About this tour

From there, head into the Adelaide Hills to spot native fauna against forested backdrops. A guide leads the way between stops, pointing out local history and wildlife. Pickup from your cruise terminal is included, as is lunch and water. It's a balanced mix of colonial architecture and open-air natural encounters.

What to expect

After collection from your ship, you'll head inland toward Hahndorf village. Expect an hour or so to explore on foot—browsing craft outlets, stepping into heritage cottages, and sampling regional food at a set dining spot. The second half pivots to the surrounding Hills, where your guide will stop at wildlife-viewing zones. You'll see wallabies, koalas, and bird species in their native bush setting, though sightings aren't guaranteed. Travel time between venues is built in; wear comfortable shoes and bring a hat. The pace suits all fitness levels.
