Adelaide Central Market – First stop
is the Adelaide Central Market in the heart of the city. This historic market
has been a mecca of food in Adelaide for over 140 years and still today retains
its unique charm and character. Renowned for its multicultural flavours and
local produce it has become one of Adelaide’s must do attractions. Walking
around the market is a great way to immerse yourself in the local culture
whilst indulging your senses with some of the finest produce available in South
Australia. Note: On days when the central
market is closed (Sunday/Monday), we extend the city highlights tour.
Iconic City Sights – Next up is
a leisurely drive along Adelaide’s bustling streets, precincts and surrounding
park lands. Crossing the River Torrens, we drive along the beautifully
redeveloped Riverbank Precinct, past the world famous Adelaide Oval and then
travel out of the city on Adelaide’s cultural boulevard ‘North Terrace’. Here
you will witness many of Adelaide’s most important landmarks and historic
buildings.
Mount Lofty Summit – At the
summit, fantastic panoramic views over the Adelaide Plains and Gulf St. Vincent
await. Originally spotted from Kangaroo Island in 1802 by Captain Matthew
Flinders, Mount Lofty Summit is the highest point in the Adelaide Hills at
710m. Depending upon the weather you may even gaze upon your ship in the very
distant harbour.
Cleland Wildlife Park – Our major
stop for the day is at Cleland Wildlife Park where you will have plenty of time
to get close to Australia’s most unique wildlife. Whilst immersing yourself in
the wonders of this natural bush environment, you can engage with impressive
kangaroos, shy wallabies and cute inquisitive potoroos. The Koala close-up
experience is a definite must do, along with seeing the Emu’s, Dingoes,
Wombats, and native bird life. Cleland is also your stop for a delicious picnic
lunch.
Penfolds Winery – A visit to
Adelaide will not be complete without tasting some of the region’s local wines!
Just 20minutes from the heart of the city and nestled in the foothills of the
beautiful Adelaide Hills, we stop at the world renowned Penfolds Winery. Established
in 1844, Penfolds is one of South Australia’s oldest and most famous wineries,
offering views across its iconic city vineyards and historic buildings. In the
state of the art cellar door, you will experience personalised tasting of their
internationally acclaimed wines.
Return to Port – To end an
amazing day on a perfect note, you will enjoy a scenic drive along the coastal
foreshore of Adelaide back to your ship at Outer Harbor, in time for departure.
