About this tour
Spend eight hours exploring South Australia's Adelaide Hills with a small group, starting from the city or Glenelg. You'll take in panoramic views from Mount Lofty Summit, spend time with native wildlife in Cleland's bushland setting, wander through the heritage-listed German village of Hahndorf, and finish with chocolate, cheese and wine tastings at local producers. Personalised commentary throughout means you'll learn the region's backstory without the tourist-group feel.
Highlights
- Mount Lofty Summit for sweeping Adelaide plains views
- Close encounters with wombats, koalas and kangaroos at Cleland
- Free time exploring Hahndorf's 1830s German architecture
- Chocolate tasting at Melba's factory
- Wine and cheese experience at Cobb's Hill Estate
What to expect
Your driver picks you up and heads straight for Mount Lofty's lookout, where you'll get a sense of the hills' scale and the plains beyond. From there, it's into Cleland Wildlife Park—the animals roam naturally rather than being caged, so you'll see them on their terms in proper bushland. You'll have time to explore at your pace. Hahndorf comes next: it's a proper working town with heritage buildings, cafes and craft shops, so bring cash if you want to browse. The afternoon wraps up with tastings: chocolate first, then wine and cheese at a local vineyard. Water's provided, but you'll need to budget for lunch yourself.
Good to know
Bring comfortable walking shoes and sun protection—you'll be outdoors most of the day. The chocolate tasting isn't suitable for those with dairy allergies. Gluten-free options are available on request, though cross-contamination is possible. Prams and infant seats are available if you're travelling with young children.
