Day 2: Adelaide to Port Lincoln
A transfer will whisk you away from your Adelaide accommodation to the airport for your short 45-minute flight to Port Lincoln. Your expert local guide awaits your arrival, coffee at the ready.
After a town tour to get your bearings, join a local legend out on the water aboard the ‘Tesla’, a unique electric canal cruiser. Cruise Port Lincoln’s marina and learn about the Eyre Peninsula’s enviable seafood industry, surrounded by Australia’s largest commercial fishing fleet.
The best Port Lincoln tours are fuelled by seafood, and today is no exception. Lunch is courtesy of local favourite, the iconic Fresh Fish Place, where you can sample the Eyre Peninsula’s seafood bounty, including oysters, scallops, crayfish, crab and fish. Head behind the scenes for a private Factory Tour and more tastings.
Winding further along the coast, we’ll make our way to Lincoln National Park. Kick off your shoes and walk along the beach while your Guide lets down the tyres in preparation for a 4WD adventure through the dunes. Set to the soundtrack of the bush and waves lapping on the shores below, take a moment of repose immersed in nature.
Next, it’s time to check in to luxury at your secluded villa at award-winning eco-lodge Tanonga. This exclusive, intimate, and architecturally designed villa boasts magnificent views and absolute style and comfort.

After enjoying a delicious breakfast hamper in your villa, head down the coast to taste world-famous Coffin Bay oysters.

Back on land, enjoy lunch at Oyster HQ as you soak up the views of the Bay. Then, visit Coffin Bay National Park, home to a swathe of the Eyre Peninsula’s best beaches, including Almonta Beach.
