SponsoredSpencer Gulf Adventures
Whyalla
Spencer Gulf Adventures has been running marine wildlife tours out of Whyalla for over 25 years, and there's a reason they're the region's most awarded operator. They know this water, and they know what lives in it. The headline experience is the Giant Australian Cuttlefish aggregation at Point Lowly Lighthouse. Every winter between May and August, thousands of these extraordinary creatures gather in the shallows in one of the most remarkable wildlife events on the planet. Spencer Gulf Adventures puts you directly above them on a glass-bottom boat, close enough to watch the colour displays, the courtship, and the sheer spectacle of it. All encounters are conducted legally and respectfully under a wildlife permit that very few operators hold. Year-round, the team runs dolphin and seal tours and harbour cruises through the Spencer Gulf. Whyalla's dolphins are permanent residents of the marina, and the permit allows encounters that most wildlife tours simply cannot offer. If you're visiting the Eyre Peninsula and you do one thing on the water, this is it. Seasons: Cuttlefish tours May to August. Dolphin, seal and harbour cruises year-round. Based in: Whyalla Marina
