South Australia Things To Do From The City To The Outback

Sharks
South Australia is one of the top three places in the world to cage dive with the immense Great White shark. Rodney Fox Shark Expeditions are your best bet as they’re voted number one on Trip Advisor of things to do in Port Lincoln. Rodney invented the shark cage, which was first used in 1976. The pioneering company with a wealth of knowledge – you’ll be in very safe hands with them. No diving experience is necessary.

Vineyards
One of South Australia’s biggest draw cards is its vineyards. Talk about Australian wine and your mind will automatically drift to the rows and rows of growing grapes in the dusty landscapes of South Australia. There are loads of tours on offer – all with a lot of free wine tasting to go with it.

Kangaroo Island
Kangaroo Island is arguably the icon of South Australia. A stunning Island located off the South coast of South Australia, Kangaroo Island is Australia’s third largest Island – 155 km long by 55 km wide, with over 540 kms. The coastal island has some of Australia’s best wineries, coast line and is habitant to classic Australia wildlife such Koalas, sea lions, penguins, goannas, echidnas and of course Kangaroos.

Caves
South Australia’s only World Heritage site; at Naracoorte Caves you could be caving through dimly lit tight spaces, although it’s not extreme caving as there’s no rope work and little actual climbing required; it’s more of a caving for first timers. Don’t miss their popular fossil cave tour to learn about the prehistoric bones that were found here.

Hot Air Ballooning
See what the Barossa region has to offer from up high with a hot air balloon flight over historic towns and rolling hills as the Murray River flows below you whilst you relax with a glass of wine in your very own wicker basket in the clouds. An hour out of Adelaide, the Barossa region is famous for its wine, and there will be plenty to sample once you’re back on the ground.

Cricket
Aussies love cricket so catch a game at Adelaide’s Oval, the area’s premier sports stadium. Time your visit correctly and you could catch one of the Ashes matches they play here against England; one of the top sporting dates in the calendar.

Outback Camping Tours
Discover the wanders of the Nullarbor Plains, Kangaroo Island, Flinders Ranges and the amazing Australian wildlife such as Kangaroo’s, Wombats, Frilled Lizards, Koalas and more. South Australia offers the chance to get in touch with nature. What better way to discover the real Australia than by sleeping under the stars in a swag (sleeping bag) and gazing at the stars.
