Adelaide Tours

Day Trips from Adelaide

Adelaide day trips cover three distinct regions: wine country to the north and south, a wildlife island to the south-west, and accessible coastal and heritage options close to the city.

Barossa Valley Wine Tours

Australia’s oldest wine region, about an hour from Adelaide. More than 80 cellar doors, with Shiraz and Semillon as the signature varieties. Sightseeing Tours Australia’s Barossa Valley tours from Adelaide include wine tastings, a gourmet lunch, and stops at landmarks like Maggie Beer’s Farm Shop and the Whispering Wall. Tour options from $159 to $198. This is Sightseeing Tours Australia’s best-selling Adelaide product, with 28 reviews and consistent five-star ratings. See all Barossa Valley tours.

Kangaroo Island Tours

Sightseeing Tours Australia’s most significant Adelaide product, with tours from 1 day ($400) to 3 days ($895). A 1-day tour covers the ferry from Cape Jervis, Seal Bay sea lion colony, Remarkable Rocks, and Admirals Arch in Flinders Chase. Staying overnight unlocks sections of the island a day trip cannot reach. Short on time? The day tour covers the highlights. Have two or three days? You’ll see a side of Kangaroo Island most visitors miss. See all Kangaroo Island tours from Adelaide.

McLaren Vale Wine Tours

The second wine region, 30 minutes south of Adelaide. The d’Arenberg Cube winery is the landmark. Half-day options from $89 to full-day tours at $225. A shorter, cheaper alternative to the Barossa that still covers quality cellar doors and local food.

Adelaide Hills and Hahndorf

A half-day option at 4 hours. Hahndorf is Australia’s oldest surviving German settlement, with colonial streetscapes, smoked meats, and local produce. Good for families and visitors who don’t drink wine.

Victor Harbor and Coastal Day Trips

Victor Harbor ($144) features a horse-drawn tram across the causeway to Granite Island. Dolphin watch and swim cruises ($89 to $149) suit families and wildlife seekers. Both are full-day options from Adelaide CBD.

Adelaide City Tours

The Half-Day City Tour ($88) covers Adelaide Oval, heritage buildings, and the National Wine Centre of Australia. Good for first-day visitors, cruise passengers, or people with a free morning. Adelaide sightseeing tours typically take 4 hours and run in small groups.

An Adelaide city tour pairs well with a wine tour the following day. If you want to understand Adelaide before heading out on a day trip, a half-day in the city first makes sense.

Multi-Day South Australia Tours

For visitors who want more than a day, Sightseeing Tours Australia offers multi-day itineraries across South Australia: the 7 Day Adelaide to Uluru ($1,545), the 10 Day Adelaide to Perth ($2,295), and the 3 Day Adelaide to Melbourne ($895). Check availability, as multi-day tours depart less frequently than day trips.
