Nature
Go on safari or dive in our seas to discover the wildlife, national parks and landscapes of the Eyre Peninsula. It's home to many endangered species and some of the most interactive wildlife experiences you could imagine - from swimming with playful sea-lions to diving with Great White Sharks.
Swim with sea-lions off the pristine waters of Baird Bay on the far west coast - it's the swim of a lifetime. You'll be amazed at how friendly and playful these creatures are. Slip into the water with them - your snorkelling equipment is supplied - and watch as they swiftly swim around you. The doe-eyed sea-lions almost seem to invite you to play.
You can stay for the day to fish for whiting and enjoy a sumptuous lunch aboard the 12-metre Investigator.
Or snorkel among giant cuttlefish off Whyalla, and watch as these chameleons of the sea quickly change colour to blend with their environment. The amazing natural phenomenon occurs from May to August - head to Whyalla to take a dive.
See Southern Right Whales cavorting in the ocean from Head of Bight, during their annual migration from May to October. Or if you're game, dive with sharks just outside of Port Lincoln. While you're protected by a shark cage, it's still a heart pumping experience!
