Eyre Peninsula Whale & Seafood Discovery 2025

Please check your required arrival time with the office before booking your flights.

Today you will be greeted by our friendly and professional Tour Directors. After landing at Adelaide Airport, please collect your baggage and make your way to the café located at the bottom of the escalator in the baggage hall. One of your Tour Directors will meet you there at 11:00am. We then depart Adelaide and head north to the Clare Valley, one of South Australia’s most prosperous wine regions, where we overnight at the Clare Country Club. Meals: L.D

This morning we travel down the eastern side of the Eyre Peninsula. Our first stop is Whyalla, where we’ll visit the excellent Whyalla Maritime Museum. We continue heading south through Cowell and Tumby Bay before arriving at the seaside town of Port Lincoln late afternoon. We check-in to the Port Lincoln Hotel for our stay over the next three nights. Meals: B.L.D

Port Lincoln is a town of approximately 12,000 people and was originally considered a site for the state’s capital. The township is located on the banks of beautiful Boston Bay which is three and a half times the size of Sydney Harbour. The town is the base for Australia’s largest tuna fleet and tuna farming industry. Tuna fishing has been extremely lucrative in recent years and has created some very wealthy people. In fact, there are more millionaires per capita in Port Lincoln than anywhere else in Australia!

This morning we’ll enjoy an interpretive tour around the Port Lincoln Marina with a local guide. Then, take a behind the scenes look at the fishing industry with a Seafood Lovers tour at the Fresh Fish Place. After a gourmet seafood lunch (alternative meals available) the rest of the afternoon can be spent at your leisure. Enjoy some time in the town centre, or visit some of the local galleries. Meals: B.L.D

This morning we have an early breakfast and depart Ceduna for the Head of Bight. Every year thousands of people visit the Head of Bight area for breathtaking views of migrating southern right whales. This area is considered one of the best viewing areas in the world with up to 100 whales congregating in the seas adjacent to the Bunda Cliffs at any one time. A large viewing platform offers people safety from the cliffs but also fantastic views.
This afternoon we visit an interpretive centre operated by the Conservation and Land Management Department. Then, head off on an included Scenic Flight over the spectacular coastline, keeping an eye out for migrating whales. Our aircraft for the day is a Cessna Grand Caravan, with high wing, air-conditioning and turbine reliability. The scenic flight will take us all the way back to Ceduna, saving a long drive back from Head of Bight! Tonight, we enjoy our final evening together at the Foreshore Hotel. Meals: B.L.D
Note: Today the tour will split into two groups, with a morning flight and afternoon flight. One group will drive out to Head of Bight and fly back, and the other will fly out to Head of Bight and drive back. Please note that weight limits apply to all scenic flights.
