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.

When visiting Victor a trip on the horse drawn tram is a must. Sitting inside or on top of the old style carriage being pulled by these beautiful horses is just a relaxing way to travel to the island.

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.

South Australians for the past approx. 150 years’ have been visiting and appreciating Granite Island and now people from the world over make the effort to visit. This walk has the most idyllic outlooks all over the island and the views of the Southern Ocean just make you feel alive. A bonus is the gentle cardio workout being healthy, combined with the clean pure air about you.

A really interesting collection of exhibits on the local whaling industry. Lots of interactive displays which kids would really enjoy. You can tell that a lot of time and effort has been put in by the volunteers who run the centre. Great value for money

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.
