“I had an incredible day with David, who was an excellent host. His knowledge and driving skills were impressive, and he even cooked a healthy and delicious lunch that I couldn’t fault. The sand dune driving was a highlight, especially watching the kids enjoy boarding down the dunes. The scenery was stunning, and I prefer to keep it a secret. Overall, this experience provided me with wonderful memories, making it the perfect way to spend a day. I appreciate David and Renae for organizing everything.

4. Full-day wildlife and seafood tour in Port Lincoln

A full-day small group tour — close encounters with emus and koalas, local seafood tasting, and 4WD adventures in the sand dunes.

“Driving with Ben was a fantastic experience. He provided great insights into the local cuisine, history, and various attractions. My wife had some worries about the 4WD experience, but Ben alleviated them by thoroughly explaining tire deflation, safety equipment, and what tools were available in case of issues. His four-wheel driving abilities were outstanding, and his knowledge was truly remarkable. Additionally, his cooking was quite impressive.”— Rijo_R

5. 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
