Tour operator

👍👍 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...

👍👍 Great place here. Lots of wildlife. It really feels like you are walking in the bush while you are here, but beware that there are some closed paths and you will need to walk along the borders (main roads) which is not entirely convenient Amazing scenery and wildlife. Great hiking trails. A very...

BBQ Buoys

Bar & grill

👍👍 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.

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...

👍👍 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.
