Eyre Peninsula
Eyre Peninsula, towards Port Lincoln provides vast rugged coast
lines and pristine beaches. Regularly migrating whales are spotted off the
coast, along with an abundance of other native wildlife.
For the adventurous at heart, there are a great number of tours and activities to enjoy, such as unforgettable sea adventures, like swimming with sea lions or cage diving with Great White Sharks.
Diving with Great White Sharks:
Tours take boats out into the bight where they burley up the boat and set bait. They have often had Great Whites around the boat before hanging the anchor, and it is particularly exhillirating when ‘Big Mumma’ arrives, an 18’ plus monster.
Once the sharks arrive, each person will have the opportunity to experience approximately 45 minutes of cage viewing face to face with the amazing Great White Shark through crystal clear water in groups of only 4 at a time in the cage.

The Eyre Peninsula is home to national parks,
ancient caves, and the Nullarbor - the vast,
treeless plain that has fascinated anyone with an explorer's spirit, ever since
the area was discovered. There's also charming seaside accommodation and mouth-watering
local seafood
.
So if you want a coastal holiday you'll never forget, travel to the Eyre Peninsula.

Lake Newland Conservation Park
Located 200 kilometres northwest of Port Lincoln, this park is a series of spring fed salt lakes separated from Anxious Bay by an extensive dune system extending to the beach. The lakes extend into a sapphire and tea tree community around the fringes with cleared grassland further inland.

Personal Comments
I went diving with the Great Whites and it was the scariest thing I have ever done! You don’t get a sense of how huge these monsters are until you are face to face with one!
I would highly recommend this for thrill seekers, it blew my mind. Make sure you have an underwater camera handy and some sea sickness tablets as it can become quite rough.
