Enchanting Murray River & Daryl Braithwaite Event

Adelaide is a city full of culture, flavours and entertainment. Known for its relaxed pace of life, culture, art, wineries and entertainment and with the captivating coastline within reach, it’s the perfect destination to enjoy a fabulous city break. Explore the city’s heart with a visit to Victoria Square; its vibrant 19th century Central Market bustles with crowds hunting for fresh produce. If you want to hit the beach, head to historic Glenelg or enjoy a serene walk around the striking waterfront and stop for a glass of delicious local wine in one of the charming bars.

Leaving Adelaide behind, you’ll embark on a ferry journey to Kangaroo Island to begin your full day tour. Kangaroo Island offers stunning scenery, crystal-clear waters and beautiful wilderness inhabited by native Australian animals.
