Swim with the Giant Cuttlefish - 2 Days

Departing from Adelaide, witness the change of scenery as you leave the city behind and travel through a landscape of fields and quaint country towns. Along the way we will also take a few quick pit stops including the well-known pink salt lake at Lochiel.

Next up, and in time for lunch, we arrive at Alligator Gorge, one of the most popular and scenic walking trails in Mount Remarkable National Park. Here you will relax over lunch and have plenty of time to explore Alligator Gorge’s beautiful trails, rugged cliffs and amazing natural landscapes.

Then, it’s back on the bus to travel to the home of the Giant Cuttlefish, Whyalla. After dropping your bags in your room, enjoy some well-deserved free time; explore the town, say hello to the renowned local dolphins, walk along the beach or simply relax at the hotel. After sunset, sit down to indulge in a delicious dinner and learn about the Giant Cuttlefish changing colours, patterns and shape in a fun & informative presentation session from our marine expert.

After waking to enjoy breakfast, you’ll soon be on the bus to start your morning Giant Cuttlefish adventures! On arrival at Stony Point, the best spot in Whyalla to see the Giant Cuttlefish, you will get fitted out with wetsuits and snorkelling gear and receive a full experience and safety briefing prior to entering the water with your marine expert and snorkelling guides.

Swimming just a few metres from shore, you’ll start to encounter these unique and wonderful creatures in their natural environment. Observe their graceful gliding among the rocks and sea plants as you witness their changing shapes and colours. Back on shore, you’ll change into warm clothes and enjoy a hot drink while reflecting on your amazing Cuttlefish experience.

Next up is a short drive to the incredible Australian Arid Lands Botanic Garden where a light lunch featuring local produces awaits. Be sure to take time and stroll around the Bush Food Garden where you will discover some of the medicinal and food plants that have been used by the Aboriginal people for thousands of years. From here its back to Adelaide via the rolling countryside of the beautiful Clare Valley wine region.
