Embark on an unforgettable journey through South Australia, where rich culture, stunning landscapes and world-class seafood await. From exploring Adelaide’s lush Botanic Gardens to venturing along Port Lincoln’s rugged coastline, this immersive tour offers a perfect blend of nature, history and unique local experiences.

Eyre Peninsula & Adelaide

From Adelaide’s vibrant cityscape to the rugged coastlines of the Eyre Peninsula, this journey promises a unique blend of culture, nature and culinary delights.

Adelaide, with its elegant architecture, lush parklands and thriving arts scene, offers a warm welcome to South Australia. Wander along North Terrace, home to some of the state’s most treasured cultural institutions, or step into the peaceful haven of the Adelaide Botanic Garden, where First Nations guides share stories of native plants and their traditional uses.

Venture west to the Eyre Peninsula, a coastal paradise renowned as Australia’s Seafood Capital. Here, over 2,000 kilometres of pristine coastline invite exploration, from sweeping sand dunes to rocky headlands and hidden coves. In Port Lincoln, savour the ocean’s bounty, dive into the region’s maritime heritage and witness the raw beauty of Whalers Way’s windswept cliffs.

Visit the recently approved Whalers Way Orbital Launch Complex owned and operated by Southern Launch. Covering 1600 hectares of open land and 6km of ocean frontage, the Complex provides commercial users with access to orbit flight trajectories over the Great Australian Bight, maximising spacecraft payload to orbit. The complex will also accommodate hypersonic flight testing with land-based tracking systems.

This adventure isn’t just about landscapes – it’s a celebration of connection: to the land, to the sea, and to the stories that have shaped South Australia for millennia. Whether it’s spotting wild koalas at Mikkira Station, shucking oysters in Coffin Bay, standing on a launch pad or feeling the sand beneath your feet in a remote national park, each moment is a chance to immerse yourself in the extraordinary.

Cape Carnot is a spectacular and geological significant headland where some of the oldest rocks in Australia can be seen at about 2400 million years old. Imposing coastline with dramatic sheer cliffs, rock pools, caves, beaches, local fauna and flora can all be experienced.

Travelers will be given an exclusive site visit to the recently approved Whalers Way Orbital Launch Complex owned and operated by Southern Launch. The Whalers Way Orbital Launch Complex covers over 1600Ha (almost 4000 acres) of open land with over 6km (3.72 miles) of ocean frontage and supports direct ascent to orbit flight trajectories over the Great Australian Bight, maximising spacecraft payload to orbit.

Next, you’ll make your way to the beautiful Mikkira Station, arguably one of Australia’s very best habitats where Koalas can be found in the wild and regarded as the site for some of the finest wildlife interactions in the country. Visit the restored original homestead dating back to 1842, when Scotsman Adam Borthwick and his family made their home as one of the very first settlers of the region. As you stroll through the grounds under the beautiful old Eucalypt trees, you’ll come face to face with the cuddly icon of Australia as they laze in the Manna gums. Due to the gums being stunted, your view to the resident koalas is at eye level, and you will be awed by the vastness of the resident wild population.

In addition to koalas, wild but placid kangaroos hop around and graze and emus roam amongst mobs of sheep. There is also astounding birdlife here, some of which are rare and endemic to this area.
