Grandpa’s Guide to Driving in Port Lincoln

G’day mates! I just had dinner with the family. My son cooked up a brilliant dish, making well use of tuna. This reminded me of a certain city in South Australia that’s big in marine life and more specifically, big in tuna!

I’m talking about the marvellous coastal city of Port Lincoln found at the south of the Eyre Peninsula. It’s the biggest city in the West Coast region and you can find it about 280 kilometres from the capital city, Adelaide.

Tuna’s not the only feature this city has to brag about. The remarkable scenery and the coastal locality also play big roles in uplifting Port Lincoln’s Tourism. There’s plenty of wildlife and water sports to go round, making sure everyone has their fair share of fun.

But before we dive straight into your Port Lincoln itinerary we’ve got to make sure you’ve sorted out your means of transportation. Any self-respecting traveller would go and get a car rental for themselves because really, that’s the smartest way to travel when you’re on unfamiliar territory. Get safety, assurance and style, all in one vehicle. Get yours now at Port Lincoln Car Rental and be amazed how the offers fit right into your budget!

1. Swim with the Tuna

What did I say about Port Lincoln and the tuna? Not only do they eat these yummy fish, my friends, they also swim with them too! Four nautical miles from Port Lincoln, you’ll find the largest, fully-enclosed saltwater swimming pool you will ever get to see in your lifetime! I’m certain of it. The pool is a thriving fish-tropolis that includes 60 southern bluefin tuna, and an assortment of silver trevally, salmon, morwong, snapper and more.

Besides the fish tank, the place also has an underwater observatory, a swim platform and a fish feeding platform to make sure that there’s something for everyone to do. Whatever your taste, Swim with the Tuna’s got it!

2. Glen Forest Tourist Park

What you’re sure to get at Glen Forest Tourist Park is a fun-packed day! Wander to your desire. Handle and hold a variety of their animals and birds. You can rest easy in undercover areas with free barbeque facilities. They’ve also got a canteen to make sure you stay refreshed and energised to explore the park.

3. Xtreme Kites and Paddle

Your final destination is a guaranteed adrenaline rush! Uncover the majestic environment of Eyre Peninsula while you try out the two most exciting water sports to date at Xtreme Kites and Paddle! Get to learn them in safe and crowded waters. There’s the super cool stand up paddle boarding and kiteboarding. Pick one or both. Just be sure to have an awesome time! Hang ten, mate!

Now that I’ve told you how much of a cracking good time you’re going to have in Port Lincoln, I’m going to get a good night’s sleep now. Hope I’ve helped you shape up your best vacation yet!

Cheers!
