Highlights of the tour:
- «Every year between May and August, Giant Australian Cuttlefish migrate to shallow waters near Whyalla to breed. This is a unique spectacle and not replicated anywhere else. Thousands of cuttlefish make this journey. They grow up to 60 centimetres long and can weigh up to 5 kilograms. They have the unusual ability to change shape and colour to match their surroundings. The males even turn a fluorescent blue to attract a female mate. They are gentle creatures and don’t mind sharing the ocean with others, including us.
- «See these amazing sea creatures from the comfort of a glass bottom boat. Watch them swim, change colour and mate (if you’re lucky).
- «CAUTION; You are required to walk over large flat rocks to get from the shore to the boat so must have reasonable balance. It is approximately 30 metres and not in the water. There is a hand chain for support but you must be able to manage this almost by yourself. There will be people there to support you if required. It is not suitable for people with walkers or walking aids.

- «Visit Hummocks Hill Look Out at Whyalla at sunset and see the amazing colours over the round jetty, the town and the Steel Works.
