Winter Wonders on the Wild Side: Why Port Lincoln’s Off-Season is the Ultimate On-Switch

Discover Port Lincoln’s best-kept secret: winter like you’ve never experienced it.

If you think winter means hibernation, you haven’t been to Port Lincoln in the off-season. With lush green landscapes, empty coastlines, and nature at its absolute finest, winter on the Eyre Peninsula isn’t the slow season, it’s the secret season.

This is your chance to escape the crowds, breathe in wild, salty air, and indulge in premium seafood, fireside feasts, and unforgettable wildlife encounters. All wrapped in that cozy, untamed winter magic.

Why Winter? Why Now?

When the summer buzz fades, the Eyre Peninsula transforms. The air is crisp, the land breathes green, and there’s a calm stillness that lets you reconnect with nature, with food, and with yourself.

Here’s what makes winter with Australian Coastal Safaris so wildly good:

  • Wildlife, uninterrupted – See emus, koalas, kangaroos, sea lions, and birds of prey in their element, minus the tourist traffic.
  • Seafood at its peak – Winter delivers the freshest catch. Enjoy it beachside, grilled over coals, or paired with local gin by the fire.
  • Fireside flavours – Slow down with warming meals, private bush picnics, and cool-climate Eyre Peninsula wines.
  • Electric Mountain Biking – Glide across coastal trails and lush tracks, with the e-bike doing the hard work.
  • Beach fishing & treks – Solitude meets scenery on guided hikes and sandy fishing spots you’ll likely have to yourself.
  • Campfire connection – Wind down under the stars with red wine, local stories, and marshmallows (yes, we’re that wholesome).
  • Wild Nature – Misty cliffs, glassy bays, ancient dunes, spectacular waves and wildlife wandering through the background? Go on...
