The 10 Best Things to do Adventurous in Adelaide, South Australia

January 6, 2022 Almeta Stockton

The capital city of South Australia is simply enchanting, a treasure trove of shopping, fine arts, gastronomy and outdoor activity. Adelaide is the heart of the world's opal industry, selling gorgeous stones from South Australian mines. Be sure to hike the aptly named Mt. Lofty Ranges and catch a wave off the Fleurieu Peninsula. Indulge your adventurous palate and traipse into nearby wine regions like the famed Barossa Valley to pick up a deliciously drinkable souvenir.

Choose from a wide variety of airports, weather conditions and options. You take control and taxi, take-off fly and land the aircraft yourself!

Reviewed By stefanoP8360EI

This was a fun and educational experience. Daniel was a fantastic instructor, really friendly and helpful. The environment was also excellent, the cockpit made you feel like you were almost actually flying... As it is based inside Parafield airport, the experience also takes on an added dimension, as there were lots of student and experienced pilots in and around the building.
