A private transfer will whisk you from your Adelaide accommodation to the airport, where a brief 45-minute flight will carry you to the shores of Port Lincoln, known as the “Seafood Capital of Australia.” Upon arrival, your expert local guide awaits, ready to welcome you with a warm coffee, setting the tone to explore the idyllic and serene scenes of Port Lincoln, the only city on the Eyre Peninsula and located on one of the largest protected harbours in the world. After an orienting tour of the town, you'll be invited aboard the ‘Tesla’, a unique electric canal cruiser helmed by a local legend. Glide through Port Lincoln’s marina, a world surrounded by Australia’s largest commercial fishing fleet, and delve into the stories of the Eyre Peninsula’s enviable seafood industry. Your journey continues with an exquisite lunch at the iconic Fresh Fish Place, a local favourite. Here, you will indulge in the Eyre Peninsula’s bountiful treasures—succulent oysters, delicate scallops, rich crayfish, and fresh crab and fish. A private, behind-the-scenes Factory Tour offers further tastings and a deeper appreciation for this ocean bounty. As the coastline unfolds, we will venture into the magnificent Lincoln National Park.

Pre-Existing Medical Conditions and Age Limits
You need to advise Onlyluxe travel and the tour operator on any pre-existing medical condition, mobility impairment and/or disability that might reasonably be expected to increase the risk of your requiring medical attention, or that might affect the normal conduct of a trip and the enjoyment of other trip members. Onlyluxe Travel and the tour operator may require an assessment of your medical condition from a qualified medical practitioner.

Cancellation by The Tour Operator
The walks take place in very special wilderness settings. The tour operator is at the mercy of nature in all her beauty and all her fury. The tour operator will under no circumstance knowingly place at risk the health and well-being of our guests and guides. In the case of natural threats, acts of God and the like (e.g. bushfires, impassable snow, etc) the tour operator may need to cancel a walk with very little notice. In some cases, this can occur after the walk has commenced. The tour operator reserves the right to cancel any walk up to 60 days prior to departure if a minimum of 4 walkers are unable to meet for a tour. If the tour operator needs to cancel for any reason, the cost of the walk or any other costs associated with travel to the designated pick up point, overnight accommodation, meals, etc will not be covered by the Onlyluxe Travel and therefore we strongly recommend travel insurance be taken out prior to travel.
Force Majeure
'Force Majeure' means (without restriction) any event which Onlyluxe Travel or its third party providers could not, even with due care, foresee or avoid. Force Majeure covers events such as, but not limited to, adverse weather conditions, fire and all similar events beyond our control. In the case of Force Majeure Onlyluxe Travel will not accept liability, and reserves the right to change and cancel trips.
Evacuations
In rare circumstances, due to injury or unforeseen illness, the tour operator may need to evacuate you from a remote part of the walk. Helicopter evacuations are expensive and in most cases will be at a cost to the customer.
For Australian residents, under the Australian Government Medicare Act, it is prohibited for any domestic travel insurance product to provide any financial reimbursement with regard to ambulance or air ambulance services. We therefore strongly advise our customers to take specific ambulance cover through their health insurance provider. Evacuation cost will not be covered by the Onlyluxe Travel and therefore it is also strongly recommended that our customers take out travel insurance to cover (amongst other things) the costs associated with evacuation.
Travel Insurance
In view of the heavy cancellation penalties applied to cancelled reservations in certain circumstances, we strongly recommends suitable travel insurance be purchased at the time the holding deposit is paid. We recommend insurance cover that covers any loss which may be suffered due to cancellation. We also strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance against loss of baggage and medical expenses.
