Our Story

Roanna & Phil

Life in nature is their life all day, everyday.

Ro & Phil are Kangaroo Island residents. They love nature, the ocean, and showing people what magic exists when we stop to look closely at our planet.

With years of experience as tour guides on Kangaroo Island and Tonga, they bring an expertise to the RAD KI tours that is beyond expectations.

They live a sustainable, quiet life giving back to the community, nursing injured wildlife and enjoying the world around them.

Building a house out of bottles in Tonga

Owning and operating Whales in the Wild, my whale swim business in Vava’u Tonga since 2012, I was looking at building accommodation for my eco concerned clients.

Securing a wonderful harbour front block of land, I went to work on how to build a house.

With an abundance of plastic and glass bottles scattered throughout the bush, waterways and roadsides, I figured there must be a way to turn them into a useful resource.

I trust the following little video will explain.

RAD KI works exclusively in a Mission Blue Hope Spot

Kangaroo Island is Australia’s third-largest island, and one of immense biological significance. A plunge beneath Kangaroo Island’s crystalline waves reveals a bursting rainbow of life – lucky divers can spot animals like striped reef fish, radiant sea stars, enigmatic jellyfish, pods of 100 dolphins and several threatened and endangered species. However, not unlike many other marine ecosystems, it faces the threat of ever-growing human interference.
