The 3 Day Great Australian Bight whale watching tour was a great way to see this part of South Australia in a very personable lovely experience. During our tour we stayed at Shelly Beach, beach front villas with our own fantastic unobstructed beach view. Our first day consisted of a trip to Fowlers Bay where we took a whale watching boat tour where we got to see and learn about Southern Right whales, listen to hump back whales and swim with sea lions in their natural habitat. We ate wonderful Denial Bay fresh oysters and fresh caught sea urchins and fish. The second day was a road trip on the Nullarbor Plains to the Head of the Bight to see magnificent Bunda Cliffs and even more Southern Right whales. On the return journey back to the accommodation we went to the Murrawijinie secluded caves on the Nullarbor Plains and spotted wild life such as white dingo, Wedge Tailed Eagles, Emus and Kangaroos and photography of the sunset on the horizon. On our last day of the trip we visited a pristine secluded beach near Davenport Creek and went 4 Wheel driving to the highest sand dune for a 360 degree view of the landscape. The tour was very well organised and well planned, our host was very willing and able to shape the tour around our interests. He even used his local connections so that we were on the boat in Fowlers Bay during the best weather conditions of our trip. Thanks for a great trip...!

We went for the whales, and they did not disappoint, but we saw and enjoyed so much more around Ceduna and the Head of the Bight. The trip out into the Nullabor was an unexpected highlight - the caves and blowhole just amazing. Our host was a genial and knowledgeable, willing and able to cater for our interests. We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our tour and highly recommend it.
