The Big Duck Discovery Tour
thebigduck.com.au
Big Duck Boat Tours offer ocean adventures departing Victor Harbor or Ex Adelaide CBD (same day transfer) to the beautiful south coast of the Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia, little more than 1 hr south of Adelaide. Tours visit otherwise inaccessible areas of coastline, islands, and beaches to discover seals, dolphins, seabirds and whales (in season) in their natural environment.
Passengers experience the Southern Ocean and learn about history, geography and wildlife through an informative commentary provided by a friendly and knowledgeable Captain and crew.
The Big Duck is a purpose-built rigid inflatable boat with full sun protection, comfortable seating for up to 24 passengers, on-board toilet, and the highest level of safety equipment, with spray jackets provided. Tours depart from and return to Victor Harbor’s Granite Island Causeway.
The 45-minute Seal Island Tour visits Seal Rock, home to inquisitive Long Nosed Fur seals and Australian Sea Lions, with seabirds and dolphins also common in the area.
The 90-minute Wildlife and Whale Tour departs the Granite Island causeway and cruises past Granite Island to Wright Island where you will learn of the areas whaling history while keeping an eye out for Bottlenose Dolphins. Cruise past the Bluff to West Island and the spectacular cliffs of Kings Beach and Waitpinga before returning home.
For Chinese clientele, we have a mandarin landing page, mandarin tour notes (digital and handouts) and a WeChat account to share the experience.
From June to September Southern Right Whales and Humpback Whales visit the area and as a licensed whale watching vessel Big Duck Tours can enter the Southern Right Whale breeding sanctuary of Encounter Bay. If whales have been reported, the Wildlife and Sightseeing Tour diverts to the Whale Watching Tour route.
Boat charters are also available upon request. Bookings online: thebigduck.com.au

Murray Mouth Adventure Tour by The Big Duck Boat Tours filmed on GoPro
Our first trip through the Murray Mouth! Perfect conditions, everyone had a great time. We filmed it using a GoPro 4 and a Gopro 3 Silver .
The Murray Mouth cruise departs from the Granite Island Causeway and works its way down past Port Elliot and Middleton to the mouth of the Murray River. A crossing of the Murray Bar is an opportunity that not many people have ever had a chance of doing, the combination of a safe boat, experienced captains and a spotter plane ensure that this unique opportunity is fun and safe.
The tour takes us past keen fisherman, into the waterway were Australia’s largest river network exits the mainland into the sea. We work our way through the Historic Goolwa Barrage to one of the oldest wharf's in South Australia.
The return trip is a reversal of the trip described above
**Due to the unpredictable nature of the Murray Mouth combined with inclement weather, tours will be confirmed 2-3 days prior to departure when weather modelling is accurate.

Big Duck Goes through Murray Mouth
BIG DUCK GOES THROUGH MURRAY MOUTH
Enjoy for less than a cup of coffee, this amazing aerial view of the Big Duck doing a test run out the Murray River Mouth.
Great for anyone thinking of giving it a go or interested to see whats out there!
If you've even wondered what it would be like to take a boat out through the Murray Mouth, then this video is for you!
In fact.. pretty soon the Big Duck might be running regular cruises in and out through the mouth! We filmed this over the weekend....
The Captain Michael Veentra says: Yesterday we were gauging the depth in the Murray Mouth Channel with the view of running cruises in the near future from Victor Harbor to Goolwa.
It has been 140 years since there was commercial trade through the Murray Mouth and we believe that it would be a Bucket List item for many South Australians!.
The cruises will be approx. 1.5 hours plus a return bus trip to or from Victor Harbor.More trial runs will be done in the next month in various conditions before we start scheduling departures.
Now that's exciting!!!!
Get behind it SA!
