TOURING THE PENINSULA

The Eyre Peninsula is a big place, and we understand if you'd prefer to have a knowledgeable guide show you around — and you're spoilt for choice when it comes to experienced local operators. 

Take your pick between all-encompassing, up-market journeys like those offered by Australian Coastal Safaris, Gawler Ranges Wilderness Safaris and Baird Bay Experience — think immersive outback and coastal adventures, luxury (and eco-friendly) safari tents or beachfront villas, and unforgettable wildlife encounters with sea lions and dolphins — or opt for day trips with the likes of Untamed Escapes, Tour South, Coffin Bay Tours and Yarnbala, showcasing the very best of the region.

For deeper cultural insight, Ancient Land Tours offers meaningful experiences connecting you with Country and culture, while on the water you can cruise with EP Cruises, join oyster experiences with operators such as Experience Coffin Bay, Coffin Bay Oyster Farm Tours and the Oyster Deck Experience at Smoky Bay, or cast a line with GT Fishing Charters and Southern Eyre Fishing Charters.

 Up around Whyalla, Cutty's Tours, Why Dive and Spencer Gulf Adventures offer guided experiences to witness the incredible Giant Cuttlefish.

For offshore thrills, head out with Calypso Star Charters and Rodney Fox Shark Expeditions for unforgettable shark cage diving adventures.

Scenic flights with Chinta Air provide a breathtaking perspective from above, and you can't forget Maralinga — a truly unique Australian experience that shares an important and sobering chapter of South Australia's history. With so much on offer, it's best to book ahead to avoid missing out.
