South Australia Holidays

Relaxed, cultured and cosmopolitan, South Australia is often overlooked in favour of its more famous neighbours but should you venture here you'll be rewarded with authentic Aussie experiences, incredible wildlife, fine wine and delicious local produce.

The charming state capital of Adelaide offers vibrant markets and street side cafes, whilst the coast is just a short journey away. It’s the perfect base for exploring the rest of fascinating South Australia as well as being the starting point of the famous Ghan train journey to Alice Springs and Darwin.

Treat your taste buds to world-class wines in the Barossa Valley and discover amazing wildlife on Kangaroo Island, Australia’s answer to the Galapagos.

With incredible natural beauty and prolific wildlife, each region of South Australia merits its own exploration. Spend your days hopping between boutique vineyards in the Adelaide Hills or Barossa Valley, or drive to the easily accessible outback of the spectacular Flinders Ranges. Or maybe head to incredible Kangaroo Island for up close encounters with native wildlife.
