Louth Island Discovery offers a guided introduction to Louth Island, designed to reveal the landscape, heritage and future of this private island setting in a single, cohesive journey.
The experience begins with a Sealegs ferry transfer across the channel. The crossing is unhurried, offering a quiet transition from mainland to island. Arrival is direct onto the shoreline, where guests are welcomed and introduced to their electric buggy.
From here, the journey continues across the island at a measured pace. Led by a knowledgeable guide, guests explore key sites and stories that shape Louth Island today. This includes its natural environment, native flora and fauna, and the layers of history that inform its present-day stewardship and future vision. The route is designed to be immersive rather than observational, allowing the landscape to be experienced at ground level, in context and in silence where appropriate.
The journey concludes at Samphire Restaurant, where guests are welcomed for a curated, seasonal banquet. The menu reflects the region’s produce and the island’s coastal setting, presented with restraint and clarity. It is a final expression of place, served at a considered pace.
Available to day guests on Thursdays and Fridays at 11:00 AM

Rumi on Louth Experiences
Once an untamed sheep farm established in 1802, Louth Island is located just 10 minutes off the coast from Port Lincoln. With its rich history and rugged natural beauty, the island has become a sanctuary where restoration and luxury coexist.
Rumi was created with a clear mission: to restore and revegetate this ancient land while sharing its extraordinary environment and stories with guests. The island’s delicate ecosystems are being carefully revived, allowing visitors to experience a vibrant, thriving wilderness.
The Rumi Explore package offers day visitors a chance to fully immerse themselves in the island’s unique offerings. Guests can embark on guided buggy tours across the restored landscapes, taking in breathtaking views and learning about the island’s ecology. For a more tranquil experience
catamaran cruises provide peaceful exploration of the surrounding waters.
Dining is a highlight at the two chef-hatted Samphire Restaurant, where guests can select from a refined 4-course menu or upgrade to an exclusive 6-course degustation. Both menus showcase the freshest seasonal island ingredients, artfully prepared to engage the senses and celebrate the region’s flavors.
Louth Island enjoys a Mediterranean style climate, with hot summers and mild winters, making it an appealing destination year-round. Each season reveals a different side of the island’s captivating landscape, inviting discovery and indulgence at every visit.
