South Australia is a worthy stop on your tailor-made tour Down Under… home to the Barossa Valley, Kangaroo Island, Adelaide and Flinders Ranges.
For wildlife enthusiasts, head to Kangaroo Island, where you can surround yourself with sea lions at Seal Bay, and get up close to native kangaroos, koalas and penguins.
Then there’s the Barossa Valley; deemed one of the country’s oldest and finest wine producing areas. Some 150 wineries and cellar doors combine with award-winning restaurants and artisan food producers to create a centre of gastronomic indulgence. A hot air balloon ride is an ideal way to gain a real sense of the miles upon miles of vines here, and the golfing opportunities are also world-class.
The outback in South Australia is where you’ll find the Flinders Ranges, Lake Eyre and Simpson Desert. In Flinders Ranges you’ll find exceptional star gazing opportunities, rare wildlife and Aboriginal history. Or if it’s something a little more adrenaline fuelled that sparks your interest, we suggest a 4WD experience in the Simpson Desert.
Base your stay in South Australia’s coastal capital – Adelaide – and you’ll be rewarded with spacious parklands, museums and bustling markets. We recommend taking the vintage tram from the city to the traditional seaside village of Glenelg where you can swim with wild dolphins and soak up the rays on the white sand beach.
