Experience two of the most exciting marine encounters in one fantastic tour combination!

Enjoy swimming with the Sea Lions at Seal Cove, Hopkins Island. Set off early from the Port Lincoln Marina on a morning cruise and head to the sheltered waters of Hopkins Island. It is a 1.5 hour trip in our comfortable fully enclosed vessel. Sit back relax and enjoy the ride and snooze off the early morning. Tea and coffee will be served as well as a light snack.

Upon arrival at Seal Cove, the vessel will be anchored close to shore and the Sea Lions will bound out to the boat and greet you with open flippers! After a short briefing on how to interact with these gorgeous marine mammals as well as safety instructions and some detailed background into the history of the surrounding area it is time to meet the locals!!
Experience the thrill of being tantalisingly close to these puppy dogs of the sea. Often 40 Sea Lions surround the boat and INTERACTION IS GUARANTEED!!
In this combination you will also join a seperate two hour tour to visit our Tuna farm in Boston Bay! Swim with these magnificent fish and hand feed them from our purpose built pontoon! Why not take a look at the fish from our underwater viewing tunnel as well as learn the intimate workings of this industry that has put Port Lincoln on the map!

Hopkins Island is a beautiful natural reserve and we do not have access to the beach. This helps preserve this Australian Sea Lion colony and we do not disturb their haul out site. The water is a safe 2m in depth and all swimmers feel comfortable in the clear water with sand below. We ask that customers bring suitable clothing for sun protection and sun cream. However we ask that sun cream is not applied if swimming with the Sea Lions and Tuna. We are unsure of how sun cream affects the animals.

Note: To swim with the Sea Lions you MUST have basic swimming skills and be a confident ocean swimmer. We only swim off the back of the boat and do not set foot on the Island as it is a natural reserve. When you first enter the water it is 2m deep, however if you swim 50m you can actually stand. Please keep this in mind when making your booking.
