Cross the Nullarbor Adelaide to Perth 10 day Wilderness Tour
This 10 day, 4,000km bucket list journey across the Southern coastline of Australia will leave you breathless, fascinated and connected with nature in a way you could not have imagined. Expect to be wowed by the mouth-watering seafood and incredible coastline of the Eyre Peninsula. Feel the vastness of this great land as you travel across the mighty Nullarbor and stand on the ‘Edge of Australia’ at the Head of Bight. Walk the footprint free white sandy beaches of Esperance, taste your way around Margaret River and explore the ancient forests of the South West of Western Australia.
Nature lovers will be thrilled by wildlife encounters such as swimming with wild sea lions and dolphins or coming face to face with a great white shark. At the end of each day, sit back and relax over a tantalising meal of local produce and matching wine.
While everything on this tour is included in the price, there are three optional extra experiences on this tour. These are very popular activities and we highly recommend securing your place at time of booking. Weather can play an important part in the operations of these tours and occasionally a tour may be cancelled which is beyond our control. If that is the case, you will be provided a full refund.
Swim with sea lions and dolphins (A$220pp) This is an amazing experience and a highlight of the tour. The interaction that you will have with the sea lions and dolphins at the beautiful and sheltered Baird Bay on the Eyre Peninsula will leave you breathless. Board the 14-seater boat for a short ride to our first stop, where you’ll swim with sea lions. This takes place in approximately two metres of water. It is a natural experience and the sea lions come into the sheltered lagoon to interact with us. After this, head further out into the bay to swim with the majestic bottlenose dolphins. This happens in four metres of water but is still within the sheltered bay. The tour is 3-4 hours and a wetsuit and snorkel equipment are included.
Great White Shark Experiences in Port Lincoln Adventure Bay Charters - From A$561pp This is Australia’s first Advanced Eco-certified White Shark Tour. Sustainable and responsible, Adventure Bay Charters use rock music to attract the sharks, which also makes for a great vibe on the boat for your tour. They also have the only Aqua Sub, dry glass viewing platform with 360- degree views of the Great Whites in their natural habitat. This allows you to come face to face with the sharks and the cage divers whilst staying dry! If you are feeling brave you can upgrade on the day to have the ultimate thrill of plunging into the Southern Ocean with the sharks, from within the safety of the cage. This full day tour to the Neptune Islands departs at 6.30am and returns at 6.30pm. It includes all equipment, breakfast, morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea. You also receive a selection of free images which they will email to you within a couple of days
