South Australia is a vast state and contains a portion of almost everything that makes Australia so unique and recognisable. From the great stretching vastness of the wild Australian Outback to the charm of wine valleys and beaches of silver sand, your stay will be a memorable one.
The capital of South Australia is Adelaide, a charming city that has developed differently from the rest of Australia’s major settlements. Regency and Victorian architectural styles are reflected in many of the historic buildings that line the streets and also in the museums, art galleries and other cultural centres. Sporting a Mediterranean climate, it is no stranger to warm summer sunshine and as such offers the cooling respite of spots such as Glenelg Beach, its waves ideal for a day out and a refreshing dip.
The city is a gateway to the Barossa Valley, an area that has become a famous wine region, known for its perfect climate that combines warm summers and cool winters, creating ideal conditions for grape growing. Now world-renowned, its lush green valleys and bountiful vineyards send guests into a pastoral dreamland. Boutique wineries and old cellars provide tastings in this, one of Australia’s oldest wine-producing regions. It is also filled with culinary delights such as artisanal cheese farmers, organic garden produce and fruit orchards, the many gourmet food markets proving to be a great way to interact with the laidback locals and your fellow visitors.
Alternatively, the Flinders Ranges to the state’s north are stark and picturesque, their heights reaching out from the green savannahs and red ochre stone of the great Outback. Gentle foothills lead up to remarkable mountains, the surrounding wilderness filled with trademark wildlife and flora. Learn about the ancient past and culture of the First Nations peoples through a local guide while journeying to the barren Lake Eyre or travelling to the thermal waters of Dalhousie Springs, used for millennia by the Aboriginal people.

An incredible one-in-a-lifetime experience!! Thank you Jacada Travel for putting together the best trip ever!!
The trips was an amazing overview of Australia! We traveled to Sydney, Uluru, the Daintree Rainforest and Lizard Island. Each place had uniqueness that made it memorable. We especially loved the glamping in Uluru and the "private jet" to Lizard Island. The accommodations were fantastic and the care that Jacada offered made this trip quite special.
Ellie has done a fabulous job listening to our interests, needs, wants and desires in customizing our Australia/Tasmania/New Zealand itinerary. She has put together a spectacular trip for us. I would highly recommend Ellie and Jacada for your travel needs.
