What you'll do
Depart our office at 8:00am. From here we cruise along the edge of the Port Lincoln National Park to Hopkins Island located 1.5 hours from shore. We serve a selection of fresh fruit, muffins and a choice of tea, coffee and hot chocolate on the way. Many of our trips out to the Hopkins will sight pods of dolphins and white bellied sea eagles nesting in the National Park. On the way home you are served a toasted sandwich and offered refreshments. We moor the vessel in approximately 3 metres of water inside a sheltered cove off the back of a beach where the colony of Sea Lions live. Once our crew have been through the safety briefing and fitted you out in a full wetsuit, mask, snorkel and flippers you are ready to join the playful Sea Lions in the water. We are lucky to be able to guarantee interaction on this tour, as the Sea Lions love to join us in the water on every trip! You will spend just over an hour in the water, before jumping back on the boat for a warm shower. The trip returns at 12:30pm with you feeling overjoyed by this unique experience. You then have the opportunity to purchase merchandise both on board or in store.

This is my wife and my business and this is what we love, located in an area where we want our kids to grow up. Over the past 15 years we have explored every inch of of this backyard and have no hesitation in shouting from the roof tops how good this is. We have won multiple tourism awards and three hall of fame awards for 3 consecutive years in a given category. We have passionate, knowledgeable staff who have become some of our greatest assets and through innovation and an eye for detail we have created one of the most interactive wildlife experiences in Australia.

The tour is conducted on board our vessel "Shark Warrior". We conduct our Sea Lion experience at the Hopkins or Langton Island which is located 1.5 hours by boat from Port Lincoln.
Amazing experience, something you need to do at least once in your life. And particularly loved the way they increased awareness about the animals. We can feel that’s not a tourist trap but only passion sharing. Awesome, recommend to everyone.
