What to expect

You'll start with a pickup before climbing to Mount Lofty for unobstructed views of the city spreading toward the sea. From there it's a gentle amble through Hahndorf's quiet streets—a preserved settlement with a distinctive European flavour, good for browsing independent shops and cafes. The drive to Victor Harbor takes you through farmland and coastal approaches. Lunch happens here; afterwards explore the town or take the heritage tram if it appeals. The final stop at Urimbirra gives you close viewing of koalas, kangaroos and other locals in relatively natural settings. It's a low-key day with built-in flexibility.
