Spring is here & with spring comes warmer temperatures, longer days & beautiful countryside with local flora in full bloom. This is inland of course but this also means that the ocean winds drop, which makes the trip out to Neptune Island off Port Lincoln,Australia, even better to dive with the Great White Sharks!
Shark numbers are fantastic at the minute & have been all winter with 5-8 big sharks present everyday, giving you the ultimate underwater experience whilst safely being protected by the large & specially designed underwater cage.
For those of you who would prefer to stay on the dry deck of the boat, a special passenger price has now been released of $395 per person & you still have the option of upgrading to diving once on board. The views from the deck & flybridge are still outstanding & guaranteed a special Kodak moment!
Day trips are the most popular but multiple days out with the sharks & other marine life are also very well sought after.For further info please contact us.
Enjoy this magnificent spring weather & when you have pulled all the weeds out from the garden, come & have a look these ripper creatures!!

This really is sensational. There is over 2000km of coastline on Eyre Peninsula, featuring rugged & spectacular towering limestone cliffs as well as beautiful sweeping surf beaches, sand dunes, sheltered coves, rare osperey nests & our treks will show you all of this plus some!
For those of you who like the outdoors & a bit of fitness with some fresh sea air blowing into your face, this is right up your alley!
We provide 2lt camel packs with your food requirements for the day & away we go starting on our coastal farm & making our way along the waters edge & then gradually climbing up onto the cliff tops where hardly anyone has ventured before.
Views are obviously incredible as is the wildlife, but for me, seeing & hearing the surf crash in from the Southern Ocean onto the cliff faces makes you want to sit & watch for hours.
Depending on your fitness levels, the trek takes about 6 hours to do, so we can do this as just a day trip or an another option as an extra activity on one of our Goin Off Safaris packages. We try to avoid November- March as it can get very hot, but spring time is ideal. We can also extend this day trip into a longer format with 2-4 day trks available & for those really keen & inspired we are planning kayaking, trekking & riding a larger section of the coastline. Should be great fun, a great challenge, so contact us about that as well!
Very well done to the members of the Leonello family who took up the challenge & came with us for the first time late last year & hardly raised a sweat!

Great to hear that one of our main wine suppliers, Lincoln Estate Winery, has just jagged 2 bronze medals at the Brisbane Fine Wine Festival recently for their Sashimi Sauv Blanc Chardonnay & Greenlip Cab Sav so very well done.
Speaking with the vineyard manager, Kym ” Turbo ” Turvey, he says the nationwide recognition is excellent exposure for the Eyre Peninsula. Not only nationwide recognition for the family run winery but it is also cracking markets globally in countries such as Japan, Singapore, South Korea & China.
Along with the winery, the Turvey family also own & operate the Glen Forest Animal Farm which is outstanding for all visitors & here you can feed all our native animals such as kangaroos, koalas, many bird species & then after a round of mini golf, kick back around a bbq & sample some of the home grown flavours of the local fruit. It make a great day.
Good work Turbo, & Goin Off Safaris is proud to be supporting yet another high standard local product!
Special thanks to the Port Lincoln Times for the photo

Local Port lincoln winery, Boston Bay Wines, yesterday released it’s first ever sauvignon bland white wine & has aptly named the new label as The Great White. Port Lincoln is known as the seafood capital of Australia ( for good reason) & this wine has been specifically produced for the fresh seafood that we endulge in down here. At the launch yesterday, I personally had to have a few glasses & with some fresh Coffin Bay Oysters & it really was top shelf!
Special thanks to the Pt.Lincoln Times for the photo of Bill Ford(right)
The Great White is the new addition added to the Ford families assorted collection of Riesling, Chardonnay, Spatlese Riesling, Riesling Mistrille, Cab Sav, Shiraz ( my favourite) & Merlot. The family describes the Great White as ” elegant, crunchy sauvignon that packed with appetising tropical fruits , goosberry & all manner of naturally refreshing flavours & aromas that marry particularly well with just about any kind of seafood..”
The winery itself is seated perfectly overlooking the enormity of Port Lincolns Boston Bay( hence the name). A beautiful location especially when one can sit back with the home grown product whilst been served up something equally special by live in acclaimed master chef & family member Tony Ford. The winery caters for those special functions as well during the year & is open for cellar door sales. Goin Off Safaris is more than happy to provide clients with a selection of the local drop!
Whilst on Great Whites, out in the water, numbers of the sharks are great at the minute & have been for some time, with some of the big ones up to 18 ft been frequently seen. So now is the time to see the Great Whites in the water & back on land, sample of few glasses of the new label with some fresh oysters so you can see what we’re on about over here!
I’m gonnna crack another!!

With the winter season apon us, all the rage in Australian tourism is in the natural phenonaman of the country’s biggest lake, that being Lake Eyre, filling up. The lake surface itself is a massive 9690 square kilometers ( the size of Holland!) which is normally a very hard salt crust but after early season floods in Queenslands Channel Country of the Georgina, Diamantina & Cooper Creek Catchments, the lake is slowly filling & has only filled 3 times in the last 150 years!
Last weekend saw us fill a classic Beech 18 aircraft for a customized tour of Lake Eyre & beyond over 4 incredible days! Departing from Adelaide, our group took in Wilpena Pound & Arkaroola in the Flinders Ranges,Innamincka, Coongie Lakes,Birdsville, Dalhousie Springs, the Painted Desert & Evelyn Downs cattle station. On the ground, our guests met local characters at the legendary Birdsville Pub, Coopers Creek Homestay, the famous William Creek Hotel & then had the best nights sleep in the underground rooms of Coober Pedy’s Desert Cave Motel. Every day is another amazing encounter with the guys flat out taking in all sights, scenery & there is no better way to catch the best vantage points to appreciate the whole outback experience & that’s by air.
Spring is going to be something else as the wildflowers & wildlife will be lighting up the country side so if your thinking of capturing some of the countries absolutely finest scenery, at its spectacular best, get in contact with us asap to book your customised trip. Opal Air charters are our local & well known proven operators with gun pilots,Lindsay Matthews & Chris Phitzner at the helm. Flights carrying 6-8 passengers are available from Adelaide, Wudinna, Coober Pedy or after a Great White Shark Dive in Pt.Lincoln, we’ll go from there as well!!

Eyre Peninsula’s secrets of the deep sea unveiled on the big screen & narrated by Hollywood superstar Jim Carrey…?
True story, as the below article indicates!. This is a great coup for our coastline to have something like this on the big Imax 3D screens to be shown to audiences around the world. As most would know, Goin Off Safaris takes you to the real stage underwater to dive with the Great White Sharks, swimming with Bluefin Tuna, Sealions & Dolphins plus everything in between !
I like whats said in Michele Hall’s producers notes where ” this is some of the most exotic & isolated undersea locations on Earth” .
I would love to see some of Jim Carrey’s funny faces whilst underwater amongst some of these beauties!!
