South Australia Cruises

Step aboard 120-guest Coral Adventurer to explore Australia’s southern coastlines over 9 to 15 days. Australia’s Great Southern Ocean is a thriving marine environment. Its rugged coastline is home to weathered islands and inlets with crystal clear waters. Expeditions here explore remote islands, offshore coral reefs and natural reserves that few are aware exist. The knowledgeable expedition team and guest lecturer program provide expert guidance and insightful presentations into these far-flung destinations, enhancing the expedition cruise experience while helping to create memories to last a lifetime.

The main 11-day Wild Islands of South Australia voyage offers the opportunity to explore and hike South Australia’s wild islands, where forested national parks give way to sheer wave-carved cliffs and sweeping white-sand beaches. Learn about the flora, fauna and history of these remote island habitats and coastal national parks. Cool down with an invigorating ocean swim, enjoy kayaking in the turquoise waters and encounter charismatic native wildlife—inquisitive seals, shorebirds, rock wallabies and many more. Along the way, enjoy the tastes of South Australia and indulge in fresh regional seafood and hand-selected local wines.

The alternative 9-day Bounty of the Southern Ocean cruise focuses on the region’s culinary highlights. Enjoy daily opportunities to taste local specialties and learn about their production from farmers, brewers, distillers and hunter-gatherers. A wide range of food and drink is on offer, including abalone, wine, lobster, whiskey, gin, mushrooms, craft beer, local coffee and tea, and a special “Tastes of the Southern Ocean” dinner night.

Finally, the alternative 15-day Australia’s Great Southern Coastline itinerary provides additional time discovering the wild nature, rich history and delicious produce of the region. Cast off from Melbourne to explore the unique natural beauty of Apollo Bay and the famed Twelve Apostles. Learn the history of Port Fairy with its Georgian-style merchant homes and visit the character-filled township of Robe.

Passage is aboard 120-guest Coral Adventurer. This expedition ship offers a uniquely Australian onboard atmosphere, stylish furnishings, considerable deck space and modern facilities. While exploring Australia’s southernmost territory, appreciate the ship’s glass-bottom boat and Xplorer tender vessel with a water-activity platform for easy entry into the water.

Days 2 - 10
Exploration of South Australia

No two South Australia cruises are the same. Throughout the expedition, allowances may be made for seasonal variations, weather, tidal conditions and any other event that may affect the operation of the vessel. Below is a selection of the key destinations visited.

Antechamber Bay & Cape Willoughby—Kangaroo Island

Antechamber Bay, located on the north coast of the Dudley Peninsula, is one of Kangaroo Island’s finest coastal havens. The deserted, untouched long beach of the bay is where Chapman river meets the sea. The area is covered with a forest of gum trees and narrow-leaf mallee which makes the walk at Lashmar Conservation park truly a magnificent experience. At the other end of the bay, Cape Willoughby juts into the Backstairs Passagethe narrow strait between Kangaroo Island and the Fleurieu Peninsula that was named by Matthew Flinders as the private entrance to the two gulfs. Lighting this nearly 9-mile-wide strait is the Cape Willoughby Light Station. Visit the Lighthouse keeper’s cottage and learn of its interesting stories and have an opportunity to climb the lighthouse itself. In the grounds, do a loop walk from the lighthouse to the beautiful Smuggler’s Cove and often the special KI wallaby are spotted along the way.

Walks:

> Cape Willoughby Light Station Heritage Walk (1 Hour Return, 1.2 miles, moderate)
A hike into the sheltered gully of the original light station settlement. An insight into how the early light keepers lived, with demanding routine and isolation heightened by the distance between their homes and the lighthouse. Visit the Cape Willoughby Lighthouse (Sturt Light), the first lighthouse in South Australia.

> Antechamber Bay Walk (1 Hour Return, 2.6 miles one way, easy-moderate)

> Cape Willoughby Smuggler’s Cove Walk (1 Hour Return, 0.9 miles one way, easy)

Seal Bay & American River—Kangaroo Island

Today enjoy a truly unforgettable wildlife experience at Seal Bay. After traversing the scenic interior of Kangaroo Island by coach from American River, visit the heart of the third largest colony of endangered Australian Sea lion, and share the beach with these magnificent animals. This is the only place in the world you can see Aus­tralian sea lions at close quar­ters and walk on a beach where pups frolic, bulls battle for suprema­cy and rest­ing moth­ers suck­le their young. Later enjoy walks around American River, a township surrounded by bushland and protected wetlands, boasting spectacular views stretching north to mainland Australia.

Western River Cove—Kangaroo Island

Land at isolated Western River Cove to visit the beautiful historic homestead. There may be an opportunity to meet the homestead owners and hear their stories. A walk along the ridge reveals spectacular views of the valley at the back of the property, and the beach offers excellent swimming. Weather permitting, visit beautiful Snug Cove. Later, cruise past the rarely viewed northern cliffs of Kangaroo Island towards Cape Borda.

Coffin Bay

Bordered by sea and National Parks, Coffin Bay is a stunning destination. The pristine waters of the bays in this area are home to numerous pods of dolphins, sea lions, seals and many seabirds. Emus and kangaroos roam and the natural beauty of the turquoise sea, white sand dunes and bright blue sky is a wonderful backdrop to the day’s adventures. Walk through the Coffin Bay National Park at Point Sir Isaac to get an understanding of the forests and environmentenjoy the interpretation of the heathlands, mallee forest and she-oak woodlands. Discover the tranquil bays, protected from the might of the Southern Ocean, and snorkel or kayak with the chance to spot some of the marine life. There is also the opportunity to enjoy an unforgettable wild cuisine experienceenjoy a small boat cruise along the oyster beds to collect and enjoy them fresh from the sea.

Boston Island

Today explore Boston Island, which lies between Port Lincoln and Cape Donington. Roughly 4 miles long, Boston Island is very hilly and has four beautiful beaches. Within the island landmass there is about 2,500 acres of grassy, hilly slopes with many sheep. Given its sheltered coastal aspect there is much birdlife on the island with sea eagles, Cape Barren Geese, wedge tailed eagles and some 40 or so other species that make the island their home. Explore this important seabird breeding area, with walks along golden sand beaches and learn of the history of this island.

Flinders Island

Located around 22 miles from the Eyre Peninsula Coast, Flinders Island has a long history of sealing, whaling and farming. Owned by the Woolford family since 1979, they run an established sheep farm, abalone harvesting business and are working to establish a safe haven for vulnerable native species. Meet the Woolford family to learn about the history and conservation projects on the island. Visit the Kapara shipwreck at Bryant’s Bay and stroll through the shearing sheds at the farm. Taste fresh abalone at Eyrewoolf Abalone.

Walks:

> Western River Cove Walk to Viewpoint (1 Hour, 1.2 miles return, moderate/steep)
A walk from the beach to the nearby historic Western River Homestead and the river valley beyond. While the beautiful homestead survived, the whole valley was heavily impacted by recent fires, with opportunity to look at the effects of these fires and the bushland recovery since.

Cape Donington & Maclaren Point

A headland at the most northerly part of the Jussieu Peninsula on the east coast of Eyre Peninsula, Cape Donington is a great spot to enjoy refreshing sea views and rocky coastline. Take a dip at Cape Donington Beach before heading along the 1.2-mile trail over to September Beach. Keep an eye out for western grey kangaroos, emus or goannas near the Cape Donington lighthouse, or head out to Donington Island to view long-nosed fur seals or Australian sea lions from the Xplorer tender vessel.

Walks:

> Donington Loop Hike – Lincoln National Park (2 Hour Return, 3.8-mile circuit, moderate)
Admire offshore islands, granite outcrops and sandy beaches while exploring the Donington Peninsula. Populations of Australian Sea Lions and New Zealand Fur-seals inhabit Donington Island near the lighthouse.

> Walk Donington September Beach (1 Hour Return, 1.2 miles, easy)
A short, easy hike with refreshing sea views and rocky coastlines.

> Stamford Hill Hike to Woodcutter’s Beach (1.5 Hour Return, 2.5 miles, hard/steep and irregular surface)
Enjoy spectacular panoramic views of Lincoln National Park, Boston Bay and numerous offshore islands from the historic Flinders Monument at the top of Stamford Hill. A reasonably challenging hike, this trail has some moderate inclines but has a good trail surface.

Reevesby Island

Head to Reevesby Island, part of the Sir Joseph Banks Group; an archipelago on the eastern coast of the Eyre Peninsula. Accessible only by boat, this island is one of the largest of the group. Women played a major role in the island’s history, especially in the early days leading up to the Great Depression. Take a hike around this important seabird breeding site and visit the homestead and machinery sheds. This beautiful chain of islands offers a range of sheltered bays, golden sand beaches and reefs teeming with marine life.

Penneshaw—Kangaroo Island

As a secondary option, possibly visit historical Penneshaw. Land at Hogs Bay and learn of the history of Baudin and Flinders.

Walks:

> Kangaroo Island Sculpture Trail (0.9 miles, easy)
The trail is 0.9 miles in length, an easy walk but with some steps, and offers original artwork in a beautiful natural setting.

> Fireball Bates Walking Trail (1-2 hours, 1.9 miles)
George Bates, called Fireball because of his red hair, was one of the first settlers to Kangaroo Island. He joined a sealing expedition in 1823, jumping ship 13 years before settlers arrived. The trail begins at the now closed Kangaroo Island Gateway Visitor Information Center and loops down to near the ferry and back.

> Wallaby Track (1.9 miles, moderate)
It’s a 1.9-mile return hike which follows a natural spring-fed creek bed with naturally occurring waterfalls into limestone features. A  little more challenging, so wear good sturdy walking shoes.

Exploration of Australia's Great Southern Coastline

No two South Australia cruises are the same. Throughout the expedition, allowances may be made for seasonal variations, weather, tidal conditions and any other event that may affect the operation of the vessel. Below is a selection of the key destinations visited.

Apollo Bay

Located along Victoria’s Great Ocean Road, Apollo Bay is part of the Great Otway National Park. Explore the natural beauty of this location by strolling the park to spot the three cascades of the Triplet Falls and walk to the lookout for panoramic views of the seascape.

12 Apostles

View the rugged splendor of the renowned 12 Apostles that lie in the Southern Ocean off Victoria’s coast. The limestone cliffs are subject to constant erosion from the impact of storms and winds, which carved the caves in the cliffs. When the caves eroded into arches and collapsed, their 150-foot-high rocky remains were left along the shore.

Port Fairy

Enjoy a walking town tour of this historic heritage settlement. Grand public buildings sit side by side with restored whalers’ cottages and Georgian styled merchant homes. Continue to the infamous Shipwreck Coast. This stretch of coastline is graveyard to around 700 submerged wrecks, leaving behind their fascinating stories. Captain Matthew Flinders notably said he had never seen a ‘more fearful section of coastline.’

Robe

Spend time today in the historic and picturesque town of Robe. Located on the Limestone Coast, it offers incredible views and unique food, drink and shopping opportunities. One of Australia’s most character-filled small towns, Robe is known for its cottage industries. Spend today exploring through the quaint shops and craft breweries or relax on the beach and watch surfers catching a wave.

Coffin Bay

Hike through the Coffin Bay National Park to get an understanding of the forests and environmentenjoy the interpretation of the heathlands, mallee forest and she-oak woodlands. Discover the tranquil bays and snorkel or kayak with the chance to spot some of the marine life. There is also the opportunity to enjoy an unforgettable wild cuisine experienceenjoy a small boat cruise along the oyster beds to collect oysters and enjoy them fresh from the sea.

Flinders Island

Flinders Island is located about 22 miles from the Eyre Peninsula Coast and has been owned by the Woolford family since 1979, where they fish for abalone and are working to establish a safe haven for vulnerable native species. Meet Tobin and Jonas Woolford on Front Beach, learn of the island’s history and taste freshly pan-seared abalone. Explore the historic shearing sheds and head to Bryant’s Bay to visit the Kapara shipwreck.

Bunda Cliffs

Awe-inspiring 400-foot-tall white, chalky Bunda Cliffs run for 62 miles along the Great Australian Bight. This nearly 1,000-foot-thick limestone slab was once part of an ancient seabed and now forms the Nullarbor Plain, extending far inland many layers containing many fossils. This is a very rarely explored area of the Australian coastline with over 1,000 islands and today’s visit will be an adventurous exploration of the rocky islands and sweeping beaches of the region.

Woody Island

Located just 9.3 miles off the coast of Esperance, Woody Island offers stands of tall trees that have given it its name. Experience the snorkel trail in Shearwater Bay, surrounded by pristine, clear waters. The cool southern waters provide excellent visibility. There is whaling history throughout the area as well as numerous wrecks, including the second-largest diveable wreck in Australia, the Sanko Harvest, which lays between 60 to 130 feet long.

Lucky Bay

Along quiet Lucky Bay, kangaroos are known to laze on the whitest sand in Australia. Enjoy time on the beach meeting the friendly wildlife, and the turquoise water is wonderful for a quick swim. If time permits, enjoy a walk to Thistle Cove, taking in the peaceful beauty of the national park, which is home to pygmy possums, western grey kangaroos and many colorful native wildflowers.

Albany

Albany is the oldest colonial settlement in Western Australia, predating Perth and Fremantle by over two years. For many years, it was the colony’s only deep-water port, having a place of eminence on shipping services between Britain and its Australian colonies. The town has a role in the ANZAC legend, being the last port of call for troop ships departing with infantry and cavalry horses from Australia in the First World War.

Augusta

Augusta is the most southwestern town in Australia and is nearby to the towering karri timber of Boranup Forest and spectacular Jewel Cave. Visit Jewel Cave, an awe-inspiring and extremely well decorated cave, containing many beautiful examples of delicate helictites, cave coral, pendulites, a very large stalagmite called The Karri Forest and beautiful examples of flowstone such as The Frozen Waterfall and The Organ Pipes. Remarkably, fossilized remains of several Tasmanian tigers have been discovered within Jewel Cave.

Hamelin Bay

Located on the southwest coast on a serene, open sandy bay, Hamelin Bay is known for the abundance of stingrays which frequent the bay. Snorkel with these friendly giant rays, which can measure up to 6.5 feet wide and love to swim up close to snorkelers. Enjoy a guided tour of Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse, the tallest lighthouse on mainland Australia. Climb the tower to be rewarded with a vast seascape of crashing waves and surrounding wilderness. Walk the grounds and explore the beautifully restored heritage site.
