life in South Australia he has spent the last three years leading school groups on kayaking, hiking, and climbing adventures all across the state. His passion lies in all things nature and the opportunity to share KI’s uniquely beautiful landscape and animals with others was too good to pass up. Living right on Vivonne Bay’s white sands and blue waters makes home feel like a holiday!
