  • Overview

    This tough, yet rewarding guided hike takes you from the serenity of Waterfall Gully and along the trails of Cleland Conservation Park to the summit at Mount Lofty.

    A short scenic drive from the City takes you direct to the trailhead of Adelaide’s most popular hike. Arriving around 8.30am, be amazed by your first sight of the spectacular First Falls sparkling in the morning sunshine. Setting off at your own pace and depending upon your interest stops along the way, expect to take between 1 to 2 hours to arrive at the Summit.

    Fully immerse yourself in the environment and sense the wilderness while listening to the sounds of the native birdlife. Detect the distinctive scents of the eucalyptus trees as the 3.9km trail climbs past waterfalls, along streams and gully ridges.

    Keep a keen eye out for sleepy koalas high in the gum trees, small lizards or even a kangaroo grazing in the bush!

  • What's included?
    • Start the day fresh, active and inspired! In an area abundant with native wildlife you will hike past waterfalls, along streams and follow the gully ridges. Immerse yourself in the natural environment and be sure to soak up the negative ions as you pass by the waterfalls and flowing streams to feel even more invigorated.
    • Return transport direct to the trail head provides hassle free and easy access to this popular trail. Upon arrival at the trail head be greeted by your tour guide and get ready to start the hike to the Summit.

    22/03/22 - My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the Adelaide City to Sea Bike Tour. Starting off on Franklin Road near the heart of the city and riding down to the Torrens River and along the bike path all the way out to Henley and then back to Glenelg. A well deserved coffee and cake stop in Henley before the last leg to Glenelg. Lawrence and Chris were fantastic guides and company. The bikes were in fantastic condition unlike us by the end.... Definitely a great way to see the area.

    Booked the Adelaide City to Sea bike tour. Absolutely loved it, Kane our guide was awesome, really friendly and knowledgeable. It’s bike tracks all the way and really nice riding terrain and vistas along the river Torrens all the way to the sea. Highly recommend!

    A truly fabulous tour and well worth every cent. My husband and I regrettably spent far too short a time in Adelaide, however our cycling tour with Matt from Adelaide up to Glenelg was seriously great value, so much fun and so informative. In a short time, we felt that we had good appreciation of the city which guaranteed that we would be returning for a longer visit. Absolutely don’t hesitate – just book and enjoy a AAA rated experience.

    My wife and I recently went on the Vines and Victor Eco tour around the Fleurieu Peninsula. It was a birthday present from her to me, and turned out to be one of the best birthdays ever. Uli is the perfect guide; friendly and so knowledgeable. Everything about the day was fantastic. But the standouts would have to be the boat trip from Victor Harbour out to Seal island and then to Encounter Bay to catch up with the dolphins, and the visit to Gemtree Winery with the tour and tasting. A truly memorable day.
