Discover the beauty, wildlife and flavours of the Adelaide Hills on this relaxed shore tour.
Step off your cruise and enjoy a premium small-group adventure through the beautiful Adelaide Hills. Your Discover Adelaide guide will meet you at the port at 8:30 am, ready for a full day of scenic views, wildlife encounters and local flavours. Begin with panoramic vistas from Mount Lofty Summit, followed by a visit to Cleland Wildlife Park, where you can meet kangaroos, wallabies and koalas up close. Continue on to the charming village of Hahndorf to browse the shops and enjoy a leisurely lunch. The afternoon features a sweet stop at Melba’s Chocolates before unwinding at a beautiful Adelaide Hills winery. You’ll return to the ship before 5:00pm (or earlier if needed), refreshed and ready to sail with unforgettable memories of South Australia’s most picturesque region.
