Discover Adelaide offers an enriching Adelaide Hills day tour from South Australia’s capital, tailored for travellers wanting a scenic, responsible, wildlife-filled, and culturally immersive experience. This guided journey begins with breathtaking views from Mount Lofty Summit, followed by close-up views of Australia’s iconic wildlife at Cleland Wildlife Park in a natural bush setting with wide, open spaces. Guests then explore the historic charm of Hahndorf before enjoying sweet delights at Melba’s Chocolate Factory. End the day with a cheese plate and wine tasting at Cobb’s Hill Estate before a scenic drive back to the city. With small group sizes and personalised commentary, Discover Adelaide ensures every guest enjoys a deeper connection to the region. We follow strict animal-welfare practices, so while you’ll enjoy close, memorable encounters with wild animals, we support keeping wild animals wild and you will only have the chance to touch the animals if they approach you.
