With its rugged hinterlands, azure coastline, and verdant wine country, it's no wonder that the Fleurieu Pensinsula is a favored locale for Adelaideans and visitors alike. Soak up the scenery as you visit the beloved beach town of Victor Harbor and the wine-centric villages around McLaren Vale.

Meet your guide at the Adelaide Central Bus Station, and climb aboard your comfortable coach. Ride through the rolling green landscape of the Adelaide Hills to the historic Scottish village of Strathalbyn. Enjoy some free time in town to grab morning tea, check out the charming architecture of the town's older buildings, or stroll through the parks and gardens off High Street.

Head back to the coach, and continue on to the river port town of Goolwa, on the mouth of the Murray River. Your guide leads you on a brief tour of the town's wharf and explains the engineering behind its 5 barrages. Make your way along the coast, passing by Port Elliot on the cerulean curve of Horseshoe Bay, and stop at Whale Lookout to snap a photo and watch for southern right whales breaching offshore.

Arrive in Victor Harbor, a lively, seaside locale on the Encounter Coast, where you can opt to ride an authentic horse-drawn tram across the causeway to beautiful Granite Island for a look at its colony of little penguins.There's free time to grab some lunch, and spend some time exploring the main street, before heading back to Adelaide via the world-renowned wine region of McLaren Vale, famed for its full-bodied shiraz and other Aussie varietals.
