About
Spencer Gulf Adventures offers immersive marine wildlife experiences on the waters of the Spencer Gulf, based in Whyalla on South Australia's Eyre Peninsula.
Specialising in glass-bottom boat tours, Spencer Gulf Adventures provides a unique way to view the region's underwater environment without the need to dive. Guests can observe marine life through the glass viewing panels while enjoying a relaxed and guided experience on the water.
Tours regularly feature encounters with local marine wildlife, including dolphins that frequent the Whyalla marina and surrounding coastline. During the cooler months, seasonal tours operate near Point Lowly, where visitors can witness the world-famous giant cuttlefish aggregation from the comfort of the boat.
Experiences are suitable for families, non-swimmers, photographers, and visitors of all ages who want to explore the marine environment in a safe and accessible way. With a strong local focus, Spencer Gulf Adventures showcases the natural highlights of the Spencer Gulf while offering an informative and memorable on-water experience.
The Freedom Explorer is a catamaran style boat that offers the best stability on the water.
