Morialta Wilderness and Wildlife Hike was a nice activity. It provided serenity with beautiful display of nature. Even a red belly gave us a salute, of course from the distance. Thanks Uli for the experience.

The tour group was small and personal and the guide, Bruce was very informative and friendly. Bruce adapted the tour to suit what the group was interested in. The lunch was excellent. The kangaroo fillet I had was superbly cooked. It was a great day. Thank you Bruce

We did the half day McLaren wine tour and loved the company so much that we booked the all day Barossa wine valley tour with them also. Both were awesome. Bravo! Excellent local wineries, relevant history, and thoughtful guides made for a fun and memorable time around Adelaide. Highly recommend this company. Prompt pick-up. Friendly service. No complaints. Well-done!

Imagine yourself sitting on a large sailing catamaran sipping sparkling wine while watching the sun set over the water, sounds tempting? Departing from Adelaide's favourite beach side location, Glenelg. Be greeted by our friendly crew that will usher you to the front of the vessel ready for departure. Once out in the gulf you'll get to view the picturesque sights of Adelaide, and marvel at the beautiful lights along the foreshore of Glenelg whilst you relax and enjoy a quiet beverage with friends or make new friends. Then return to Marina Pier, which is one of Adelaide’s best outdoor dining destinations.

Inclusions: Receive a beverage of your choice from the on-board bar - additional beverages can be purchased., Restroom on board

Exclusions: No food is available on-board, please feel free to bring your own snacks or small platter.

This was the 2nd wine tour of our trip, 3rd overall and best by far. Craig, our driver and guide was totally professional, knowledgeable and thoroughly helpful. It was a pleasure to have him as our guide and the day could not have been better. We went to two wineries, were given many free tastings and had loads of time to enjoy the experience, in addition to taking in some amazing sights of the coastal towns around Adelaide. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he ensured everyone onboard had a great day, which sadly can't be said of another company we went with. Don't be put off with the relatively low price, the quality of service and experience cannot be beaten. Will certainly book again when we next visit Adelaide!

Would have been a great Cruise if it had followed Covid rules . We are 70+ and had to sit with strangers who sat 1/2 an inch next to us . There were way to many people on the boat.
