Discover the breathtaking undiscovered coastline of the Lower Eyre Peninsula

David Doudle - better known as ‘Lunch’ - has a contagious passion for exploring, and his home is the breathtaking undiscovered coastline of the Lower Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. Lunch, a third generation local farmer who has spent 30 years living the perfect Australian lifestyle, guarantees that his guests will encounter the true Australia, at its very best.

Tours, which can be customised to suit guests’ interests and time frames, focus on the incredible rich marine life which inhabit this part of the coast of Australia. You will have the opportunity to swim with sea lions, tuna, dolphins and great white sharks (from a cage!) - on no other tour or safari in the world can you interact with such a range of marine life.  You will travel the jagged coastlines, stopping at pristine beaches for lunch and exploring the untamed national parks. Days generally end with a beautiful soft pink sunset dancing on the superb open landscape.

Dinners are a sumptuous affair, consisting of the best local seafood and a variety of deep water fish complemented with a fusion of the region’s best wines, at a setting in the open under the stars or on a wild beach with a campfire alight.

Accommodation is provided in comfortable guest houses - or if you prefer, opt for the famous Aussie swag and camp on the beach under the stars. You will travel in Lunch’s comfortable 4WD vehicle.

Suggested Itinerary

Day 1

In Port Lincoln, board the Calypso Star for the short journey to a farmed tuna cage to swim with, feed and photograph Southern Blue Fin Tuna. You will then travel to the Glen Forest Park, home to a variety of native Australian animals. Settle into your waterfront apartment in Coffin Bay as an array of the freshest and most succulent local seafood is prepared for you. Enjoy award-winning local wines whilst watching the sun set behind the pristine waters of the bay.

Day 2

Coffin Bay National Park offers a diverse range of experiences - try sand boarding on some of the towering sand dunes or swimming and snorkelling to explore the ocean beds of these calm and safe waters. 4WD through the park to view the spectacular landscapes - the massive limestone cliffs are an important breeding ground for sea birds. Kayak around these stunning waterways and see the friendly dolphins bobbing up in front of you or drop a line and catch King George Whiting, Tommy Ruff, Salmon Trout and other local species.

Day 3

Enjoy uninterrupted views of the spectacular and rugged clifftops of the Great Australian Bight, pristine white sand beaches and crystal clear blue waters with spectacular dunes as backdrops. Your accommodation is set right on the beach in architecturally designed lodges of rammed earth construction to blend with the natural bush and beach environment. Wine and dine in style again as the sun sets over Point Labatt Conversation Park.

Day 4

Join Alan and Trish Payne of Baird Bay Ocean Eco Experiences today for a truly unforgettable ocean experience! From their boat, The Investigator, you will swim with the friendly sea lions off Jones Island. This evening, sit back and relax as you enjoy dinner gazing out over the Bay.
