South Australia  - travel and tours

The southern state of South Australia has excellent coastal and outback regions to explore. Tour Adelaide and South Australia to experience diversity, nature, plus stunning food and wine!

Tours start in Adelaide, the capital of South Australia and a gateway to Kangaroo Island, the Barossa Valley wine growing region and the incredible outback expanding through the Red Centre toward the Northern Territory to the North, and Western Australia in the West.

For those visiting Adelaide for just a short time, but want to experience the wild but incredible scenery of South Australia, our Kangaroo Island day tour would be perfect. Kangaroo Island is the place to explore some of our amazing Australian native wildlife making it perfect for those of all ages, with it’s short walks, nature and wildlife spotting in abundance.

If you have more time on your journey – we have a spectacular two-day guided tour to Kangaroo Island, staying in our instagram-worthy glamping tents! We recommend spending two days on Kangaroo Island for a more relaxed experience, with plenty of time to spot native Australian wildlife.

A great way to experience the iconic Aussie Outback is with a tour from Adelaide. The South Australian Outback offers a rugged and extraordinary adventure through the heart of Australia’s vast centre. Head up to the Flinders Ranges to experience the edge of the outback, only a short 4-hour drive from Adelaide, with rocky outcrops and stunning hikes. Our 3 day Flinders Ranges tour is one of our most popular tours from Adelaide taking you to Mambray Creek National Park, Warrens Gorge, Yourambulla Caves and more.

Travel North further through the interior of Australia on our Adelaide to Uluru Adventure Tour if you are up for a real Outback camping experience! On this tour you will come across the iconic Coober Pedy – This isn’t the green rolling hills of South Australia you first imagined. Coober Pedy is a desert town with a difference, located 846km north of Adelaide, Coober Pedy is a town where everyone lives underground due to the intense heat, especially in the summer months (often reaching above 40 degrees celsius!). The town’s historic origin as ‘the opal mining capital of the world’ also gave birth to this way of life, as the miners discovered their tunnels yielded cool, insulated and unique living spaces as well as bountiful, precious opals!

One of our most popular tour from Adelaide is the 18-day Adelaide to Darwin Adventure – This tour travels through the centre of South Australia to Coober Pedy, then visits the iconic Northern Territory sites – Uluru, Kings Canyon / Watarrka, and Kata Tjuta in the Red Centre. Journeying further North towards the Top End you arrive in the tropical Darwin, the gateway to the incredible Kakadu and Litchfield National Parks, where we end our unforgettable Aussie Outback road trip!

Our touring routes from Adelaide travel east to Melbourne, west to Perth and north to Alice Springs.

If you leave South Australia and head east you will visit Victoria and the Grampians National Park and the Great Ocean Road. Read more about Things to see between Adelaide to Melbourne.
