Embarking from Wirrina Cove Marina (October - April), sail towards the south following the breathtaking Fleurieu Peninsula shoreline, where the awe-inspiring cliffs, headlands, bays and crystal-clear blues of the St Vincent Gulf await. Reminisce in the remarkable aquatic view as we cross paths with Second Valley, Rapid Bay & Cap Sevinge.

On our passage past Rapid Bay, you’ll encounter the jetties & quarry, and have an opportunity to witness the Fur Seal Colony and some relaxing Seal Lions around Rapid Head. Be on the look-out for the majestic White Bellied Sea Eagles flying over the prodigious cliffs and get a glimpse at the large-scale wind turbines of the Starfish Hill Wind Farm before we sail back up along the shore to our starting point at Wirrina Cove.

A bit of the Italian coast in South Australia - A really great trip, seeing parts of the coast only accessible from the water. Crystal clear water, caves and secret beaches, and the occasional seal/sealion. Great crew and really interesting tour, and great value. Thanks Captain Kirk!

Amazing experience - What a beautiful experience. The weather was perfect and the tour guides were both amazing and knowledgeable. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking especially the most “instagrammable” beach. The doughnuts on the way back was so much fun!

Escape to the ocean side - The tour was absolutely amazing! The boat was incredibly comfortable with a friendly and knowledgeable crew. We saw amazing coastline with cliffs, beach inlets with crystal clear water and caves along with observing seals in their natural habitat and a very friendly dolphin that swam up to the boat. I would highly recommend this trip if you were visiting the area.

Boating fun day out -round trip from Victor Harbor - This boat tour is exceptional value for money and a great time out in the bay. Kind friendly hosts and comfy boat ride. The boat is fast and bounces on the waves. It’s more fun than thrilling but just enough splash and crash to give your tummy a sense of rush! Overhead cover from sun or rain is great. No water splashed on us at all in front rows. Has seat belts and space to store a backpack under your feet if you need. Wear clothing to shield from winds such as beanie and long sleeves even on a warm day in low 20s. They offer poncho if you find yourself too cold. Toilet at waiting area and car parking no problems. We saw various seals, birds and a friendly dolphin met us at the last minute close to shore on return. Leaving point is around 45mins from Victor Harbor and is a sweet drive to get there. Recommend places to eat at nearby Normanville such as a few different cafes or extensive bakery there. Value for money for sure!!

Rained right until the end! - Awesome experience to go out on the boat with the duo from The Big Duck Boat Tours! Despite the pouring rain, we sat right at the front! Caught sight of some beautiful seal pups and a Sea Lion. Absolutely fantastic landscape! Would highly recommend if you're in Adelaide :)

Highly recommended - This tour is a little gem. Reasonably priced and the perfect length (1 hour). The boat was very comfortable, and we were blessed with a perfect Easter Day. The ride out (south) from the marina is the informative part of the trip, with skipper Andrew stopping at several points of interest along the way - caves, hidden beaches, old jetties, and of course seals and sea-lions. The trip back is an exhilarating high-speed ride. The view of the cliffs from the sea, coupled with the turquoise sea, is spectacular.

Good fun! - We had our Victor Harbor cruise cancelled due to weather (completely understandable) and so were told we could do this one from Wirrina. The road from Victor to Wirrina was not good so do not think you can just duck across from one to the other. That said once we were there and away - this cruise was a heap of fun. Lots of really interesting tales of history, geology and zoology, some great wildlife and then a thrilling high speed ride home
