South Australia Holidays

Crowned the country's top gourmet region, South Australia is also home to the mountains of the Flinders Ranges and the wildlife haven that is Kangaroo Island. South Australia holidays are a great introduction to the outback, or you can kick back on a boat ride up the Murray River, or visit the World Heritage listed caves of Naracoote on the Limestone Coast.

You can kayak with dolphins at Port Adelaide or go hot air ballooning over the Barossa Valley, but one of the most exciting things to do in South Australia is to go swimming with great white sharks at Port Lincoln. By booking onto one of these South Australia tours you'll find yourself face to face with these predators from the relative safety of a cage.

You are spoilt for choice when it comes to restaurants in South Australia but for dishes using only the freshest of ingredients you should attend a seasonal table lunch, such as the one at the Peter Lehmann winery in the Barossa Valley. Alternatively, learn how to cook yourself at Tasting Australia, a week-long culinary festival held every two years in Adelaide.

In South Australia accommodation comes in all shapes and sizes. Find self-catering apartments in Angaston, or retreat to a cabin amid the rolling countryside of the Clare Valley. The Murray River has some charming bed and breakfasts, but for a really relaxing break why not hire a houseboat and stage your very own floating spa?

The state capital Adelaide is surely the best place to indulge in some South Australia shopping. Here you can choose between gigantic shopping malls and dainty boutiques selling one-off items. The Barossa Collection in the Barossa Valley is also a unique shopping experience, allowing you to browse the rails of homegrown designers or buy handmade gifts created by local artisans.

In the historical seaside town of Robe, South Australia has a real hidden treasure that you'll be glad you found. Surrounded by Little Dip National Park and with wild beaches and coastal walks to enjoy, this old seafaring town is an enchanting bolthole that you'll never want to leave.
