Eyre Peninsula Tours & Vacations

Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards

From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises).

However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travelers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.

The Eyre Peninsula is a 320-kilometre promontory located between the Great Australian Bight in the west, and the Spencer Gulf in the east. It's populated by a few townships including Port Augusta, Ceduna, Port Lincoln, Whyalla and Coffin Bay.

Our Eyre Peninsula trips start in Adelaide. There are daily flights to Adelaide from most major Australian cities including Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.

From Adelaide, you can drive to Port Augusta (4 hours) where you can then take the coastal route or go inland towards the Gawler Ranges. There are also three airports located in the Eyre Peninsula region — Ceduna, Port Lincoln and Whyalla — with daily flights to/from Adelaide.

The Eyre Peninsula is a vast region. Public transport is scarce or non-existent, so it's difficult to get around if you don’t have your own transport — all the more reason to join us for a tour!

The Eyre Peninsula is a year-round destination. With diverse landscapes and weather patterns, when to visit depends on what you want to see and do. Summer (December-February) is the best time to explore the coast as the skies are clear and there's plenty of sunshine.

Winter (June-August) is a great time for wildlife as there's lots of vegetation by creeks and rivers thanks to the rains. June to September is also a fantastic time to see southern right whales off the Head of Bight as they migrate to birth and nurse their young.

Ensure you bring a comfortable pair of walking shoes or hiking boots, a pair of thongs, bathers, a sun hat, sunglasses, a daypack and clothing that you can layer up or down. You might also want to bring one or two smart casual outfits for restaurants and bars in the evening.

If you're visiting in winter, you'll need a warm, waterproof jacket and a beanie as mornings and evenings can be chilly, and it can get quite blustery along the coast.

We are committed to making travel widely accessible, regardless of ability or disability. We do our best to help you see the world, regardless of physical or mental limitations. 

We are always happy to talk to travelers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them toward the most suitable itinerary for their needs and, where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.
