Alkirna means 'evening' in the tribal language of the Alyawarra people who lived north east of Alice Springs.

Venture out with a naturalist guide to experience a very different kind of 'nightlife'. The sights and sounds of Kangaroo Island after dark.

• wildlife rarely seen in daylight
• a visit to a Little Penguin Colony
• Tammar Wallabies, Brush-tailed Possums, Western Grey Kangaroos, with the possibility of other more elusive night creatures such as Boobook owls, Stone Curlews or even an Echidna
• the Southern skies. On a clear night the view through our unpolluted atmosphere is breathtaking
• the sounds of the bush at night

• an enthusiastic local guide
• a comfortable vehicle, with a maximum of 12 passengers, which will pick you up from your accommodation in American River.
• pick up from the American River General Store at a pre-determined time for those staying elsewhere

• comfortable walking shoes, as some walking is involved
• long trousers and a jacket, as the night air can be cool
• binoculars are an advantage on clear nights for star-gazing
• a camera with high speed film. Flash photography disturbs our wildlife and is therefore inappropriate

• tours operate every evening and require a minimum of two persons
• private tours can be arranged if required
• advance bookings are essential to guarantee departure of all tours
• payment to be made at time of booking
• tours will normally depart at 8.30pm
