OVERVIEW –
Join us on an exhilarating journey along the breathtaking coastline of ‘Canunda National Park’ in South Australia, along the picturesque Limestone Coast, only four hours south of Adelaide. This tour focuses on the northern section of the park, where you’ll encounter a rich tapestry of coastal landscapes, from towering limestone cliffs to secluded coves and offshore reefs. Don’t forget to pack your camera to capture the mesmerising play of light on the rugged terrain, with sandstone ridges and sedimentary rock formations creating a stunning backdrop.
Accessibility to most parts of the park is limited to four-wheel-drive vehicles or hiking, ensuring a sense of wilderness and adventure. As you explore, keep an eye out for the intricate beauty of the underwater world revealed by clear waters during low tide, showcasing vibrant kelp forests and hidden rock pools ripe for exploration.
What truly sets Canunda National Park apart is its abundance of wildlife. While human visitors are few and far between, you’ll be surrounded by a myriad of native creatures, from kangaroos bounding across the landscape to echidnas, wombats, and an array of birdlife. So come prepared to immerse yourself in nature’s wonders and witness the untouched beauty of one of Australia’s most spectacular coastlines.

TOUR HIGHLIGHTS –
A unique and rewarding experience for those willing to explore beyond the beaten path. Low tide and calm seas provide an ideal opportunity to discover hidden gems such as coves, reefs, and rock pools that may not be immediately visible to the casual passersby. Indulge in fossicking, discovering the untouched beauty and marvels of the coastline, far from the crowded tourist hubs.
The towering limestone cliff lines add an additional layer of majesty to the landscape, perhaps rivalling even the renowned Great Ocean Road in their grandeur. These cliffs not only offer stunning views but also serve as a testament to the geological history of the region.
