We came to Port Lincoln to dive with great white sharks and decided to do this on one of the extra days we had. I gotta say the experience was right up there with the shark diving, and in many ways better. The crew are all super friendly and great fun - it is a 15 minute boat ride out... More

“MUST EXPERIENCE!!!”

Reviewed March 12, 2012

This was great! The highlight of our trip definitely! For $70 (per adult) you can feed the tuna and for $10 extra you can also swim with them. The catamaran picks you up from next to the Marina Hotel, takes 15 mins to get out to the pontoon. Beautiful scenery, nice boat. You spend roughly 2 1/2 hours at the... More
