South Australia’s Natural Wonders
Adelaide is the perfect base for families to explore the southern frontier. Within a few hours, you can find everything from gentle bushwalks to coastal wildlife encounters – all easy to get to and full of family memories.
Head south to Kangaroo Island, where kids can see sea lions sunbathing on the beach and koalas snoozing in gum trees. Travel west for a taste of the outback on the Nullarbor Plain – big skies, red earth, and safe roadside stops that make the journey part of the fun. Or head east to Victoria and the Great Ocean Road, the Twelve Apostles and the Grampians National Park for family-friendly walking trails and lookouts that even little legs can manage.
These small group or private eco-tours are designed for families. You’ll travel in comfortable vehicles with regular breaks, guided by locals who know the best spots for wildlife watching, short walks and picnic stops. Accommodation ranges from cozy cabins to eco-lodges, so everyone is comfortable without losing the adventure.
Every trip is built around care for nature, for local communities and for the memories you’ll take home. Travelling sustainably helps protect the places your kids will grow up exploring, while also teaching them about conservation and respect for wildlife. Whether it’s stargazing by the campfire or sharing fish and chips by the beach, these trips show families that adventure and comfort can go hand-in-hand.
