  1. Day 1 Port Lincoln

    You will be picked up from the Port Lincoln Visitor Information Centre at 9.30 am. Once everyone is on board we’ll start our day heading to Lincoln National Park, which features some of the most scenic coastlines in South Australia. We’ll visit Wanna for great views over Sleaford Bay where we’ll hopefully spot abundant native birdlife including ospreys, wedge-tailed eagles and colourful rock parrots along the clifftop. Keep an eye on the water below as in the winter months you may even be lucky enough to spot some whales.

    Next, we’ll head to Stamford Hill picnic ground on the other side of the park for beautiful views across the harbour followed by a stroll along Surfleet Beach. After morning tea we’ll travel to Fisheries Bay and onto a 14 km scenic coastal drive along Whalers Way to see breathtaking coastline and some of the oldest rocks in Australia. You’ll be spotting abundant native Australian wildlife such as emus and kangaroos in the sanctuary area so have your camera ready.

    If you love wildlife then the next stop will be a highlight, meeting the very friendly koalas at Mikkira Station. It’s the only wild koala colony on the Eyre Peninsula and you’ll be able to take that perfect photo as they eat the leaves of the many Manna Gum trees.

    Lunch will be delicious fresh seafood at the award-winning Fresh Fish Place followed by a stroll around Port Lincoln Marina and foreshore looking at the extraordinary range of both commercial and private fishing vessels. We’ll jump back on the bus to Billy Lights Point for a different aspect of the harbour and make our way to Boston Bay Winery for produce tastings and picture-perfect views over Boston Bay.

    At Glen Forest Tourist Park, you’ll have the opportunity to come up close and personal to kangaroos, parrots and other wildlife and taste some local wines. Finish the tour on top of the world at Winters Hill lookout and after a fantastic day, we will drop you back at the wharf in time for your scheduled cruise ship departure.
