Highly recommended - We thoroughly enjoyed our 4wd half day tour with Ben. He had so much knowledge to share about the region and was obviously committed to ensuring that we had a good time. The only thing we would change is that next time we will do a full day tour!

Ben was amazing! Tour was too good! - We had Ben as a tour guide to take us on a 4 wheel drive up on the sand dunes. He was so informative, so helpful and so nice. We had an amazing time sand boarding. Ben was patient, and took some amazing photography. He had so much information to offer. I would do this tour again if I could, the views were exceptional. 10/10 service from Ben!

The best tour our family has ever done - Our family of five did the half day tour of Coffin Bay National Park with Ben and it was the highlight of our trip to South Australia. Ben is a fantastic tour guide with incredible knowledge of the coastline, wildlife and off-road driving. We really enjoyed driving on the beach and surfing down the sand dunes. We saw an emu and a kangaroo in the dunes which was amazing. Ben took photos of us throughout the tour and sent them to us afterwards, they were professional quality and it was so lovely to have photos of us as a family. An incredible tour and memories for life. Thank you so much Ben.

Coffin Bay 4WD tour- half day. - It was fantastic. Ben, the tour operator, picked us up from our accommodation at the time he stated. His 4WD vehicle was comfortable, fitted with good equipment including a satellite phone, a first aid kit and an AED. He was extremely knowledgeable about Port Lincoln and the industries situated in the town. The drive to Coffin Bay was on bitumen, then we went to secluded bays, where we stopped for morning tea. Then the tyres were let down and we drove over the amazing sand dunes to the beach, where we were the only people. Ben is a very good driver and we felt completely safe. I would recommend this experience wholeheartedly. Thanks, Ben, for a terrific time.

Fun informative adventure! - Ben was our guide and he was wonderful! He is very passionate and knowledgeable! The off-road vehicle was fully equipped for the tour. We had oysters out of a vending machine, saw kangaroos and emus and had a fun time 4x4 on the dunes. My son lives in Port Lincoln on a working holiday visa and I came to visit him treating us to this tour and we both have previous off road experience in Canada but we both really enjoyed this 1/2 day tour. Highly recommend! He even served us hot coffee and tea by the sea! Thanks Ben! Cheers!

fanatstic and well worth it - We took the half day with Ben. He was extremely knowledgeable and a font of information about Coffin Bay NP and the Eyre Peninsula in general. We took up his advice later in the day to get beer in Port Lincoln. He was respectful of the environment and we felt secure in his care. The fact that he is the local SES instructor for 4wding was an added bonus.

Great fun exploring the Sand Dunes with Ben at Tour South - Ben provides an outstanding service from the moment he meets and greets you. His passion for his job is very evident as he explains the beauty of the Eyre Peninsula. We had a great time and loved the 4wd adventure through the sand dunes. We would highly recommend Tour South
