Tour description

Discover the extraordinary diversity of South Australia on this beautifully curated journey that contrasts the elegance of Adelaide with the wild beauty of the Eyre Peninsula, the heritage of Port Augusta, the vineyards of the Clare Valley and the coastal charm of the Yorke Peninsula. Adelaide, Australia’s first planned city, delights with its grand boulevards, leafy parklands and vibrant cultural precincts — a legacy of Colonel William Light’s remarkable vision. From the city’s museums and art galleries to its seaside suburbs of Glenelg, Henley and Brighton, our time here offers a wonderful introduction before we venture onto roads less travelled.

The Eyre Peninsula reveals a completely different side of the state — rugged, remote and breathtakingly beautiful. Along its 2,000 kilometres of pristine coastline, travellers will encounter calm eastern shores, towering limestone cliffs on the west, and brilliant blue waters teeming with marine life. From dolphins and sea lions to seasonal whale sightings, the region is a haven for wildlife and outdoor exploration. Seafood lovers will relish tastings of Coffin Bay oysters, scallops, King George whiting and more during immersive cruising experiences. The journey continues through historic Port Augusta, the picturesque Clare Valley and onto the Yorke Peninsula, where stories of early mining history meet scenic coastal towns. With scenic touring, local produce, memorable experiences and thoughtful pacing, this tour offers a rich and rewarding exploration of South Australia’s landscapes, culture and coastal treasures.

Testimonials

Dear Kerry and staff Thank you for organising the Temora airshow and Wagga tour for our club. We all enjoyed the four days away. The tour length was just right for us ‘oldies’. The Mercure Wagga was very comfortable and centrally located, and there was plenty of free time to explore the galleries, gardens Riverina Museum, and shops on offer in Wagga. The Tamora airshow was an opportunity to view old planes and to see an aviation display for novices to aviation displays. We learnt so much about the RAAF presence in Wagga and Temora during WWII. A highlight of the Junee Rail Museum was the dedicated locals who told us all about trains and privatisation of New South Wales rails. A special bouquet of thanks to Paul , our wonderful coach driver and Marie, our friendly tour guide. Nothing was a problem for them. Both Marie and Paul worked as a great team and put us all at ease. We greatly appreciated all their work, effort, fun and friendship to make our trip memorable. Thanks Guys! It was great to be travelling with Oncourse again. Our club is looking forward to seeing what tourism plans you have in store for 2024. Again, many thanks for your help. Best wishes to all the On Course team.

Regards, Elizabeth

Dear On Course Tours and Travel, Thank you so much for a wonderful trip to King Island. I have been on a great many coach trips but can honestly say that yours are the best by far (I was also on the Christmas in July trip to Nelson Bay with you guys), I hope to join some more of your tours next year.

Kind regards, Marlene
