Sea Lion & Dolphin Tour: SIGHTSEEING with Lunch included

From AUD $300.00
  • Duration: 4 Hours (approx.)
  • Location: Baird Bay, SA
  • Product code: PCJYW1

Journey across Baird Bay to encounter wild Sea Lions and Dolphins from above the water, not to mention breathtaking birdlife and surrounding scenery. 

Experiencing the Sea Lions and Dolphins in Baird Bay is a must-do activity when visiting the Eyre Peninsula. This interactive wildlife tour is safe, fun and a truly unique experience.

We take a small boat to Jones Island to see the Sea Lions (nicknamed 'puppies of the sea'), playing in their natural habitat. We find a safe spot to moor, so you view these amazing animals from the boat, as other guests jump in to swim with them. We then navigate to the other side of the Bay, where wild Dolphins play and welcome visitors with curiosity... and often, charisma.

Importantly, we do not feed/touch the Sea Lions or Dolphins - instead we meet them respectfully on their terms, in their habitat.

Our lunches consist of a simple but delicious two course daily menu, inspired by what is in season and available locally.  Being on the Eyre Peninsular, we love to cook seafood from our trusted suppliers, but we cater to all dietary requirements so please provide details on your booking.

Example menus (these change daily, just a sample here):

Panfried King George whiting with seaweed & ginger butter, tomatoes, capers & hand cut chips, then a dessert of Classic creme caramel with wattleseed & strawberries.

Streaky Bay lamb chops with chopped salad & tzatziki followed by mango & white chocolate pavlova.
