Take a short stroll or horse tram ride over the wooden causeway that connects the mainland at Victor Harbor to Granite Island Recreation Park. Enjoy the coastal scenery and discover the island's interesting history along the Kaiki Walk or go fishing from the jetty, or causeway (no fishing from breakwater). You may even spot a southern right whale between June and October.

Granite Island was a highlight to visit in Victor Harbour. There is a designated walking trail, great views, sculptures and it is an easy walk, about 40 minutes or longer if you capture everything and take your time. Just do it it is so worth it.

This wild, untamed, magnificent coastal region, is within 11 km driving distance from Victor Harbor. This is a patrolled conservation park where one can enjoy bird watching e.g. migrating Terns on the shore; kangaroos just inland around the camping area. Fishermen do occasionally try their luck, but the surf is very dangerous and swimming is definitely not advised. Peaceful and quiet.

In February this was a very quiet route, with few other cyclists and little traffic on adjoining roads so very safe and relaxing. Great views of the sea and interesting and viewing varied holiday homes from the path. Options to ride as far as you want. Options to stop in Victor Harbour or Port Elliott for drinks/ refreshments/ shopping. Port Elliot offers interesting heritage information and sites too. Route well maintained and signed.

Starts at sundown. So in summer that is a late start for a young family. The guides were extremely good. Penguin and nature lovers and full of knowledge. Liked the way when they found a penguin, children were asked to come forward first. I think the tour is the safest way to see the colony. Saw 5 penguins and a baby. Explained how to very careful with bright light, noise and distance for viewing- all of which we saw ignored by people just walking over the bridge at night alone.
