“Traveling into the national park via bushland to Yarnbala on their minibus was a lovely experience. Pickup is available from Coffin Bay Yacht Club or can be arranged in advance. You arrive right by the main stage/bar/campfire. The venue, constructed from a diverse mix of reclaimed materials, blends seamlessly into the wooded surroundings, creating a laid-back and earthy vibe that enhances the enjoyment of live music, food, and drinks. You can choose from beers, wine, cider, or specially crafted cocktails featuring local ingredients, all beautifully presented. The hand-made pizzas are particularly tasty and highly recommended. On the night I attended, the live music was outstanding, performed by a trio named Samphire, featuring acoustic guitar, drums, and saxophone. Each night showcases different musicians and styles, ensuring something for everyone.”— slycarole

The hospitality from the RUMI staff was exceptional, making this one of the highlights of our trip.

12. Half-day tour of Port Lincoln National Park

Four hours of off-road exploration — limestone coastlines, sand dunes, wildlife encounters, and historic sites within Port Lincoln National Park.

“Our experience with Ben was incredible. He picked us up promptly from our accommodation, which was a great start. Ben was not only friendly but also very knowledgeable, making the tour truly memorable. We explored the sand dunes and felt secure, especially knowing the risks of getting bogged. Almost immediately, we spotted emus, and Ben kindly stopped for us to capture photos and videos. He also highlighted local flora and fauna, allowing us to see osprey nests and sleepy lizards in the nature reserve park. Ben's passion for his work really enhanced our tour experience. After several tours in Australia, we can confidently say that Ben is the best guide we've encountered. Our only disappointment is not having booked a longer stay in Port Lincoln to enjoy more of Ben's tours.”— marilyn34
