👍👍 Host: Wonderful, enthusiastic, passionate about her city, knowledgable and full of energy. Tour: 3hrs, did not feel that long, though remember decent walking shoes and a bottle of water.

Long Ridge Lookout

Scenic spot

👍👍 Very interesting place. We had a night hike and it took about 40 mins to get to the top and 30 mins to get down. There were plenty of kangaroos on the top of the mountain and they were not afraid of people at all (don’t get too close or they will be scared). The night view of the city was amazing bu...

Mortlock Wing, State Library of South Australia

Library

👍👍 This is such a great little spot to work from. The smell of leather bound books wafts through the hall, plenty of desks on the second level and even power points accessible via a panel on the floor. Each desk is divided by a bookshelf so you feel like you’re working in your own space. It’s fairly...

Third Falls

Scenic spot

👍 Awesome hike!!! I've been an Adelaide local for so long and done My Lofty Summit multiple times but I enjoyed this hike so much more! A great one for new hikers, hikers with kids or two besties who want to hike and talk - you can make this as easy or as hard as you want with the multiple tracks.

👍👍 My friends and I had a delightful experience hiring a buoy during a sunny weekend afternoon here. The booking and arrangements were effortlessly handled, contributing to a seamless visit.

Escapegoat Adventures

Bicycle rental service

👍👍 I was so stoked to see that such a service was available in Adelaide! Ian was friendly, professional and very knowledgeable.

River Torrens

Tourist attraction

👍 A nice river that divides the north and south sides of Adelaide. There are some riverside areas all along the river, where you can just relax and look at the view. I’d say it is a good running/walking track. However, from where I was, the view was nice but not amazing. There is a trail where you can...

Waite Conservation Reserve

Nature preserve

👍👍 For only a small walk, this view is definitely worth it. To be able to swing out over Adelaide city is a must do! Not only that, there is so many beautiful chairs located on the mountain top for a slightly different experience each time. Bring the little ones or take a date, it will be a memorable s...

Arboretum

👍👍 I have been walking around these gardens every time I visit Adelaide during the last 20 years. It is such a beautiful quiet spot in the heart of Adelaide. There are so many amazing varieties of plants and trees from around the world with many being planted at the turn of the century. There is a dam...

Giant's Cave

Scenic spot

👍👍 I have been going on the Morialta walk since the early 90's and always love visiting the cave on my way down back to the car park. It is a good sized cave that has some amazing colours, especially as the sun passes over and shines through into the afternoon. It is quite cool inside and can be a rel...

Second Falls

Scenic spot

👍👍 Second Falls in the middle of winter, the surrounding trees are no longer tinged with autumn sunshine. An abundant water source cleanses and purifies people's souls in a noisy and chaotic era but is also very beautiful and tolerant. Waterfalls as a gift of nature to the warm hearts of Adelaide and...

Museum of Economic Botany

Museum

😠 What an astonishing visit! Who knew that so much money could be handed over to make an oil and gas profiteer appear to be supportive of beautiful and rare plants while fracking away like crazy
