Overview

Sea Wirrina Tour – Wirrina Cove
– Departing from Wirrina Cove Marina (October – April). Cruise south down along the spectacular Fleurieu Peninsula coastline viewing stunning headlands, cliffs, bays & pristine turquoise waters of St Vincent Gulf. The perspective from the water is incredible as we pass by Second Valley, Rapid Bay & Cap Sevinge. Amazing geological formations make up the rugged coastline with towering cliff-faces, rolling hills, with caves and hidden coves. We make our way past Rapid Bay and its jetties & quarry to visit the Fur Seal Colony, with a few lazy Seal Lions around Rapid Head. Try and spot soaring White Bellied Sea Eagles circling above the towering cliffs and catch a look at the huge wind turbines of Starfish Hill Wind Farm before making our way back up along the coast to the departure point at Wirrina Cove.
