Oyster Farm Boat Tours
Whether you’ve been to Port Lincoln or not, you’ve probably seen the famous Coffin Bay Oyster Farm in these images. Grab your oysters for a boat tour at $150, explore the oyster farm, and enjoy a feast of oysters in this beautiful environment. It sounds interesting just thinking about it! Be sure not to make a mistake; there are two farms, and you must book with the one offering boat tours of the oyster farm!
Must book in advance!
Almonta Beach
This is, in my opinion, the most beautiful beach in Australia! At first glance, it’s absolutely stunning! The water is unbelievably blue, with a mint blue close to the shore and a gemstone blue in the distance – no need for filters! What you see is what you get! The best part is that there are really few people because not many know about this place. It’s a hidden treasure beach with fine, soft white sand! A must-visit – you’ll regret it if you don’t go!
Address: Coffin Bay National Park, facing Golden Island
Shark Cage Diving with Calypso Star Charters
Diving with sharks and sea lions is a must-try activity in Port Lincoln! Swimming with sharks is thrilling and exciting, providing a close encounter where you can count their teeth. There are also adorable sea lions with big, blinking eyes that will melt your heart!
Glen-Forest Tourist Park & Vineyard
A must-visit zoo in Port Lincoln! Personally, it’s the most fun zoo in South Australia, located on a large vineyard farm. There’s a wide variety of animals! Kangaroos, peacocks, ponies, miniature horses, ostriches, pigs, cows, and sheep – and the best part is that you can get up close, touch, and feed them all! You can even ride a balance bike and traverse the entire farm!
