As proud South Aussies, we’ve all got our own local bucket lists. We share them with friends, revisit favourites, pass traditions on to family and make new memories with every summer that passes.
Whether it’s touring the grounds of Adelaide Oval, soaking up the seascapes of the Yorke Peninsula or hitting the track at The Bend, there really is something for everyone across our spectacular state. Here’s our ultimate bucket list, featuring SA’s top experiences – from us to you – so you can holiday here this year. Enjoy.
Adelaide
Great heights
One of SA’s top tourist attractions, Adelaide Oval is beloved by locals and visitors alike. If you haven’t seen the impressive structure from above, pop it on your list. The RoofClimb experience takes you across the very top of the stands, where you’ll see the sights of the city from a bird’s eye view, as well as the historic scoreboard.

Taste the state
There’s no doubt Adelaide Central Market is a South Aussie landmark – it’s one of the largest undercover markets in the Southern Hemisphere. But now you can experience the market after dark with the Collaborators Dinner Tour, thanks to Food Tours Australia. A local guide will take you on a small tour through the market, with a roving dining experience to remember.
Check out a range of other market tours.
Paddle in peace
Feel like you’re floating through a Jurassic Park set as you paddle along the creeks of Garden Island, surrounded by 10,000-year-old mangrove forests. Accompanied by a tour guide (who’s also a marine biologist), you may even encounter some of the local dolphins as they swim through the creeks. Learn about the area, soak up the scenery and take in the natural wildlife as you float along in your intimate tour group.

Adelaide Hills
The Hills are alive
Now a popular household name in the beauty world, Jurlique still proudly operates its farm in the Adelaide Hills. Take a tour of the Biggs Flat property to learn more about the biodynamic farming and explore the stunning property. Visit the Farm Shop and take home some goodies. Trust us, this place is good for the soul and the skin.

Platters & pinot
Delicious drops abound in our gorgeous Adelaide Hills, and it’s no exception at Anderson Hill. All you have to do is sit back on the deck, relax and take in the beautiful views. Pre-purchase a Tapas and Wine Experience at a special price, which includes a mezze platter of cured meats, cheese, antipasti and bread, and a bottle of wine. Book your
wine-and-dine experience.
