(Port Lincoln SA) Tell me more: If swimming with sharks is not on your bucket list, it’s about time you added it. This full day tour takes you from Port Lincoln to Shark Bay and on to Neptune Island, and right into the backyard of the sea’s most misunderstood creature. What sets this eco-shark dive tour apart from the others is the use of environmentally friendly sound vibrations instead of berley to attract the sharks. The crew blast music out into the deep and, trust us, it works an absolute treat. Believe it or not, the great white’s favourite songs seem to come from the discography of AC/DC! You can choose to view the sharks from the safety of the boat above the water, or if you’re feeling more adventurous you can be lowered into the churning sea in a cage and experience the full adrenaline rush of seeing the majestic beasts swimming right in front of your eyes. Either way you will remember this experience for the rest of your life! Cost: $295. To upgrade to swim: $100 (if sharks are spotted) adventurebaycharters.com.au
Ocean Rafting (Whitsunday, QLD) Tell me more: Whitsunday Ocean Rafting take you to the incredible Whitehaven beach, a one-stop relaxation destination with warm crystal clear waters and silica pearly white sand. Enjoy a buffet lunch and guided national park tour, or just sit back and take in some rays. There are two different tour options to choose from with one being the northern end of the beach and the other to the south. On the southern side, there is more time allowed to soak up the sunshine. On the northern, there is a chance to snorkel and explore the nearby coral reefs. If you are keen on doing both, there is a discounted combined tour! They are the only tour company to have direct access to the Hill Inlet Beach, giving you the chance to observe estuarine stingrays and ghost crabs! The company received an Ecotourism Australia Advanced Climate Change Innovator badge, not to mention their great work with the Eye On The Reef Program collecting and documenting marine life to help preserve the spectacular reefs we all love.
