Exploring the Rugged South Australian Coastline

The core appeal of this tour is the chance to see Robe’s natural beauty from a unique perspective. Conventional sightseeing can only take you so far—this experience takes you into the areas where few visitors venture, offering access to pristine beaches and stunning vistas that are often hidden from the standard tourist trail.
You’ll begin at Sky Seafoods/Taste with Attitude in Robe, where the guide kicks off with a quick briefing and safety overview. From there, if you opt for the guided ride, Peter, the expert driver, will navigate over sand dunes, along beaches, and into remote spots like Queens Head and Bishops Pate. If you prefer to tag along in your own vehicle, you’ll benefit from his local maps and communication equipment, helping you safely explore with confidence.
What Makes the Stops Special?
Each location has its own charm. Domaschenz Beach is noted for its tranquility and scenic beauty, perfect for photographers or those just wanting a peaceful spot to soak in nature. Freshwater Lake offers an inland contrast with its calm waters and surrounds—an unexpected gem tucked away from the coast. Nora Creina and Lake Robe provide stunning views and photo opportunities, especially with the expert positioning of the vehicle that Peter offers, ensuring you capture the perfect shot even if you’re not mobile.
According to reviews, the guidance and flexibility are standout features. Mary_R appreciated how Peter “understood what I wanted to achieve with my photography,” and took her to inaccessible spots she couldn’t reach on her own. This level of personalized service is rare and highly valued.
What’s Included and What’s Not?

The tour includes air-conditioned vehicle transportation, all fees and taxes, CB radio communication, local maps, full recovery equipment, and personalized guided commentary. You’ll also learn about 4WD sand-dune and beach education, which adds an educational dimension to the adventure.
However, food and drinks are not included, so it’s wise to bring some snacks or water. The tour’s focus on the outdoors and remote locations means refreshment options are limited, but the breathtaking scenery more than makes up for that.
The Experience in Practice

Most travelers find the small group size (up to four) ideal for a relaxed, intimate experience. Peter’s reviews consistently praise his knowledge, humor, and attentiveness. “Peter is the best guide you can hire around the area,” says MayetAlejandra_O, who also appreciated his help with her family’s young child’s car seat.
The duration of around three hours strikes a good balance—long enough to explore multiple spots, yet short enough for a half-day outing. Many found that it suited their schedule perfectly, especially when combined with other activities in Robe or Beachport.
