Summit to Sea Eyre Peninsula 4WD Escape
Duration:
Operated By:
From rugged ridgelines to windswept shores — a full-day 4WD adventure on South Australia’s wild side.
Overview
through a private outback station filled with rocky tracks, native bushland, and wildlife before descending to the coast for a thrilling sand dune and beach drive along the Eyre Peninsula’s eastern edge.
It’s a true showcase of South Australia’s diversity — outback, ocean, and everything in between — experienced through the lens of adventure and guided by those who know the region best.
Outback Track Adventure
Our journey begins inland, venturing into the heart of a private outback station that few ever get to explore. Winding 4WD tracks climb through rugged rocky ridgelines, surrounded by hardy vegetation and the raw textures of the Eyre Peninsula’s interior. Along the way, you might encounter western grey kangaroos, wallaroos, emus, eagles, lizards, and other wildlife that thrive in this untouched landscape.
At the summit lookout, we’ll take a moment to soak in the panorama — an incredible view stretching all the way to the Southern Ocean. It’s the perfect place to pause, breathe in the stillness, and capture some of the most dramatic photographs of the day.
Ocean Dune and Beach Drive
Leaving the outback behind, the track leads us toward the coast — where the landscape shifts dramatically. Here, we trade rocks for sand as we navigate rolling coastal dunes and open beaches. This section of the tour offers a pure sense of freedom: the hum of the 4WD over the sand, the scent of the sea, and the endless horizon ahead.
Keep your camera ready for shorebirds, terns, sea gulls, and even fur seals basking near the surf. Because this location is outside national park boundaries, guests are welcome to fly drones, making it an incredible opportunity for photographers and content creators to capture the adventure from above.
The Experience
The Summit to Sea 4WD Escape is designed for those seeking a soft adventure — exciting and authentic, yet comfortable and accessible. It’s not a hardcore off-road challenge, but rather a balanced blend of scenic exploration, wildlife encounters, and off-road excitement.
What makes this experience truly special is the contrast: rugged outback ridges meeting the open ocean, land meeting sea, and adventure meeting serenity. Every turn of the track tells a story of South Australia’s wild heart — and every stop invites you to connect more deeply with it.

" Count All The Koalas you can see tour," also known as the
"Mikkira Station Koala Tour, Port Lincoln"
with the intrepid tour guide, Ben. His eagle eyes helped us spot 38 koalas with the occasional emu and kangaroo. Not quite the record of 50 koalas, but we felt that we were on the podium. Many were resting on low branches allowing for a selfie or two, but done without disturbing them.
This tour gives an excellent experience of Australiarna.
Thank you Ben.

And Ben's professional photography truly stood out. we have countless amazing pictures and wonderful memories to cherish.
We also deeply appreciated the delightful afternoon tea. And it was such a nice surprise that you even offered reasonably priced wine and cheese plates for those in the mood!
Ben has a plenty of knowledge and passion for Port Lincoln were truly impressive. He kept us engaged and learning throughout the journey, that was especially valuable for the kids.
Choosing South Tour and having Ben as our guide made our Port Lincoln holiday perfect! Thank you for Ben's warmth and professionalism.
Thanks again Ben for the experience we throughly enjoyed the half day tour and your tips for us first timers.

The tour was a highlight of our time in Port Lincoln and is highly recommended.
Great fun, informative and an opportunity to see parts of Port Lincoln that we would have missed.
When we visit again we’ll DEFINITELY be looking to catch up with Ben again to experience other tours.
In addition to the scenery and the knowledge, Ben took some really fun photos of us on the day and then shared them which was an added bonus.
Ben took his time to show us everything in detail and made sure we didn’t miss any special spots. He also took amazing photos, capturing the beauty of the dunes perfectly. His friendly and relaxed attitude made the whole experience even better.
This is definitely a must-do activity! Highly recommended for anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure.
I went on this tour with just my child as my husband was on a working holiday. I wasn’t sure to begin with but after contacting Ben, he reassured me we would be fine.
We were more than fine, we both couldn’t rate this trip higher (and coming from a child that would prefer to do this in a digital world, this is exactly what every parent wants).
We visited secluded beaches, dramatic landscapes, cliffs, caves, look outs! A taste of nature, emus, kangaroos, ospreys, large seagulls, oystercatcher and we were hoping to see a snake in the dunes (like the night before) but not this time. Ben talked to my child about the shells he was picking up and showing him the black sea snails too.
We visited the sand dunes and Ben took amazing pictures for us (this was a first for us, it was very special. If you haven’t done this, you feel like you are in a different world).
We finished on a beach than can only be reached by 4WD or boat, for the most beautiful sunrise, perfection!
His 4WD route was within the boundaries and taking care of the beaches and sand dunes as we went along and explaining why (I thought this was very educational and informative for people who may not understand the importance of why we need to look after these areas).
My child paid for a sand board and loved that part (I had a go and have to admit, loved it too)!
It was great to hear about all the local nature and see many species on our trip and the final great was Ben sent us his photographs of the day (much better than ours as he’s a nature photographer)👌
Highly recommend Tour South 💯
Ben was amazing throughout and far exceeded our expectations. My mother is elderly, and Ben helped her navigate tricky rock paths to enable her to reach the rock pools.
We saw lots of wild life, beautiful beaches and rock formations. Ben is an accomplished photographer, and we were so grateful to him for the wonderful photos he took.
We have many amazing memories of our trips with Ben. Thank you Ben :-)
