Baird Bay Experience Coastal Lodge
Stay, explore, and unwind on the edge of the Eyre Peninsula, where coastal calm and close-up wildlife moments await.
Swim with wild sea lions and dolphins and explore delicate aquatic ecosystems and coastal environments, all with some of Australia’s most gifted and passionate field guides. Whether on foot, bike, boat, surfboard or the Baird Bay Safari Truck, we can design an adventure to suit your mood, your group and the ever-changing weather. Your journey will always be accented with flavours from an internationally acclaimed chef, crafted simply and skilfully from the region’s finest natural ingredients.
Baird Bay offers immersive, small-group experiences that connect guests with the wild beauty of South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula. Explore land and sea with expert guides – swim with wild sea lions and dolphins, hike along remote coastline, kayak across tranquil waters, or discover towering sea cliffs by e-mountain bike or safari truck. Each day is shaped by nature’s rhythm, with regionally inspired meals and thoughtful hosting making every moment memorable.
Set along the sandy shoreline of Baird Bay, the all-inclusive lodge offers a peaceful retreat that balances comfort with a strong connection to place. Designed for small groups or private buyouts, the two self-contained villas – one three-bedroom and one four-bedroom – are linked by a shared outdoor lounge, BBQ area, and pool. Natural materials, local artwork, and thoughtful touches reflect the character of the region, creating an atmosphere of quiet, understated luxury.

Baird Bay Experience Ocean Tours
Located in a small fishing village 50kms south of Streaky Bay, Baird Bay Experience offers an unrivalled aquatic experience with wild sea lions and dolphins in the pristine waters of the Eyre Peninsula.
Embark on a wild interactive tour for the opportunity to interact with some of the most intelligent marine mammals on earth, in their home, at their invitation. Small intimate groups, of no more than 20 passengers, mean you get to swim with these wild ocean animals without clusters of people around you, ensuring you get one on one time with these incredible animals.
Jump aboard our expedition boat for a half-day adventure within the safe and shallow waters of Baird Bay. We begin with a short cruise to Jones Island, the natural home and habitat of our sea lion friends. As we moor in chest-deep water, the sea lions will come to us, in their time, on their terms. We do not feed them, but simply join their aquatic playtime in the calm and protected rockpools surrounding their home. We then venture across the bay for an exhilarating experience, to swim alongside a pod of majestic dolphins.
The experience concludes with a regionally inspired meal and a hot shower to freshen up.
It’s an experience unlike any other suitable for children and adults alike
Wetsuit, mask and snorkel provided.
