Drive to the Great White with Hertz
There’s something really quite special about Port Lincoln.
Not only is it the seafood capital of Australia, but it’s also home to quite a few magical sea creatures too. Many travel here for that once in a lifetime opportunity to swim with the most feared but beloved sea creature of all time, the great white shark. With many tours operating daily, you can view the great whites from above on the sea deck, or perhaps take that adrenaline-fueled dive in a cage and witness the majestic animal in its own habitat. It’s not for the faint-hearted, but it will be a day that you remember for the rest of your life.
If that adventure is a bit too bold for your liking, then not to worry - there are ample opportunities to bond with the sea animals that have made their home in the waters of Port Lincoln. Perhaps swim with dolphins or sea lions before driving across town to the Fresh Fish Place for dinner. One thing is for sure: if you love seafood, you’ll adore Port Lincoln.
Drive Across the Eyre Peninsula in your Rental Car
Port Lincoln is at the heart of the Eyre Peninsula.
Heading on a road trip in the Eyre Peninsula is nothing short of magical. You can stop at any point of the Eyre Peninsula to admire the spectacular scenes that this area is renowned for. Famous for the rugged and wild coastline, there are plenty of road trips for you to enjoy. Some are more close by, like the Lincoln National Park, which is just 15-minutes away. Others are far further afield, like the Gawler Ranges National Park, which is over a three and a half-hour drive from Port Lincoln. While this might seem long, it’s definitely worth it, with spectacular rock formations taking centre stage and dazzling tourists for centuries.
Just over an hour away is the Instagram-worthy limestone formation, the Cummings Monument. Drive here to see its impressive structure at sunrise or sunset, where the orange hues will simply light the limestone on a glowing fire. This is also a great spot for surfers, with incredible waves gracing the water each and every day.
Port Lincoln is definitely a trip that everyone should make in their lifetime. The seafood and sea world here attracts thousands of visitors each year, so if you want a taste of the ocean, you must head here on your travels. We can’t wait to welcome you to Hertz Port Lincoln Downtown soon.
