Join The Big Duck Boat Tours for an unforgettable ocean adventure on South Australia's wild southern coast. Cruise past spectacular cliffs, offshore islands, and secluded beaches aboard a 12.5-metre expedition-style RIB (rigid inflatable boat), and encounter Southern Right Whales, Humpback Whales, dolphins, endangered sea lions, and long-nosed fur seals in their natural environment.

Just an hour from Adelaide, The Big Duck is the Fleurieu Peninsula's leading marine wildlife tour operator, offering eco-certified, family-friendly boat tours that connect visitors with the rich biodiversity of Encounter Marine Park. Whale sightings peak from June to September, making winter the perfect time to explore the region by sea.

Departing from Victor Harbor and seasonally from Wirrina Cove, tours cater to both thrill-seekers and those after a calm, scenic cruise. Victor Harbor departures offer exhilarating open-ocean experiences, while Wirrina Cove provides sheltered cruising along the stunning north-western Fleurieu coast.

Founded in 2010 and proudly family-owned, The Big Duck Boat Tours has earned multiple tourism accolades, including Gold in Ecotourism at the 2023 and 2024 South Australian Tourism Awards, and continues to lead in sustainable, nature-based marine tourism.
Whether you're a wildlife lover, adventurer, or visiting with family, The Big Duck offers an unmatched winter experience along South Australia's coastline.
