location
Have you ever wanted to be kissed by a wild sea lion? How about nudge up against dolphins in crystal clear waters? Blue lagoons, pristine white sands, and sea life of every shape and kind – this escape is for all our wannabe mermaids. This awescape is an eco-conscious, minimal footprint expedition into the Eyre peninsula. We will be sleeping under the stars, by campfire some nights (and in close proximity to wild koalas!), while others will be in beachside accommodation. Each day of this unforgettable escape will introduce you to a new facet of the South Australian coastline. There will be yoga on private islands, meditative walks along secluded beaches, and an expedition to the bubble-gum pink salt plains. Pack up your sea legs and don your fins, this is a trip we promise you won’t want to miss!
We’ll be mixing it up each night, sleeping under the stars for some, and staying in beachside accommodation for others. For the nights when we’re camping, we’ll be sleeping true aussie style, snuggling up in cozy swags. Each campsite has been chosen for its proximity to local sites and stunning natural surrounds. Whilst we’ll be roughing it a little, each campsite is fitted with hot showers and shared toilets.
