Kangaroo Island
Kangaroo Island is a natural wonder and a treasure trove of beauty, wildlife, pristine beaches, untouched bushland, wine and amazing fresh produce, especially seafood. A journey to Kangaroo Island will really refresh the soul and you’ll feel like you are a million miles away, even though you are only a 45 minute ferry ride from the mainland.
Adelaide
Adelaide is the capital city and boasts an elegant, easy-living lifestyle with great festivals, live music events, galleries, design and fashion houses, theatre and architecture. It’s an easy city to get around and easy to get out of when you want to visit some of our famous regions!
South Australia boasts a healthy Mediterranean climate with cool wet winters and hot dry summers and the lucky people that live here are able to enjoy alfresco dining and outdoor living for most of the year. It is a state of many contrasts with rugged outback wilderness, scenic mountain ranges, an extensive coastline, a famous offshore island (Kangaroo Island) and a large, meandering river (the Mighty Murray).
There are vast national parks, national landscapes (Flinders Ranges and Kangaroo Island), world heritage listed areas, caves, wetlands and fossil regions to explore.
South Australia is known as a wine and food centre with 13 wine regions including the famous Barossa – wine capital of Australia!
The SeaLink Travel Group offers extensive tour and transport operations throughout South Australia, and particularly on Kangaroo Island and we look forward to welcoming you.
Kangaroo Island
Welcome to South Australia
Adelaide Hills
The Adelaide Hills is just a 20 minute drive from Adelaide through the Mount Lofty Ranges with stunning views across the city right through to the coast. Here you’ll find some of Australia’s best cool-climate wines and incredible restaurants and cellar doors. Australia’s oldest German village, Hahndorf is also a ‘must’ visit for all visitors to South Australia.
Barossa
Australia’s wine capital and one of the world’s great wine regions, the Barossa has consistently produced outstanding wine vintages over the past 150 years with six generations of grape growers and winemakers. This valley is a picturesque network of villages, rolling hills, stone churches and vineyards.
Flinders Ranges and Outback
The spectacular Flinders Ranges, located north of Adelaide is a region that offers a wealth of wildlife, geology and ancient landscapes including the rugged Wilpena Pound.
Murray River
The Murray River is to Australia what the Nile River is to Egypt – a great and ancient river system. Fed by tributaries across one third of the Australian continent, the Murray River courses its way through South Australia’s rugged outback gorges on its final journey to the Southern Ocean.
